SOLD: Star Trek TI-99/4A Cartridge Variant (HTF)
sixersfan105 posted a topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Here we have an extremely hard to find cartridge variant of Star Trek for the TI-99/4A. This cartridge is only the second confirmed cart with this label type. There is no date listed on the back, but the working theory is that Triton Products distributed this cartridge type in the 1984-85 timeframe. Triton Products had the rights to manufacture TI cartridges using leftover parts received from TI when they purchased the distribution rights for all remaining TI hardware and software stock. It looks like this run of cartridges was complete with the exception of the labels, so they made the black text on white background label. It is listed on 99er.net as UR for "Unbelievably Rare - A cartridge thought to never have existed, but has been found and proven it does exist." Please send me a PM if you're interested or would like some additional pictures, and we can also discuss pricing. Thanks! SOLD! -
I think that Stuart's new web browser is such a big deal that it deserves it's own thread.

Information can get out-of-date quickly when it comes to 'group buys', like the recent HDX/PCB card purchase by arcadeshopper. BTW - Greg, it's great that guys like you are around to help others upgrade. THANX! Anyway this poll is here to gauge the current status and user percentage of HDX users.

NOTE: an update of OeeyGUI is forthcoming. I'll post v2 when I receive it from Shift838. the BBS software still works, though, if you just want that. Here is the OeeyGUI & Fusion BBS that Shift838 demonstrated at the TI99 fest in Austin. The fusion BBS wasn't on the CDs I handed out. Oeeygui-bbs.zip

Time to start downsizing... I have three cartridges, Pole Position, Moon Patrol and Donkey Kong that come as a trio. Shipping will be USPS flat rate box with bubble wrap. Asking price (shipping included) is $40.00 because shipping prices suck, so my I'm actually taking a loss on what I paid for the cartridges, but I don't need them anymore. This is a photo of the cartridges. P.M. me if interested, price firm. Due to work, the earliest I can ship will be Tuesday afternoon. Paypal only. Update: SOLD

I don't know how much cross-over there is in this TI-99/4a sub-group with the Atari 8-bit home computer sub-forum, but I presume since this forum is hosted in the AtariAge forums that there must be at least a few people who collect for both computers. Right now, I have a six books for books for the TI-99/4a computer. They're the one's in my first TI video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoBjUDMar84 I'm looking to expand the TI books that I have currently in trade for spare Atari books that I have in my personal collection. Is anyone interested in doing trading books with me? If so, then I'd like to use this thread to post the books I have, and others can post the books that they have for trade. If a few people like this idea, then over the next few days I'll make a list of TI books that I want and a list, maybe with pictures, of the Atari books that I have for trade. So... is anyone interested in trading their spare or unwanted TI books with me? Adam P.S. Oh, and if you have no interest in Atari books, then you can always give your spare TI books to me...

I know, I know, I said the last update was the final one. But I came across some manuals I forgot I had. Without further ado: Dig Dug for Intellivision (HTF because it was released late in the Intellivision's life cycle, when INTV Corporation was running the show, largely through mail order) SOLD Missile Command for Atari XE Game System (HTF manual since it was never available at retail; the manual was only included with the purchase of an Atari XE Game System since the game was built-in to the console itself) Moonvasion for TI-99/4A (HTF because Moonbeam Software was an indy game development company and their distribution was not all that impressive) SOLD Please send me a PM with interest and I would be happy to get pics and prices your way. Thanks.

I'm looking for the following seven games from "Compute!'s Creating Arcade Games on the TI-99/4a" by Seth McEvoy: 1) Martian Attack 2) Martian Revenge 3) Riverboat 4) Shark 5) Mushrooms 6) Hobo Party 7) Moneybags Here's the book's cover: A pdf of the book is here: https://archive.org/details/tibook_creating-arcade-games-on-the-ti994a/mode/2up Here's the book's table of contents: I've looked around for these TI BASIC games, but I can't find them. I'd like to try them. I know that they'll be simple, but I'm curious about what this book hopes to teach the reader. Did anyone here use and read this book? Does anyone have some or all of these seven TI BASIC games on tape or disk? Adam

