Here are the rest of the originals. I was able to find mostly good copies of just about everything (and passable copies of the rest). I also included the first group in the archive, so those who need them only need the archive to have the complete CorComp set. Note that there are three different revisions of the RS-232 card in the set.

ti disk controller has 2 eproms hi and low was this because of memory costs at the time or what ?

[The FinalGROM 99]

 

Theoretically, yes.

 

The FlashROM 99 didn't have any filename restrictions, though, so some FlashROM 99 programs may be missing (short filename ending in D) or not working (short filename ending in G) when used in the FinalGROM 99. The details are in the "Filenames" section of the homepage, which sounds more complicated that it is.

The other way around will list GROM images, but the FlashROM 99 will think they're ROM images.

 

To avoid confusion, I'd would not mix them personally, but it works if you know what you're doing.

thanks ralph

i know finalgrom bins cannot be used on flashrom but can flashrom bins be used on finalgrom

it may have already been posted and i missed it thanx

[The FinalGROM 99]

I finally uploaded the preliminary documentation for the FinalGROM 99: https://endlos99.github.io/finalgrom99/.

 

You'll notice that I didn't implement System GROM mode and Cheat mode.

 

System GROM mode seems impractical for now, as the FinalGROM doesn't initialize fast enough to catch the first GROM address write. One could probably get around this if the system GROMs are still present in the console, but this seemed like missing the point. I decided to postpone this topic for later.

 

Cheat modes could not be implemented with the current architecture, as the bytes read from the SD card bypass the main program for efficiency. And after-load patching was also not possible, as the load is a sequential, one-shot process. I think the result wouldn't justify the necessary work. My recommendation is to patch images directly and simply use patched images as cheats.

 

The help text system and the dump I'm going to look at now. I also wondered if I should support MBX games natively, but there are already conversions that use 32K instead, so I probably won't.

where can i order your finalgrom ? thanx

[Super AMS Card - Compatible Programs]

I've been trying to figure out 'what's next' on my list of 'gotta have it's". So, while I'm still patiently waiting for the Myarc DSDD/80 FDC clone to be released, I figure it's time to prioritize other things.

 

Anyway I'm trying to figure out where on the list to put a SAMS clone, if and when one is re-released. Part of my criteria is: "What's it good for?" To answer that question, I'd like to see a list of programs that actually use that cards potential. Does anyone have a list of SAMS card capable programs similar to the list for F18A compatible programs?

 

Also, I thought I read somewhere (memory failing) about a gadget that ties two P-Boxes together for people who have run out of room to plug in more cards. Anyone have any information on that?

 

Thanks.

try arcade shopper they have a splitter designed by jim fetzner

[PS2 mouse on TI99 ;)]

Very cool so I wondered if RXB could access this using my CALL IO(type,bits,CRUbase,variable) ! type=2,bits=8,CRUbase=joystick address/2,variable=bit value)

Using this command you could read the CRU bits from the Input/Output chip and use the values.

 

Here is an example that reads all the CRU lines of the Keyboard and shows them working:

100 DISPLAY AT(1,1)ERASE ALL:"THIS PROGRAM CHECKS FOR	 UNUSUAL KEYS BEING PRESSED, EVEN IF MORE THAN FOUR KEYS ARE BEING PRESSED AT ONCE"
110 CALL IO(2,16,3,A,B) :: IF A=18 AND B=255 THEN 110 ELSE CALL HPUT(24,3,RPT$(" ",30),24,24,STR$(A)&" "&STR$(B))
120 IF A=146 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"FUNCTION KEY")ELSE IF B=191 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"CONTROL KEY")ELSE IF B=223 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"SHIFT KEY")
130 IF B=251 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"ENTER KEY")ELSE IF B=253 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"SPACE BAR")ELSE IF B=254 THEN CALL HPUT(24,3,"PLUS/EQUAL KEY")
140 GOTO 110

Would not be hard to modify for reading the joystick ports and using the command. For example you can put more then one CALL IO in one command up to check 10 CRU lines at one time in one command.

 

Here is a video I made of the demo:

[My First Z80 Card for PEB]

Hi !

For who never seen the z80 card for ti99 (like me before of now !!), i post here some picture... ;-D

i'm really curious to test it on my Peb but I am very worried ... I would not break it.

 

I Will Scan the manual in next weeks and will save on my site in download Section where you can be found a lot of other things.

i have tried one a friend had i it just used cpm disks i had through the p box disk drive as far as cpm disks go my collection by now may have deteriored over time
