Does this run on the FlashROM99 or only on FinalGROM99 ?

 

 

you can tell by the file size and name.. in the filename 32k means it requires 32k expansion, 8 on the end means its a 378 bank switch rom.. and the file size needs to be 32k or less to fit in a flashrom.. and it's.. 32kb.. so works on both!  everything that works on a flashrom works on a finalgrom..but not viceversa

I can NOT get tutankham to work without physically unplugging my 32k (i tried first just unplugging the power, did not work) ?

TI with 32k and tipi sidecars (not the in-a-speech-synth version), fg99

initial number of players screen looks fine, garbled next screen.

Is there any command i could run from XB to temporarily kill the 32k, go back to fg99 menu, and then start tutankham with the 32k disabled?

 

Are there any other carts that hate having the 32k attached?

Has a FG99 image been made of PHM3045 (Electrical Engineering: Circuit Analysis I)? I looked in the ZIP file on WHTech & in the list at the beginning of this thread but can't seem to find one. If anyone has it or can make it, would you please add it to this thread? Or better yet, how would I create it myself using the PC99 or MAME files of these carts (two 6KB files)?

 

Thanks~!

Well, I THOUGHT that cartridge worked, as it populates the 2 choices in the FG99 menu with the options CASSETTE PROGRAM and DISKETTE PROGRAM. If I choose cassette, it goes to the tape loading screen, but I don't have the programs on tape. When I choose diskette, it clears the screen, then hangs with the | symbol in the upper left of the screen, without it ever advancing the SMU splash screen which should then go to the list of lessons, as it does in Classic99. Not sure if this is an issue with the cartridge image not working properly on the FG99, or if it just won't work with the nanoPEB. I tried mounting both diskettes in DSK1 but the result is the same. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. It's more an OCD thing with me, not that I'm going to actually go thru this course. Just was hoping to get it working using the FG99 + nanoPEB.

 

I should mention that it isn't locking up/crashing the TI. I can press QUIT and it takes me back to the master title screen. Pressing any key, the options are listed (2 CASSETTE, 3 DISKETTE), but it still won't load the disk when I choose option 3 from the menu.

I spent this past week on my vacation setting up my classic computing space in my garage. In doing so, I've updated my FINAL GROM 99 AID FILES (55 total so far) & am sharing them once again here.

 

As mentioned previously, there is a limit to the size of the files that can be created. In my experience, 146 lines of 38 characters per line appears to be the limit. Due to this, I've only included the following in each file:

* cartridge title
* TI given description
* the Quick Reference Guide
* the blurb from the back of each manual

 

Here is what is included this time around, including updates to some earlier ones (fixed typos) as well as white text on a black background:

After a long time in not using my FinalGrom I fired it up again today and couldn't get Tutankham to work.  Looking back on this thread I see I had this problem before, but now I get a scrambled screen regardless of if my PEB/CF7+ are plugged in or not.  After the PLAYERS? screen it scrambles itself.  Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

 

BTW has someone made an updated rom pack that includes all the roms that have been added since 2017?  I'm lost track of all the new ones.

No, its not just you. I have a similar issue. Since that post back on 6/20/2020 i have replaced the 32k with a sidecar SAMS 1mb.

Still experiencing the same issue.

Would love a version that did not require unplugging my sidecar setup to play.

That cart is unreleased beta software at best. The fact that it works at all is a boon.

Oh I understand finicky protos, but the weird thing is that it used to work and now it doesn't.  I haven't changed a thing with my setup, which is why it has me perplexed.

I have the same issue on my Tiny-99/4Av2 computer. I have to remove the SAMS RAM IC  to make it work (sometimes). Really not practical ! Since I near only use this computer (rarely the real TI-99/4A computer) I don't play anymore with Tutankham, saddly. I hope that one day someone who has good skill in disassembling and ASM programming will find a solution.
