ti99iuc Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I found today on one of my older back up USB memory sticks a complete set of high quality PDF scans of the manuals for all the official cartridges released by TI.. WOW they are very very nice ! Thank you just is important to mention that they are Manuals from the Cyc DVD that it is not for free distribution as I understand it.... for this i am doing re-scanning all manuals in 300dpi for use on my website. I might have misunderstood or perhaps these directives have changed and I would save a lot of time if this material may be distributed freely.

I might have misunderstood or perhaps these directives have changed and I would save a lot of time if this material may be distributed freely. I thought this might come up These scans were purchased in 1996 from Mike Wright for around $100 (a pretty penny at the time) as a service and delivered on a Zip disk, and I believe I paid for the work quite fairly. They predate the Cyc by many years and did not come with any copyright conditions. They were mine to use as I please. The fact that CADD slapped a copyright statement on the Cyc later on is not applicable to me as I don't own the Cyc (because CADD insists that it be purchased with PC99). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertLM78 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (because CADD insists that it be purchased with PC99). It's too bad about that. PC99 would be cool to check out, but I'm far more interested in the Cyc DVD . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I tried the link stated above to TIgameshelf and can't seem to get it to work.

+Vorticon Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sorry about that guys. Let me look into it tonight. UPDATE: It looks like I had changed the password during the last site maintenance. I have restored the password to TI99/4A as indicated at the top of this thread. Please let me know if you are still having any issues accessing the file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks! Downloaded successfully. There are a few Officially released TI carts missing from there.

+Ksarul Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thinking on this, I also have a lot of the variant manuals--the European ones, the ones used in Quebec (and probably the rest of Canada), and some of the ones from Argentina. At some point, all of these will need to be scanned too. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I made a mistake of adding the dash between TI and 99 the first time I tried to login. Logon failed--but when I typed it in as TI99/4A I was able to get in fine. I just tried again and it let me into the directory when I used the right password. Do you have any blocks set up to stop FTP traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 First, Thank you soooo much Vorticon for updating the password. This is easily one of the best TI related archivess I've ever d/l'ed. (just shy of the ti gameshelf complete software archive, which will probably remain permantly at the #1 spot) Now the request... Does anyone have a 300dpi scan of the Parker Bros' Popeye instruction sheet (or even better, an orginal 'manual' to sell?????). I acquired a boxed cartridge recently, but it did not include a manual. Hate being anal like this, but the package just feels naked without it. If I printed a decent quality scan on 12m glossy, it would somehow seem better than just having the cartridge in the box. (of course a REAL manual would be the full can of spinach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 When I click the link, I immediately get a popup asking for a password--and when I put in TI99/4A, it opens the directory. Do you have popups blocked in your browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
