rkindig Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This is the fifth and final installment in a series of episodes on the TI-99/4A home computer. This episode will cover TI-99 ads, user groups and shows, emulation, buying one today, community, and Web sites. My very special co-hosts for this episode are again two well-known figures in the TI-99 community: Chris Schneider, who produces the SHIFT838 newsletter and Rich Polivka, who manages the popular 99er.net Web site. They provide a ton of information about the amazing TI-994/A home computer. I hope you enjoy this. http://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-56-ti99-emulation-web-sites-with-chris-schneider-and-rich-polivka Randy Kindig Host Floppy Days floppydays.com 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Since running emulators on the OS X came up several times, I'll just say, I've run Classic99 using Wine on the Mac. There were just a few artifacts with the menus. Classic99 works very well on Ubuntu linux with Wine, except for the clipboard/paste features. That can probably be fixed by messing with Wine more deeply than I bothered to. V9T9 is also a JVM/Java based emulator so it just worked on linux and OS X. And of course MESS/MAME can be had for OS X as well. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then create a binary image and just uploaded it to js99er.net and run it. It works amazingly well. Prior to xdt99, I had been running Win994A on Ubuntu via Wine. Works perfectly and allows me to lug around my MacBook and hack ASM during lunch at work. -Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
