  1. I cannot Edit my original post anymore (after a while that option is gone, but: Tutankam, it actually works I just tested it with only a FinalGrom plugged in (and removed the Speech and PEB Box) There are two versions of the start blue titlescreen (option 2). One is "Parker Brothers' Game" the other one "Tutankam" (I found the answer back in my own post that time 🙂 )
  2. It seems Hopman was released 26-March-2023 already for the TI-99/4A, but recently added to the page: http://inufuto.web.fc2.com/8bit/hopman/#ti99 Video has been published 20 min ago (9am GMT+9 // 7am GMT+7):
  3. does the one in the .zip file work? if so then I need to check again, otherwise need to locate a better .bin (I had a similar issue with Buck Rogers, but found a working one)
  4. All TI-99/4A "High Score Competition" FinalGrom format files grouped per year together until August 2023. TI-AtariAge-HISCORE-Competition.zip Apparently these games we played 2 times: * Centipede (2nd session - mizapf), * Spot-Shot (DragonFlyer) (2nd session - Jwild), * Cave Creatures (1st session - Opry99er). Tutankam - could not get it to work in Finalgrom (but works in Classic99). Adventure requires access to a disk drive (or tape) with the Pirate Adventure game (or use an emulator like Classic99, JS99er, MAME, etc.) Tetris and Major Tom need to be loaded with Editor / Assembler option 5 from a disk (or use an emulator) Compu-Car only after the 1st game the sprites are a bit corrupted, after game over, the next game onwards the sprites are okay (I converted to a module, but that time I could not find the right starting point).
  5. Something like 1.5-2 hours. I was trying not to use blocks, etc. and go as fast as possible up.
  6. 66,590 level 46, keys (E,S,D,X and Q for jump). Retrobat/Mame64 It started to repeat itself and got more 1-ups during the game. I was able to jump over the red bomb.
  7. Yesterday I was at the Home Computer museum in Helmond Netherlands. https://www.homecomputermuseum.nl/ and still battling in the computer wars. Visitors got attracted by look who's talking:
  8. 24,070 level 17, keys (E,S,D,X and Q for jump). Retrobat/Mame64
  9. Looks like Hopman will be next hopefully for the TI as well https://www.youtube.com/@retropc9857/videos (Impetus is not there for the TI, but I can run it in an MSX emulator)
  10. It also works for me. MAME v0.256, non-GenMod 1.00 MDOS 7.30 and ABASIC 4.04DDI (mame.exe geneve -bios 1.00 -peb:slot5 speech -peb:slot6 tirs232 -peb:slot8 hfdc -peb:slot8:hfdc:h1 generic -hard1 disks\genhd01.hd %*)
  11. glad to hear it works! I thought when starting MAME from Retrobat it uses the mame.ini from this directory - C:\RetroBat\bios\mame\ini (I will add it to this in the TI-99.zip file) and starting mame directly it uses C:\RetroBat\emulators\mame (and similar with the bezel artwork it uses another directory from the saves\mame\artwork directory vs \emulators\mame\artwork
  12. Normally you should not go into the mame interface at all, when starting Retrobat (directory C:\Retrobat). in Retrobat you can check missing bios files.
  13. For the Wireless Controllers issue - there is no error message (I can see them being connected as 1 and 2, but no input, unless I turn them on/off sometimes it works in MAME, I guess a bluetooth / Windows issue and if 2 programs use the controllers (retrobat/emulstation and mame) I am using MAME 256 (but tried earlier versions as well) When using USB (for Joystick controllers) it works fine (as long they are assigned wireless port 1 and 2 of course, means to turn of all other controllers as they dynamically might take port 1 and 2) (it can be configured statically to use port 1 and 2 for the specific controllers I saw)
  14. My guess is that the C:\RetroBat\roms\ti99 directory is empty ? (no .rpk) (see ti99 directory here): https://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/Batocera/Batocera-ti99v2.zip
  15. Thank you! in mame.ini I had to change it, but is old style sharp output now! # # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS # video bgfx
  16. (Not working via Retrobat yet to start MAME, not sure if both Retrobat/Emulstation and MAME can use the Bluetooth PS4 Controllers, but all other systems work fine). When using MAME directly it works partially. 3. USB-DB9 Joystick works in MAME64, but a PS4 controller does not work (Via UI Mode, press TAB): * Bluetooth PS4 controller gets detected in MAME under Joystick (number 1 means Joystick 1, if you have more you see Joystick 2) * Often I see all 0 under Device ID * Then I turn off the Bluetooth controller and turned it on, then all is working (you see these values) (this works directly with MAME, but with Retrobat, it remains all 0 and turn on/off the PS4 controller sometimes shows -65536, etc. but does not work)
  17. Fixed item 1 - Bezel backdrop TI-99/4A Bezel. files are in this zip: TI99-Retrobat-Setup-v3.zip For the Bezels, this is the directory that worked for me (using a TI-99/4A and using MAME)C:\RetroBat\saves\mame\artworkput here genhorizontal.zipand horizont.ini in C:\Retrobat\bios\mame\inihorizont.ini:## CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS#fallback_artwork genhorizontal# Uncomment next line to use this for all gamesoverride_artwork genhorizontThese posts helped:https://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork_generic.php (e.g. download genhorizont.zip)https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/54304-default-mame-bezels/
  18. when using RetroBat (using MAME) I get a very sharp output (not sure how to find the settings) "ASTRO CUBE". when I start from command line (same MAME) the output is a bit fuzzy. ("BLASTO") (both are full screen, not window, I tried with resolution settings, but could not get the same as Retrobat)
  19. Why not? Being the the author of the game does not mean automatically having the highest score ! 🙂 😀 you should play!
  20. 13,600. NUTS V1.1. Level hard. Retrobat/mame64 keyboard
  21. Hi Greg / @arcadeshopper Can you help to update the table on the top? TI99ATARIAGECOM-HIGHSCORECOMPETITION.docx Unless someone is still playing very hard on those 45 levels in LIFT? then otherwise tmop69 is the winner (score 67,170) and is up to choose the game for the July 2023 competition!
