  1. Just asking here... you are putting the cassette machine on record? At this point, I think pics or good sketches are needed here.
  2. Compact portable cassette recorders have a loud output. Home music or boom box types may not. The forum members who are suggesting connecting the PC output into the recorders mic, that will boost it enough to feed your TI99/4a. Go ahead and have a tape in it to record. Yo should be able to both save your WAV program to tape and Load it into the TI at the same time. Next time. you'll only need your newly made tape.
  3. Hi Schmitzi, I got this from @Vorticon, in non-working condition as he describes it in his quoted thread above. The CF adapter was found on ebay, I have no clue if it works on the nano or not. I had a regulated and beefy 5-volt supply and tried others as well. @arcadeshopper provided the CF card pre-formatted and ready to go. So it “should have” worked. When it didn’t, most likely there’s a problem with the nano itself, unless I messed up the cf card’s content or my cf adapter choice was a poor one. I don’t have a way to troubleshoot the nano and other than swapping the cf card and reader with known working examples I’m stuck with a shelf queen. -Ed
  4. Bump. i never did get this Nanopeb to work on a known working beige non-QI TI
  5. Oops! Ha Ha. No extra charge for that!
  6. Maybe this will help. I upped the graphic a bit. That’s all 28 positions TI allows in BASIC and Extended BASIC. On the “6” I thought you were asking which column a part of the ship was in. Nevermind.. -Emily Litella
  7. Not sure I’m following you, but yeah looks like 6 to me too. In my screenshot above, there’s that row of numbers I inserted into the graphic that shows the column number, just refer to that.
  8. I never could follow this style of coding logic. It was used a lot on the Timex Sinclair TS1000 which was my first “real” computer. I could type it in from a magazine or book program listing, but only grasped a couple of the routies for my own programs. You guys who mentally walk through them, my hat’s off to ya!
  9. I read some in the pdf manuals, then verified it with some test code to display something at row/col 0,0 and at 1,1. Zero is treated as though it’s a one, occupying the same screen location. Column 1 is one space to the left of the mother ship. Yes, it is at TI’s column 1. You can see the row of numbers I inserted into the program. I didn’t think the center part had any aliens so didn’t include 13-16 in my count. When I was trying out the game, obviously I wasn’t living very long so probably never got a chance to see any invaders from those locations. In the screenshot of game play, I used photoshop to insert the numbers seen below the mother ship to show which columns held an invader, except for position 6, which I missed seeing. Oopsla!
  10. I’m late to the party I see. My old Mac can’t handle the last forum ugrade. Leaves me stuck with my iPad, it’s a hassle shuffling files back and forth. Here’s a screenshot showing character count for one line and where I inserted it into your code to display it while running. OOPSIE. I left out column #6. My bad. The attached “99VLIST” version is listable and runs in console BASIC. I can’t make my man move to the right or up. Can’t shoot anyone either. I can only move Left, so no surprise all I do is Die!! LOL 99VLIST
  11. Thanks. Browser is TenFourFox. Everything on AA worked fine before the update. Now about all I can do is read. Typing this on an iPad but I suck at it with the tiny glass “keyboard.”
  12. My vintage G4 Mac laptops are left in the dust. Buttons don’t work, can’t reply or start new topic. Embedded YouTubes are blank space. Probably outdated JavaScript. 😭
