I remember having this! There must be another box of TI99 bits in my parents loft somewhere as this wasn't with the bits I did find....

Many thanks! I presume these are from US releases as I still have some carts & boxes/instructions (UK versions) & the instructions manuals that I've checked (A-Mazing / The Attack) are different. (Much less info on the UK ones and a different front image).

He's done a great job of the scans & getting the games to work! (Never thought I'd be playing Santa & The Goblins again!). He had some of mine (most in the pic above) so Mania is there as well - hopefully won't be too long before the full scanned copy goes up

So Mania is Adventuremania II then? (Pic near top right) I remember getting my copy from a bootsale back in the day.

This thread? http://atariage.com/forums/topic/158724-raising-atlantis/?hl=%20raising%20%20atlantis Looking at the images on there, it is the same game. It's basically a sort of port from the speccy game - Scuba Dive.

It should be basic

* Update * The command on Santa - SEA - this searches the current location. This will let you find other objects which don't show up on the screen. eg - Found a lamp on the starting screen. - So TAKMAG - Takes the magic lamp

Works with Classic99 and the CALLFILES(0) statement first. Brings back memories Made a partial map so far - managed to get upstairs, but got stuck in the dragons lair! (Every way you go it 'Blasts flames at you'). I remember their being other objects to find, but so far there's only been pies... Has anyone found anything else yet?

Many thanks PM sent.

Ok, still not had much luck so far. What I've done though is upload the files I've ripped so far, incase anyone else has any luck. The following games: Wargame (good to test as we know this works). Santa & The Goblins Lionel & The Ladders (UK) Roady Toad Taxi Each wav has several versions : Original rip (just as it is). Cleaned up. Amp'd Up (Using the cleaned up wav, some compression & eq). Amp'd Up2 (Using the amp'd up wav & pushing it way into the 'red). Link (This will last for 2 weeks) : http://we.tl/szqErMRmP5 If anyone has any luck & can convert them to .dsk files, please upload them for everyone to enjoy Cheers.

Just tried - the mono version I did didn't, but the stereo one did (it played it back slower than usual). Will do some more tests with some stereo files instead Cheers.

Hi, Had a quick go just now - got as far as starting the tape playing so you can hear the sound & getting the OLD CS1 to listen, but after about 20 secs it just says "No Data Found" - as though it can't hear the data coming in. (Adding the wav file to the Tape 1 bit in the file menu, rewinding the tape etc & playing after hitting Enter after Old cs1). I've tried amping it right up, normal volume, but so far nothing is getting it to read. Did I miss something?? I've not tinkered with a Dsk controller yet - just wanted to see if it would load up. I've also added around 6 seconds of space at the start as before, it was starting to play a good few seconds into it.

It's mainly items on the pic I posted. There are a couple of other tapes - and some carts. I'm sure there is another box of bits as haven't found the tape deck / joystick, so might be a few other tapes - I know I had both mania & adventure mania, but only found one so far. There won't be a lot more though, aside from things typed in from home computing weekly & recorded to tape. I mainly tinkered myself making stuff - nothing too fancy - mainly using extended basic making 'collision detection' style games. One was based on Starfleet (old puppet style 80s tv show) - you had to fly the ship across the screen avoiding everything else. Made a few like that. If these conversions work on the proper games, will see if I can dig those tapes out.

That's basically what I've done - recorded a few wav files, removed the background noise, eq'd them a bit & uploaded them. PM'd a couple of people the links. Got the Wargame one back - see above. When I get a chance, will get the other games uploaded that aren't in the gamesbase - I've noticed some are (Crazy Caver / Hunchback / Cars & Carcasses II), so won't bother recording those ones. I do have the TI still, but didn't find the tape deck - just the machine, some carts, speech synth & a large PSU

Ahhh, so a virtual disc - ok - when I next get a day off, I'll give all that a try Cheers.

Many thanks for all the info - I did see 'Floppy Disc' mentioned - I haven't had one of those in a pc for many years, so if I need one of those to do this, I may have to send the files to someone else. Someone has PM'd me, so will see how they get on. Anyway, once everything has been converted I'll get them uploaded

The main ones I have (Tapes anyway) are the ones I took a pic of, so don't think I had any that would have been on that auction. I did find a load of other tapes - possibly with some games from Home Computing Weekly on them, but they may have been taped over with other stuff over the years. Also got a few bits (if they haven't been taped over) or some bits I made in extended basic - nothing fancy, but if someone can show me how this tape/MESS conversion thing works, might try to convert those as well.

- I've used Mame (for many years) and have lots of other emulators for old systems I've had over the years (Atari 2600, speccy, C64, Amiga, Nes etc). Never heard of MESS though. Is this part of the gamebase program, or the Classic99 emulator?

Do you have a link to the auctions?

Wargame is a good strategy game. Player 1 Keys : W, E, R, S, D, Z, X To Move. Q To Fire Player 2 U, I, O, J, K, N, M, < To Move Y To Fire. Depending on the terrain you're on will affect how far you can move per turn & how far/well you can fire. Used to spend hours playing this one. Cheers to Mizapf for converting that one. If anyone can tell me what this MESS is and how you use it, I'll give it a go this end - as long as it can all be done on the PC. The TI hardware is all packed away.

I've recorded 3 files so far to test (Wav - stereo & mono files of each) - if anyone is able to convert them to something which will load in the Gamebase, please let me know & I'll PM you the files. So far I've recorded : Roady Toad (frogger) Draughts (Flip to frogger - not sure if by the same author, or if it's something else that was recorded on the tape - I think it's the same author). Wargame If these all work out ok, I'll record the others. Cheers.

I should be able to clean up any recordings - audio tinkering is one of my 'things' The TI I had only ever had a cassette deck, and only other main bits of hardware I had were a speech synthesizer & Ext Basic (as well as several game carts). The game carts seem to be on the gamesbase, so was more interested in getting these games available. If it looks like this is possible & people have the necessary tools/hardware to tinker with the wav recordings, I'll happily upload them once I've recorded them. I did notice my Santa & The Goblins tape looks different to images I've found online - it was bought in a shop, so hoping it's not a copy!

Hi there, Found this site & another last week & installed the gamesbase that was kindly uploaded. Some good memories came back from the old games I used to play as a kid, but there were some missing. I've just found these in my parents loft - on tape - wondered if anyone on here knows how to convert these to use within the gamesbase? I should have a tape deck in order to record the tapes to the pc and save as wav files, but not sure where to go from there. Games I didn't find on the database which I have: Lionel & The Ladders (UK version). Santa & The Goblins (Intrigue). Wargame (Made by someone in Harlow I believe - remember going to their house to buy it ). Roady Toad (Made by my then local ice cream man!). Also got a few others, but these may already been in the database. If anyone has a way to convert, then I'll dig out my tape deck and get them recorded. (Presuming the tapes still work after all these years!). Image Attached. Thanks.