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Chicago TI User Group has decided that the Chicago TI International World Faire will be held online this year, rather than in person. Accordingly, we are now soliciting presentations in video form, to be presented at the virtual Faire. At this time we would like to ascertain what interest this is in the TI community. Anyone who has the desire to produce a video on a TI topic should send a private message to hals12@hotmail.com in the next few days indicating the nature of the presentation, and we will get in touch with you with the details we require. Thanks in advance. -The Faire Committee chicagotiug@sdf.org

p-box Plug & Play - Replacements with possible updates.
Omega-TI posted a topic in TI-99/4A Computers
Mean Time Before Failure - It's starting to look like this is beginning to effect more and more P-Box power supplies. Preemptive Maintenance - Fixing the situation before it destroys something else more expensive with it's failure or, puts one out of service. Plug & Play - Designed so even the least technical people in the consumer market will feel comfortable installing it, ensuring more sales. Limited Targeted Market - Niche markets, usually have test markets or single runs of a moderate size to keep costs down. I'm thinking it may be time for "someone out there" to consider a viable Plug & Play replacement for the P-Box power supply. 1 - Could the cost be reasonable? (How much are you willing to spend for an easy replacement to protect your equipment) 2 - Could it be a direct replacement, not requiring any other modifications from the customer. 3 - Could there be "an extra" on the board as a further inducement to purchase? (Example: USB power port) -
I wrote a version of Uno for the Atari in Atari Microsoft BASIC and posted a few blogs ago. Well, here is Uno in the Kull XBII. Kull XBII is a little known package to TI-99 Extended BASIC. Check an earlier post for more on the KXBII package. One nice thing about KXBII is that it enables multi-color text which I use a lot in the program and it looks really good. Multi-color text is the best feature in KXBII. As I detailed in the earlier post about KXBII is there are a few limitations such as a very limited amount of stack memory. And there is also a weird quirk, if you put text in location x=6, y=9 a little character flickers in the upper right of that character. Odd. Anyway, here you go: uno.zip enjoy HLO update: I forgot to mention the game autoboots of the vdisk. It 1st starts KXBII then starts the game. takes about 15 seconds to start. also included is an instruction manual.

Converted my Atari 800 game Uno card to TI-99. I used the KXBII extensions to create multi-color text. (see earlier blog post for Uno for Atari 800 and KXBII extensions for TI-99/4a). Plays at TI-99 XB speeds, which is to say, fast enough. The multi-color text is part of the KXBII extension package. Works rather well & fast enough and bug free. Only weird glitch is 1/2 character random flicker in one letter (you'll see it) when text being printed. I created a CALL PR(X,Y,TEXT$,fore-color, back-color) SUB-routine for printing to simplify conversion from Atari 800 MSBASIC. attached is a booklet and the .DSK bootable disk game. Enjoy. uno.zip

UPDATE: found the bug in the 99/2. erase the ti99_232.ini in the INI directory fixes the issue with it starting in partial emulation mode. Here is some of the software from the CD1 of the 2 CDs I gave out at the TI99 fest in Austin. I removed the documentation so the file would go over the max file size. also Oeegui will be posted in another post. for those who weren't able to attend the Austin TI99 fest I handed out a 2 CD pack to as many as I had. It contained a disk of lots and lots of TI documentation (disk2) and a disk of all the versions of MAME for the TI (Ti99/4, TI99/2, TI99/8, Geneve, Tomy tutor and more) files to get MAME running with those systems. disk1.zip

