Gazoo Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This is more curiosity than desire. The 8563 used for the Commodore 128's 80 column mode is able to do 16 more-or-less ANSI colors in 16k with 8x8 characters (640x200.) My guess is the VDP's table layout might preclude similar ability? Does the 9938/58 support color in 80 columns? I don't know about the 9938 (I don't think it does), but the F18A allows full color in T40 and T80 modes, as well as sprites and the bitmap layer. You have to enable one of the Enhanced Color Modes though. Color is supported. Gazoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Color is supported. Geneve Menu.jpg Gazoo One distinction before someone claims foul: The V9938/58 text mode only supports 4 colors [text fore/back plus blinking fore/back] natively. Graphics mode 6 [512x212x16 color] is leveraged to emulate an 80-column, 16-color text mode via software. If only there were a true hardware mode for this mode, the OS would not need to do all the heavy-lifting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 << THIS >> is one game I would REALLY like to see converted over to the TI-99/4A for use with the F18A. (It should be possible since it was originally an EGA game on the PC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 For any of you F18A user's who have not yet tried the 80 Column Multiplan on your TI yet, there are some CHEAP Multiplan cartridges available on eBay for only $7.85 each (shipping is included) << HERE >> Once you get the dirt cheap cartridge, you can download the 80 column version for your F18A . Also, since I got an *NEW* copy Multiplan today, I figured I'd scan and share a copy of the REFERENCE CARD and KEYBOARD STRIP for anyone that may be able to use them.

kl99 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I found another 80col program working with F18A: DSRSCAN http://home.arcor.de/system-ninety-nine-user-group/util/index_e.htm http://home.arcor.de/system-ninety-nine-user-group/util/dsrscan_e.pdf http://home.arcor.de/system-ninety-nine-user-group/util/dsrscan.p99 There is one little glitch, you don't see the active Line highlighted, but that's minor to what the information that the program offers you. kl99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I found another 80col program working with F18A: I could not get it to run. I put it in my FIAD directory and of course had to convert it to from TIFILES format, after renaming it to give it a TI name. I've never messed with anything with a "p99 extension before, so I may have messed something up. Could someone please upload a ready-to-run version or tell me how to convert it? Thanks.

kl99 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I had it already on a real floppy disk, either its different to what is online or we have a conversion issue. Try this file (hdx compatible), it's not a zip file (forum doesn't allow attachments without file suffix). DSRSCAN.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Zipped Hdx ready file: DSRSCAN.zip Diskimage: DSRSCAN.dsk Thanks! It worked... with a few quirks. I found my first program that does not get along well with the XB 2.7s cartridge... ... when I press M for module information, I get this most times... ... when I use my TI Editor/Assembler module it works perfectly every time. The listing in << MESSAGE # 130 >> has been updated. Thanks again for the submission, this is a real neat little program. I did notice that the directions are version 0.17 while the program is 0.11, of which there is a 10 year difference, but I did not notice any variations or missing features in my cursory inspection of the program. Does anyone know what they might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 it could be that this version was personally handed via floppy from the Author Harald G. to the former owner of the floppy disks. from reading letters they had lot of correspondence. I also had issues with the XB 2.7 suite module. kl99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well, considering everything that Gazoo packed into that module, the old program probably went into "WTF mode" and gave up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well, considering everything that Gazoo packed into that module, the old program probably went into "WTF mode" and gave up! It's sort of like that. The program you are using is attempting to scan an HSGPL card. The Ubergrom works differently than that. I wouldn't ecpect it to work very well, if at all.
