    I believe Ooeygui V 3.5 works on MAME V224 and below. Ooeygui 4.0 is for V225 and above (remember the Horizon emulation is broken in V225 and V226). The difference between V3.5 and 4.0 is that the Python code must be loaded separately into the folder holding MAME and Ooeygui in 3.5 but Python and Ooeygui are combined in 4.0. Also, Ooeygui 4.0 is designed only for MAME V225 and above according to the author. I am using Ooeygui 3.5 and MAME V224 since I use the Horizon emulation and it works fine - no problems at all.

     

    I'm using the .rpk cartridge versions and .dsk for disks

    i just tried the correct version of mame 0.210. still does exactly the same thing. im using ooeygui 3.0. i cant seem to find 3.5

    MAME does not use the "bin" cartridges but either the RPK or ZIP files. Never unzip a cartridge ZIP file (apart from the all_carts.zip, which contains all ZIP cartridges). We have them all on WHTech, https://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/MAME

     

      

    mame ti99_4a -cart blasto

     

     

    (no .rpk, no .zip, no .bin in the command line)

     

    Put the ZIP cartridges in your roms subdirectory.

     

    Disks will only work when you attach the hardware. You must plug in the Peripheral Expansion Box into the I/O port, and a disk controller (e.g. DDCC-1) into one slot.

     

      

    mame ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot8 ddcc1 -flop1 somefloppyimage.dsk

     

    mame doesnt start when i try zip files. ive attached the disk hardware but this still wont work, sorry

     

    QWindowsNativeFileDialogBase::onSelectionChange (QUrl("file:///C:/mame0212b/roms/alienadd.zip")) 1
    Fatal error: Device TI-99 cartridge load failed: Invalid image

     

    ive tried multiple carts in this instance, also

    Use the latest version of MAME it has all the latest features and bug fixes mame version 37 is ancient.

     

    Mess and MAME were combined into one program a few years ago so if you're running mess it's probably very old as far as development is concerned.

     

    Conveniently for you the active developer is in this forum and I'm sure he will chime in as well but I'll give you some hints.

     

    One if you're using disk images the ti disk controller can only handle 90k and 180k sssd and dssd images that's because that controller can only handle that size disks in real life. If your disk images are larger than that then you should use a controller that supports those formats such as the Corcomp, Myarc or my favorite the Myarc HFDC.

     

    There's a front end being made for MAME by one of the forum members here shift838. It's in current development that I expect him to release it any day he probably will be happy to let you try a beta copy if you ask

     

     

    Posting details will get you a lot more help than "it just don't work" for instance you could have told us which disk controller you were using and what the size of the disk images are etc..

     

    Greg

     

     

     

     

     

    im using 90k and 180k disks. the new version of mame and ooeygui does a similar thing. the carts dont work and the disk directories are not available in mame. it does boot if nothing is attached though. it looks like there is a driver or something that is needed as running mame on its own doesnt show disk directories.

    DEMO-S is actually DEMO-S.txt

    The .txt tells you this is a windows format file; not a TI format file. (although I don't think it's required, I always append .txt to a windows format file)

    You can open this with a text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++ or whatever you prefer. You can make changes and when done save the revised file.

    Classic99 must be configured so it can read and write windows format files. Here is how I have set it up for DSK1.

     

    C99setup.JPG.7ba4cb3371e8aeebf31642e0b7e83e95.JPG

     

    Now to assemble. Load the assembler (Not the editor-you don't need that!!!)

     

    ASSEMBLER.JPG.2be9077b74e6f6a28e7fe3785263a731.JPG

    And that should assemble properly for you.

    The DEMO-S is a relic from using the TI editor asssembler package where I used DEMO-S for source code and DEMO-O for object code. If I were redoing this I'd get rid of the -S and -O and make it simply DEMO.TXT and DEMO.OBJ

    ty, got it working

    You need to provide more information if you want help. "Paste" makes me think you are using Classic99. In any case, the assembler reads from disk and writes to disk. How are you "pasting them into the assembler?" A detailed description of what you are doing would be helpful and maybe some screen shots.

    Let's start with the basics. Have you ever successfully written, assembled, loaded and run an assembly language program?

    yeah i have but not on a ti99. im pasting from notepad with the paste function in the edit menu in classic99 into the assemblers editor. and im trying to get demo-s that comes with playground to work.

    Which editor are you using?

    ive tried both ti writer and the editor assembler, ti writer just hangs when u run the assembler and editor assembler just comes up with loads of (different) errors. (multiple symbols and invalid mnemotic)

    I see no point whatsoever in creating Playground programs for yourself. To create them, you already have every piece of hardware needed to not need the Playground programs. You create them for other people, to run them on unexpanded consoles. But that auditorium is pretty small today.

     

    I've used my complete TI 99/4A to create programs that could run on computers with just Extended BASIC, 32 K RAM and casssette player. But that was back then, when there were no eumulators and not all people had everything.

    its handy if u have an emulator and u want to run things on an unexpanded machine

    TI Writer will append tabs to the D/V80 file which will likely cause errors to be generated by the assembler. Try another text editor.

    ok, im using editor/assembler but still having problems. its saying 'multiple symbols' and just scrolling with loads of numbers and 'invalid mnemotic'

    You're 137 posts in to a three year old thread... to get some help, maybe be a little more specific about which code you are working with and which assembler you were trying to use. :)

     

    im working with the ti writer/assembler. and im trying to get demo.s from playground to run

    having problems with this. ive tried copy and pasting the code into the assembler but it wont assemble, it just crashes. ive tried 2 different assemblers. i know a bit about machine code and have used assemblers for other systems. the instructions arent very good either. ive also tried some of the wav files but they wont load. are there any disk images, etc of these progs? any suggs?
