Please create a new topic for this. This sticky thread is dedicated to TI-99/4a development resources in general. Thanks.

Ok, sorry.

Copy with correct value in Table 4.

This one is the cleanest scan I’ve seen as well. Thx!

Maybe is interesting, i think the Macro Assembler AS is a great tool.

I compiled the source for win and mac without trouble. 

The assembler support a huge set of cpu, also the tms.

I compiled and linked for the Tomy Tutor without a problem.

This is a graphic tool specific for V9938

 

https://github.com/bferguson3/msx2tools

 

It supports tile modes, bitmap modes and multicolor sprites

I downloaded it but I have no idea how to run it... can I run it on my Imac or Win10 computers?

The example pictures look promising I must say.

 

Edit. I solved it, I found the exe files for win10. 👍

Github is not my favourite site...

Minor change to the XB Notepad++ user-defined language file.  The problem of GOSUB being interpreted as the head of a folding SUB/SUBEND section, I made a quick peruse of the Npp manual and moved SUB and SUBEND to the "folding in code style 2" which requires separators around the keywords.

Not sure whether I posted this before, but here is R. A. Green’s GPL Manual (for his GPL Assembler) that I edited to make it easier to use (at least for me):

I asked to put my REA TI Basic EA support installed into GROM of TI Basic and that was back in 2018????

This thread is sure in need for an update.

I have some holiday days coming up. I’ll see that I’ll update the thread with the collected documents/packages.

 

Updating the thread is not a joy, due to the big amount of links it contains it has a certain complexity and it’s not a task I look forward doing. I’d rather spent my free time on doing TI stuff. Having said that, if there’s any volunteer wanting to take over that task in the future, I’m more than happy to let go.

 

Could imagine having some web tool where the package authors can make their own updates and generate the content out of that automatically. Then only have to put the generated code in the thread and are ready to go.

I was thinking about this. 
 

I came up with it his idea:

 

Use git to store markdown for each entry.  (GitLab.com or GitHub.com) Authors can edit their own entry. (Commit or require Pull request.) Anytime, the maintainer can easily edit one entry.  

 

Use py script to stitch it together for AA post. Py script embeds the headers and order of things.

 

An Alternate Py script produces HTML pages for use elsewhere. 

Since it is a FAQ not a wiki, the entries are brief. there is at most a short description and links to the package or more documentation. (Or a thread.) authors mustn’t create a big entry, and keep to style. 

help!

@Albert:

Problem: how do we paste the formatted FAQ  back into the top post? what input formats does AtariAge editor accept? Does it need to be in some kind of rich text on the clipboard?

Posting rich text would probably work well, depending on the complexity of the formatting.  Can you show me some examples of what you want to do?
