Christmas Season & Making New Cartridges

[Omega-TI]

Christmas Season Poll

 

1) Lot's of new games and cartridge images have been made this year.

2) Many more games and compilations seem to be on the way.

3) One future game appears too big for disk so the full version will only be on cartridge.

4) At least one application is slated for cartridge revision (to give it more memory/utility).

 

Please, whether or not you have a EEPROM programmer, or whether or not you ever plan on getting one, let's figure out where the community sits on this... this may be the season for TI Cartridges! Let's find out!

I don't have a burner and not getting one this year but maybe in the future

Hope they don't mind the plug, but Jim (Ksarul) and Greg (ArcadeShop) have been my go-to cart guys. Never had and don't plan on getting an EEPROM burner. Don't mind paying a little extra to have them and the cartridges made up.

 

BTW: besides XB Suite, the multi-game carts and utility/edutainment carts, what else has been released game wise recently? Be nice if there was a sticky for the confirmed new releases.

 

Last I saw, Alex Kidd is near completion and hasn't been released yet? Would like that when it's done.

Nothing wrong with a good plug now and then! I've gotten a cartridge or two from both Greg and Jim. In fact I'm waiting to hear back from Jim when he has his next batch ready.

 

You can << CLICK HERE >> and look for the little flashing to see the recent .BIN's.

Jet Set Willy was recent (cart). Jetpac (TF) and Jedi Gauntlet (TIB) are both close to release. Dice Crash (XB) JUST came out a few days ago...

 

A multitude of others

[Iwantgames:)]

Dice Crash is awesome. Jetpac looks awesome but I need turbo forth. And Jedi and Alex are both gonna be sweet when done

 

Oh and you forgot Bouncy which is awesome too

Requiring an answer to question #2 when question #1 is 'yes' does not make sense!

makes sense for me, as I have one, and get a spare one on XMas

Hmm, I thought it did. Since this is about the "Christmas Season & Making NEW Cartridges, I figured I'd see who's going to get one under their Christmas tree this year. Hence the question:

 

If you answered "No" to question #1, do you plan to get one for Christmas this year?

 

This way Jim can get an idea on how many more cartridges he's gonna have to make too. It looks like seven of us are going to need one if not more cartridges and possibly nine people... so far.

Your question makes sense; but, the poll requires an answer to all questions to post the vote—Catch 22.

Yeah... blame THAT on Atari Age! It's the main reason I always add 'Other' or 'N/A' to my polls.

[adam242]

Just getting into TI. One of the reasons is the relative ease of burning my own carts... Looking to pick up a burner in early 2016 and add to my modest collection...

 

First on my list, Extended BASIC so I can learn programming (and play Dice Crash on real hardware)

[Opry99er]

Welcome to the community, adam.

Download Classic99 and download the Extended BASIC manual. Learn to program now!

Adam,

You'll love the Extended BASIC 2.7s cartridge by the late Gazoo. Not only will you have Extended BASIC in the cart, but the Editor/Assembler and so much more too. It's the best cartridge I've ever seen... I doubt that cartridge will be topped for quite some time... if ever.

[+Ksarul]

One note: you definitely need one of the UberGROM boards to program an Extended BASIC cartridge, as you need a board that supports both GROM and ROM for it. It uses both.