Looking to unload my duplicate TI-99/4A cartridges. Most are cartridge-only but I have a good number of manuals, too, and also have four box + tray sets and two additional boxes (without trays), so we can put together complete in box (CIB) sets of your choosing, based on supply of manuals and such, just let me know what you're looking for. Also have some manuals without their corresponding carts that I'd be happy to sell, including manuals for Buck Rogers, Defender, and Zero Zap (modern style), among others. Note that Atarisoft carts are listed separately below the "first party" TI cart list. A-MAZE-ING (beige cart, red label) A-MAZE-ING (black cart, black label) The Attack (black cart, black label) Blackjack and Poker (black cart, black label) Blasto (black cart, red label) Blasto (black cart, black label) x 2 Car Wars (black cart, black label) x 3 Chisholm Trail (black cart, black label) x 2 Congo Bongo (beige cart, red label) Home Financial Decisions (black cart, black label) Home Financial Decisions (black cart, purple label) Jawbreaker II (beige cart, red label) Microsurgeon (beige cart, red label) Moonsweeper (beige cart, red label) Munchman (black cart, red label) x 2 Parsec (black cart, purple label) x 2 Popeye (missing label) Speech Editor (black cart, black label) TI Invaders (black cart, red label) TI Invaders (black cart, black label) Tombstone City (black cart, black label) Video Chess (black cart, black label) x 2 Dig Dug Donkey Kong Pac-Man Picnic Paranoia Shamus I would be happy to provide pictures and prices via PM. The more cartridges you buy, the greater the discount. Guaranteed to be lower than eBay. Also don't hesitate to reach out with interest in manuals, as I mentioned I have several. Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to fetch *all* dates of former meetings, to sort the pics I´ve gathered together. If you know about more dates, please let me know, so I can create empty folders, as a first step. And maybe just have some place here, to post old pictures... or send them to me via PM, and if not wanted to publish here, or if HiRes, just send them to 99er@toxic-instruments.com thx PS: Here are the dates I know about, and wether they were INTernational,REGional, or whatever. Pls see the foldernames. "empty" means, I know the date, but have no pics.

Here we've got a TI-99/4A computer in its original box. Everything has been fully tested and works great, except where noted below. Please see provided pictures for exact condition of all items. Here's everything you get: TI-99/4A original black and silver model with box. All keys work. Fully play-tested with multiple games. Cosmetic issues include some scratches and the brushed aluminum top casing is coming up a bit on the front left side. The original box is worn. Joysticks - A pair of dual original TI joysticks are included but don't recommend using them. One of them is missing the stick part (but fire works!) and the other joystick works, but the "up" direction requires a little extra effort. It'll work in a pinch for one-player games, but I recommend purchasing an Atari joystick adapter ($10-15, my favorite is this one, which is also on eBay for slightly more $. That adapter can also be beautifully paired with this 3D case, if you're so inclined) so that you can use Atari-compatible joysticks of your choosing. Another great option is @RetroGameBoyz's TI gamepad. It works for single player only, or you can buy one of his Atari pads and use them with the aforementioned Atari adapter. The joystick port has been further tested with my personal TI joysticks and everything worked perfectly. Original OEM power supply - works as it should. Lots of manuals - User's Reference Guide, Beginner's Basic, Read this First, Teach Yourself Basic cassette manual, TI joysticks manual, and a TexNet flyer. Keyboard "strips" x 2 which you can write on for keyboard shortcuts (no strip holder, however, but the strips still sit on the computer fairly effectively). Miscellaneous - an untested OEM cassette player cable, in case you opt to get a cassette deck down the road, along with untested Teach Yourself Basic on cassette (two tapes). If you can't tell by now, I don't have a cassette deck/"TI Program Recorder" to test this cassette stuff with. Original OEM RF modulator does not seem to work but it is included for completeness. The good news is that composite monitor cables are readily available on eBay and are better than RF, anyway. I've always had success with Atari monitor cables. I just don't have a spare at the moment. I'm asking $50 plus shipping but I can be flexible if need be. Looking for some TI games, too? I have a bunch of extras. A full list is available here. Shoot me a PM and we can come up with a great discounted deal for you as part of a larger bundle with this computer. Let's put something together for you to get your TI-on!

From the album: pre-MBX
Here are some interesting pics from 1982 that I got from Mike Langieri on the MB Gemini game system. It was a standalone system which eventually became the MBX for the TI. Note Turtle Maze and Baseball carts, which must have become "Terry Turtle's Adventure" and "Championship Baseball". All the programmers I talked with said they programmed these games in 6802 Assembly and then had to convert it to TMS9900 Assembly in 1983 for when the project became the MBX. Enjoy:
