Update on the TI99 images to look better in the preview and to show old vs new manual RomTI99Images.zip e.g. the image will show both manuals (FYI - some TI-99 Cartridges have 3x different manuals)

I just tested with Batocera - https://updates.batocera.org/x86_64/stable/last/batocera-x86_64-x86_64-39-20240304.img.gz (website - https://batocera.org/download) Desktop PC, Laptop, NUC and Intel-based Apple Computers > unzip to .img file, with Win32mgr write to a USB stick (Sandisk 64 gb and bootup on the PC (Beelink Ser5), then a bluescreen appears, press key and boot Batocera. > press F1 (for the file system) > copy (from another USB stick or disk the .rpk files into SHARE/roms/ti99 (search on ftp.whtech.com in the batoceraretrobat) > copy in SHARE/bios the ti99_4a.zip and the ti99_speech.zip > Press spacebar > Game Settings > Update Gamelists (then Esc), now the TI99 is listed in the menu > Press spacebar > Game Settings > Per System configuration > TI99 > Emulator > MAME (Note: Libretro/MAME, it seems to have issues with sound and keymapping, like ENTER) (I did not had sound at first): > press spacebar -> System Settings -> Audio ouput -> select the right sound option Now > TI-99 - > select your TI game -> press Esc (this takes a while on my system, somehow Batocera is a bit slower than Retrobat, maybe because it runs of the USB) > Some hotkeys: ESC to get back to Batocera. (or CTRL-ESC in Libretro/MAME) > or SELECT + START on a controller > TAB (to configure MAME itself) > Using Controllers > Wired might work the best, Wireless I am using issues with PS4 controllers and Bluetooth (discovered okay, mapped okay, but after standby does not associate anymore and cannot delete and rediscover) > XINPUT controllers might work better as MAME prefers it. (that's why I use Windows with Retrobat and DS4Windows and Hide to use wireless PS4 controllers in XINPUT mode) > Mapping TI-keys. > Press spacebar > Game Settings > Per System configuration > TI99 > PAD2Key file. > e.g. map keys like 1, 2, 3 to to Y, A, B buttons on a PS4 controller > multi-combination keys e.g. FCTN-QUIT map it to (right) ALT and = (when you see the keyboard at the bottom of the screen you see the option how to configure combination keys) > or configure FCTN-BACK and FCTN-REDO (I map it to the Right Analog Stick). > and configure SELECT to 5 (e.g. for Mario Bros to insert a coin) Then most TI games you can play without touching the keyboard. Hope this helps for your Batocera setup.

15320. I am trying other levels at the bottom is a difficult one.

@Frank1969 I moved to Retrobat. But batocera should work very similar (bios, roms, rpk all the same). Try the retroarch/libretro as emulator (you can configure it per game) Or try mame64 as emulator. That might give the crash.

The orphan chronicles on internet archive of R. Albright is a good read. And home computer wars (more on commodore).
