    Thanks for the info! I’m really excited to get back to FORTRAN- it has been a long time.  I would like to try some programs in different languages to gauge size and speed of the compiled program.  I’ve got a bit of a learning curve ahead!

    Sorry if this was asked before, how does the speed of the compiled program compare to other languages like c99 or xb(compiled)? 

     

    (Edit) I’m not asking about a specific program on this thread, just in general, how does FORTRAN compare to the other commonly used languages in speed?  I knew there was FORTRAN for the TI but I didn’t realize how complete it was.

    I quite enjoy reading ninerpedia.  I seem to find myself consulting there and mainbyte and Thierry’s page frequently.  And whtech as well.  Thanks to everyone who maintains those and all the other sites devoted to our hobby.

    Acknow;edged second reply

    Thanks! Unfortunately, when the program runs from minimem or minimem+ it is just gibberish flowing on the screen.  Believe it or not that is progress.  If I run from XB (there is a LOAD file in the disk image), the program starts but says a Supercart is required and to start from E/A option 5 with filename DSK1.LEATHGODDS.  There is no option 5 in minimem, so I used load and run.  I also tried run.

     

    Sorry Weird, i didn't see your second reply before posting.  That explains my result.  Thanks for your efforts!

    I guess I don't know what I'm looking for in the FG.  I've got the latest image loaded from whtech.  I've looked through the dev folder and I don't see a Supercart choice on either page. Ditto in the tools folder. What should I be looking for?

    Help!  I am trying to copy a DSK image that I downloaded from WHtech.  I am using TIdir.  When I copy the file from the hard drive to the CF, I choose a volume number and hit copy.  The progress bar progresses but when it is done the volume label is blank and there is nothing showing in that volume.  What am I doing wrong? I got one volume done after several tries (I don't know what was different about that effort), but no joy since.

    The 99/5c computer demonstrated at the Chicago Faire this past weekend has an integrated SAMS, 80-cols support via the 9938 VDP with VGA output, SD-based storage and USB mouse, joysticks and keyboard while being 100% compatible with the 99/4A. It's selling at $479.95 (add $30 for a powered case if you need one). Here's the site: https://caddelectronics.com/product/ti-99-5c-bare-metal/

     

    In your situation, purchasing a PEB and SAMS, plus shipping, would get you pretty close to that price point. Something to think about.

    That looks amazing- I really need to make it to the event sometime.  Thanks for the info! I was hoping Fabrice would have his Ti (ny) done, then there is this or stay totally retro-original with the PEB- so many options!

    Welcome!  I would say that that there is a lot of utility in getting a Final Grom.  It greatly reduces wear and tear on the cartridge port and gives access to lots of great programs easily.  Just make sure you don't have a QI version of the console.

    I populated the 2nd prototype PCB of FORTI-2 a week ago.

    I have not made a thread for that yet.

     

     

    Now that we have the answer, what was the question? I'll have to go back and read the books I guess.(bad Douglas Adams reference)   I am really looking forward to the Forti-2.

    Galaga/Galaxian

    Outrun

    Pinball

    Commando

    Side-scrolling brawler (TMNT/Final Fight/Battletoads)

    Metroid/Castlevania style side-scrolling platformer shooter (Though I might want to do something along these lines after Tilda is finished.)

    I don't want you to lose focus on Tilda, but I agree Metroid would be amazing! I'd like to see TImpest also.

    Wow! This is beyond what anyone could have reasonably expected. I mean RXB has been dreaming of something like this, but I can't imagine that anyone thought it would happen. I am really excited!

    Turboforth works from the FinalGrom which is the successor to the Flashrom. I don't have a Flashrom, so I can't help you out there. If it's possible, the regulars here will be very quick to respond! I'm pretty sure you need the 32k expansion as well.
