firebottle #476 Posted January 1, 2021 I've been checking out some this cool stuff you're posting, and was wondering about TI Runner from last year's August issue. Is that really the original levels from back in the day? Man, are they hard! You'd think it would start out with a few easy levels to get used to the game, like Star Runner.

sparkdrummer #477 Posted January 1, 2021 I would have to check the dsks I uploaded but I’m pretty sure that was indeed the original game data file. Do you have an editor/ assembler cartridge to run df/80 files? If so I can help you out by uploading a TI-Runner cheat file. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured out how to run the cheat program already... it makes the escape ladder appear a few seconds into a level. Looking at the TI Runner Editor documentation, it seems the file TI Runner is looking for is called "LEVEL28". Using TIDir, I exported this file and another file called "ORIGINAL" which I'll assume is the original levels for the game. Checked them with a hashing program and they are different! So I renamed ORIGINAL to LEVEL28 and put it back on the disk. Ran TI Runner and the beginning level now looks the same as Star Runner's. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firebottle #479 Posted January 1, 2021 I also hash-checked the other files with the same size, and none of those matched the LEVEL28 file you put on the disk. So it must be some unique custom set of levels. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firebottle #482 Posted January 3, 2021 Hmmm... looks like TIDir appends the filename to the beginning of the file when you export it from disk? So hash checking files in Windows wouldn't work anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airshack #485 Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks for another great newsletter! I really enjoy the disk of the month's convenient menus and fun game selections. Wondering how you made the main menu's red disk-man logo? I found part of the Eunice Spooner TI LOGO video here: Also noticed the cartoon TI-Man on the last page of this newsletter has his head plugged into his... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
