AWESOME! I can't wait to dig into it and see what is what. The nanoPEB had a bit of a learning curve to it as I am sure the FG does as well. But, I like learning new things. Keeps boredom away...

YES!! One of my favorite e-mail notifications is .. Your order has shipped! So in the spirit of excitement and anticipation, when my FinalGrom99 arrives with the pre-loaded sd card from Greg, what awesome Carts are on that SD card? I can't wait to find out. Is it easy to add other cartridges that may not be pre-loaded? ( I am looking at you, XB GEM ) I can't wait....

I got it to work! Modem type "Userport" baud rate 2400. Worked like a charm.

If i am not mistaken, CFMGR requires 32k expansion. But the nanoPEB will still function just fine without the 32K, it just won't load CFMGR at boot up. Some one with more experience will chime in, I am sure. EDIT: (duh, I forgot the nano HAS 32k built in...)

Yep! All fixed. Thanks guys. You never cease to amaze me. Geniuses....

Awesome! I will try it out when I get home from work.

Well, I just ordered a FinalGrom, I aint sure if the "stimulus check" had anything to do with that decision..I would of done it anyway. My credit card company LOVES me. lol.

..and I appreciate you guys helping me learn all this stuff. I try not to bother you with my petty problems, but once in a while I need to reach out and ask. Thanks!

Can you elaborate on that, I don't know why anything would be DSDD ( double sided double density? ) I have never had a real disk drive. I have only used emulation, and my nanoPEB on the real thing.

Yes sir, XBSCROLL was one I got from here, I think it was from INSANE, or SOMETIMES, one of the regulars, it is at the bottom of the catalog listing. That gives me I/O Error 02

A hand holding walkthrough with colorful pictures please? How do I do this, and was it because I went from a chromebook to the pc to transfer the files?

These are all on a compact flash, nanoPEB. I have no idea why they are 360k, or even what that means.

...AND DON'T LAUGH AT MY STUPID PROGRAMS Lol............oh boy....

Ok, here is the file. Mostly the ones at the bottom of the catalog list give the error. Won't load at all. THETEST.dsk

Some programs I "borrowed" from you guys here, to look at the code and figure out your wizardry, some typed in from magazines or books, some are my own concoctions..either way. some load just fine, some give the error...only on the real iron, they work fine in emulation. Let me find the thumbdrive...I will attach the file..

Promise not to laugh....

Will .dsk files created on js99er run on the Real Iron? I use js99er on my chromebook and I have a .dsk that I have been saving my stupid little program experiments on for the past few months. I got the bright idea of transferring the .dsk file to a thumbdrive > to my pc > to the compact flash for the nano using Ti99DIR. Only half the programs work on the real iron. They ALL work on js99er just fine, and also on Classic99 just fine. Why would only "some" of the programs work and not others? They are all just regular Extended Basic short snippits of things I was experimenting with. They show up when I do a "Catalog" of the .dsk, but they refuse to load with a OLD DSK#.PROGRAM NAME Some do, others give me a error message. I/O Error 02.

I just placed my order with ArcadeShopper. I am looking forward to this! No more constantly switching out carts. Save the wear and tear on the cartridge port. As long as it runs RXB and or XB2.7 or GEM when it is finished, I will be more than happy!

I have a question. Does the FinalGrom negate the need for a nanoPEB or can they both be used at the same time? Do they get along with each other?

no luck.

So...I reached out to commodore4ever on facebook. I can't figure out how to get this to work. Maybe he will know if it is possible.

Will this work with a Nano PEB as well? ( I have both a CF7 and a Nano, I have never tried TML with the Nano)

I don't think it has been released yet. I think this was testing for "XB *GEM*" that Senior Falcon has been working on.

Yes I have the modern version of CCGMS and yes the computer locked up. I had it set per the instruction video on you tube Modem type 9600 up and baud rate 9600. I am thinking maybe those setting work for regular wi-fi adaptations but not for using a cell phone as a source. I guess I will experiment a bit and see if I can get it to work. I was hoping someone has done this before and had a tried and true method. I guess I will be the first..lol. See what happens. And just to clarify..I have no idea what I am doing...This is all new to me.
