Guys, I notice that the boxart for DK VCS says it has the levels from Jumpman Returns in it as a bonus. I'm going mad trying to find them. Are they there?

It seems bizarre that - especially now Xtreem is a decade old and "obsolete" after the release of Elite - there doesn't seem to be any way to get either game without buying a monstrously expensive physical cart (although that may be a moot point as I can't actually find a working link to buy either one in physical format either). Wouldn't they like some money from us emulator players too? And if not, why not just release Xtreem for free as a taster?

Lastly, here are four CTG compilations that between them cover just about anything you could want to play on the TI (except Tutankham, see above). All of them are tested and working on emulator: 1 Meg Supercart 2 Meg Supercart Atarisoft compilation (14 games) Rasmus Moustgaard compilation (8 games) compilations.zip -

Meanwhile, does anyone know what to do with this to get it to run on an emulator? These are the instructions that came with it, but they're all Greek to me and seem to refer mainly to running it on real hardware. "Inside are 4 files to flash to the 2 chips on the UberGrom cartridge board: at49F040.bin : The 8K rom code, filled into all banks of the 512k rom, so no matter what bank your ubergrom starts on, it will find the code. atmega1284p-code.BIN : The ubergrom chip code segment with the groms atmega1284p-config.BIN : The fuse settings for the ubergrom chip atmega1284p-data.BIN : Not actually sure what this is, but there are some bytes in it so flash those... (Oh, this is the portion Gazoo's images called eeprom) If using the MINI-PRO TL866 programmer, there are 3 tabs for the different segments. The atmega files are named to match the name of the segment to load into, either by changing the radio selector when loading the file, or by switching to that tab before picking the File->Load function."

And here's Arcturus and Neverlander as well. (Neverlander has an annoying constant noise, but plays fine.) arcnever.zip -

Okay, here's all the ones I've managed to get working: JetPac Jet Set Willy Knight Lore Mummy's Tomb Night Stalker Red Planet Road Hunter Sabre Wulf Snake Plissken Sparkdrummer's Challenge Rescue At AtariAge (None of the other stuff on the page is in the right 8K-multiple cart format and I can't do anything with it.) Enjoy, and thanks again TIcarts.zip -

Never mind - I got CONVERT running in a command window and I think I'm sorted. Here's JetPac, will upload others when they're done JetPacTI.zip -

Oh, you absolute star. Those do indeed work beautifully. Thank you SO much, you've made an old man very happy (Hey, I don't suppose you fancy doing any of the better games from here as well, do you? I can't get CONVERT to do anything at all now, it just whines about my having an old Windows and crashes, even though it used to at least run. I'll have another bash at it, though.) -

You'd think that, wouldn't you? And yet... -
Yeah, I've had numerous failed attempts myself. Thanks for trying. May try contacting the author.

Yes, those are the ones I already had, but ta. -
The multiplicity of incompatible formats for various TI emus is perplexing me, and I'm having a nightmare trying to convert between them. I know a bunch of games have already been converted to CTG but I particularly want to play a couple that don't seem to have been, namely the homebrew port of Scramble and Flying Shark, and the emulator I'm using is CTG-only. I've tried using CONVERT-CTG but it's incredibly flaky (it hates older versions of Windows and I'm on 7), and I've had no luck with those titles. Has anyone written a vaguely user-friendly convert tool, or just converted those games already? Any help much appreciated.

Apologies for reviving this old thread again, but is there any way of converting any of the files here (DSK, BIN or RPK) to the CTG format used in the Retropie TI emulator? I'm a huge Scramble fan and I'd absolutely love to be able to play this great port on my Pi.
