  1. LOL ... lots of people can't resist to click on everything, and I'm staring on a still image of a video.🤦‍♂️
  2. OK, that's it. I did not buy a vacuum cleaner. Is there anything else to do during cruising? I was able to suck in two ghosts on the street, and now I also saw a ghost in front of a building, positioned the trap, and tried to catch it with the trap, but failed, of course. Need more practice. Funnily, I could not make sense of the map at first because I had this "Necker cube" illusion where you misconstruct an ambiguous shape; that is, I did not see the roof top on the upper right corner, but something like an atrium with walls on the lower left. I remember I played Ghostbusters on the C64 of a friend back in the 80s; this really brings back memories.
  3. Am I missing instructions to play the game, or is something broken here? I can drive through the map, leaving a dotted trail, then I press the joystick button and see the car from above, the road seems to move, but the only thing I can do is to steer left or right. Pressing the joystick button does not do anything. After some time, the car stops at the right. Then I see a person on the right in front of the building, and two seconds later I am back on the road.
  4. The "gromemu" has become kind of a wildcard for large ROM handling; I extended it to the maximum of 4096 banks (each 8K, i.e. max 32 MiB). The "pagedXXX" refers to the concrete selector chip in the cartridge (74LSXXX); the 74LS378 has six selector bits, so it cannot handle more than 64 banks (512 KiB). The only shortcoming of the MAME emulation of the paged378 cartridge is that the GROM part is missing.
  5. In fact, our university is now forced to look for alternatives to VMware / vSphere. Our faculty (computer science) had to pay annually €25k for the licenses over all the years. With the new licensing, we would have to pay €130k (more than 5 times as much). Our budget is limited at about €90k/a, so without a yearly bank robbery, we can't pay that.
  6. mame ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot3 speech -cart exbasic In Extended Basic, try CALL SAY("HELLO"). As for the scope of emulation, see also https://www.ninermame.org/info/scope
  7. paged378 does not support GROM; it's still a TODO. You can use gromemu instead. I just changed that for you here. gbust.rpk
  8. Seems as if it were at release 0.250, quite a while back. Except for TIPI support, I did not add new features for the TI since then.
  9. I first thought that "Bildschirmtext" was a wrong translation, but "PRESTEL" and "Viditel" seem to prove that it was correct - this is not Teletext (what you get from TV) but a phone line-based communication system. (If it were Teletext, the proper translation would have been "Videotext".) Interesting.
  10. OK, just a first run. I think I remember why I gave up playing with it.
  11. Play The Mine with background music or not? 🤪
  12. You can drop the listname attribute; I actually forgot to update it. The only important decision is the pcb type. Edit: The listname attribute was originally planned by me to link RPKs to the corresponding ZIP entries in the software list. The software list is configured by the file hash/ti99_cart.xml. However, since the RPK loader was kept in MAME and since the ZIP loader was never extended to load RPKs, this attribute became obsolete.
  13. Here is the RPK; this is the layout.xml inside: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <romset version="1.0" listname="exptest"> <resources> <rom id="romimage1" file="ATLANTIS.bin"/> </resources> <configuration> <pcb type="paged378"> <socket id="rom_socket" uses="romimage1"/> </pcb> </configuration> </romset> atlantis.rpk
