    Could Joust really be done on a standard 4A or do you think it would end up being the first F18A only port?

    Now after seeing what Rasmus did with Sabre Wulf, I guess almost anything is possible.

    The game Henhouse is essentially Joust reskinned. It might be difficult to make a pixel perfect copy, but the game mechanics aren't hard.

    Those are the numbers we're looking at. So far, we've got Ω with 1, OLD CS1 with 2, and Iwantgames:) with 1. If anyone else is interested, say the word. I'll wait for a little while to let people respond before I begin this build.

    I would be interested in one, and be happy to pay for labor too - or happy to get a kit and build myself.

    Thanks!

     

    The Atari titles will work off an eprom, but to load numerous files onto one eprom You need a loader for titles higher than 8kb, or a way of switching them like a dipswitch.

    Tursi has menu software that works with 8kb files, but as far as I am aware will not work with titles higher than 8kb.

     

    Forgive my noob-ness here ... I see that some Atari titles has two .bin files. For example, Ms. Pacman has MSPACC.BIN and MSPACD.BIN files, both 8K. How would I burn these? Would I concatenate the files and burn to a 16K EPROM? Or do these need a board other than the 64k Jon Guidry cart?

    So I have built myself a 64k Jon Guidry cart (well, three), I have 27c512 EPROMs and an EPROM burner, I've downloaded all of the TI 99/4a software tittles from the Internet Archive ( located here ), and now I have realized I am missing one critical piece of information: what to do next. How do I build the data file that get's burned into the cart's EPROM?

     

    Sorry if this is already recorded somewhere, my searching could not find it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have started filling up my CF7 card with, well, just about everything I have. But one of my pet peeves is having the software and no manual. of the 70+ games I have loaded on the card I am down to just a few I can't find a manual for and like the game. Most are little independent games that, probably, didn't have a manual t begin with. Before I make my own manual I was wondering if anyone happens to have a copy.

    Here is the list:

    Driving Demon

    Tile Breaker (breakout clone)

    War zone 2 (or whatever version)

    Rotor Raider

    Astro Fighter

    Water Works

    TI Scrabble (missing on CYC)

    Q-Bert

    I have looked in WHTECH, my CYC disk and the web.

     

     

     

     

    I have the Q*Bert manual. When I get a chance, I will scan it and post it here.

    And your Mac? What does it have?

     

    Again, a standard Mac (USB, ethernet, etc).

     

    I guess my question really is should I get a serial device server and connect the TI to my home ethernet network? Should I get a serial-to-USB connector and use that path? How about these CF card disk emulators? It would seem the HDX cards only have accompanying PC software, is there a Mac port (or at least a comm protocol specification that would allow one to be made)? What mac-side software should be used with any solution? Basically, what are my options?

    What is your setup? Do you have a PEB, or a CF7/nanoPEB? Sidecar extensions?

     

    On a barenaked console there's really no way to set up a bi-directional connection (best I can think of is via the line-out of the Mac to the cassette interface of the TI and using an wav or mp3 player to play back cassette wav files... :) )

     

    Sorry .. I have a PEB with the standard RS232/32K/Floppy compliment.
