FDOS Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hmmm. I see phm3035C.BIN and phm3035G.BIN in the tools folder, but I am not seeing TEII in the FG99 menu. I've tried moving these to their own folder at the root of the flash card, and the folder is empty in the FG99 menu I do see Terminal Emulator (one) in the menu structure. Does it have a label that's something other than 'Terminal Emulator II'? Thanks! I just went back and checked again. Both TE I & TE II are in the TOOLS folder, and both load quickly and work. PHM3035C,BIN + PHM3035G.BIN constitute the Terminal Emulator II module. I also verified the FinalGROM99.ZIP included those two files, and the image-list.txt file is dated 2017-07-10.

Thanks for responding. I agree. I see those files in the zip file and on my flash card. It's just not loading in the menu in FG99 for me.

FDOS Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would like to know how to convert GramKracker module files to FinalGROM99 format. Is there a documented procedure to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 If anyone can convert EA5 files to a format accepted with FR99 here's Lunar Mission in it's latest updated state. I won't be updating for a good while now, other projects are on the horizon lunarmission.zip attached.. Greg Lunar8.bin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would like to know how to convert GramKracker module files to FinalGROM99 format. Is there a documented procedure to do this? strip any header, rename the rom files to C D etc.. concatenate the Grom files under G file and put file in directory? you'd think there'd be instructions in v9t9 Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not loading in the menu in FG99 for me. how many items are in the folder you have them in? If it's a big number, consider moving some there's a limit to the menu read the finalgrom99 webpage (google it if you dont have it bookmarked) the limit is listed there Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 FlashROM 99 limit is 171 files on SD, in the root directory. FinalGROM 99 I don´t know about limit (but maybe there is because of the TI´s menu), and it supports subdirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinalGROM 99 I don´t know about limit (but maybe there is because of the TI´s menu), and it supports subdirs Each folder, including the root folder, may contain up to 171 images or folders. (Strictly speaking, it is 171 entries and folders, as one image can have more than one entry.) my google-fu is stronger than yours Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixsevenco Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think i have a problem. I've reformatted my SD card (fat 32), I created a folder called TOOLS and placed both PHM3035C,BIN and PHM3035G.BIN in that folder. The FG99 LED would blink 4 times when I would startup. I didn't look up that error code, but I guessed it was to indicate "no files found". I then created a GAMES folder and loaded Donkey Kong and Dig Dug. FG would load and I would see the GAMES and TOOLS folders, but TOOLS is empty... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Thank you for helping. I have copied PHM3035C.BIN, PHM3035G.BIN, PHM3112C.BIN, and PHM3112G.BIN to the root of my SD card. There are no other files or folders on the card. I got the files from http://ftp.whtech.com. When I start up, I only see Parsec in the FG99 menu. Edited March 13, 2018 by sixsevenco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Here's Donkey Kong with unlimited lives. The change in one of the 8K binaries is two bytes. Again removing subtraction from remaining lives. This time a DEC *R1 instruction is replaced with a NOP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 wow coool. Is it for FlashROM 99 too ? (and how about the other "unlimited´s" ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 He has to find the part of the code in each module that decrements the lives and set it to "0" instead of "1" which is a bit of a hunt sometimes. . .so this can be a slow, but fruitful process. I'm glad for the three Sometimes has already done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Depending upon what kind of hacks you want, there are some color and graphics changes for games like Car Wars and TI Invaders floating around the forum, as well. Here's a link to the Car Wars hack. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/214377- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'll update the list when I get a chance to verify them all later today or tomorrow. It might be worth noting that a name change needs to occur. I had to rename the CNN/Parsec to get it to run, I did not test CarWars under the original name, but I changed it to 'carwarsg' and it worked fine, but I'm not having any luck with two part Donkey Kong game. How do I get it to run correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDOS Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) strip any header, rename the rom files to C D etc.. concatenate the Grom files under G file and put file in directory? you'd think there'd be instructions in v9t9 Greg I'll give it a try, but this brings up another question? I'm mostly dealing with GramKracker GRAM/GROM files, so many are over 5 files long, as they often include ROM/RAM files for XB or SuperCart/SuperSpace (2 or 4 files of 8K each). In the case of XB+EA, they're the first 2 files, but I don't know about the others. Any idea as how to convert and concatenate them to FG99? Are you referring to an AtariAge V9T9 topic?

Omega-TI Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hopefully Donkey Kong works on both FlashROM and FinalGROM. Let me know if there are problems. I'm unable to get Donkey Kong to run on my FinalGROM. Does it need to be renamed to something special? Did you test it on R.I. and it's just me having a problem?

Did you test it on R.I. and it's just me having a problem? I already had my system up, so i tested it out- it works just fine on my real-iron TI and FG99 cart. You do have to use the 'left' joystick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
