Shift838 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Not sure on your version as it's probably the Pro version. I use the Community 2019 version. If MAME is written in C# or VB .NET there should be an option 'Class Library (.NET Standard)' for both VB and C#. Unless you have the complete source with a Visual Studio project file. If so you can do a 'open project or solution' and browse to the project file and open it and it should load it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think I once tried it but failed, and then people recommended to go for the VS path. Of course, every tool requires some time to get familiar with; my problem is just that I never used VS and would now have to dig deep into it to learn how to compile MAME. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polyex Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Running mame .217. Does anyone know if the Ti IDE stuff working correctly? I can't seem to boot any disks. These are images that boot fine under another emulator. Disk does not show up in the selection for booting (just get basic as an option). I set ioport to peb, slot 3 is tifdc (TI-99 Standard DSSD Floppy Controller) with a 525 DD disk drive tifdc:0 with and image in it. No luck. I am a little new to using floppy disks with a Ti-994/a so may be missing something obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only TI basic and whatever cartridge software you have loaded. Try loading Disk manager or Extended Basic cartridges. 2: what size disks are they? if they aren't 90 or 180k files, the TI disk controller can't read them. It's SS/SD or DS/SD only.. if you have 360k or greater disks I suggest the HFDC or corcomp controller as they can do those formats. 3: how are you accessing the disks? from ti basic you'd need to either type in a catalog program OR just OLD FILENAME to load a file off the disk.. those are pretty much your options from TI BASIC.. there's a nice small catalog program in the disk controller manual you can type in.. it's also posted about 4 times here in the group if you search more details!

Greg Ok, I am confused. In the Windows TI99 classic99 , I select Scott Adams adventure disk image, it is 90K. I then restart the machine, no cart and Adventure is selectable (see pic) and I can boot the game by selecting it. I am trying to do the same thing in Mame, same disk image and it does not show up as an option. Is classic99 doing something special that Mame is not?

I think if you look under cartridge you are running Scott Adams adventure cart.. you'll need to do the same in MAME If you are not running that cartridge, then you are running extended basic and a grom loader off that disk.. either way. you still are running a cartridge. pull down that cartridge menu and see what's checked.. It looks very much like classic99 has some special patch of adventure that's patched to show the filenames and attaches a disk to DSK1 that has all of the original games on it.

I am using Mame .225 DOES NOT WORK: ./mame225 ti99_4a -cart all_carts/buckrog.zip Fatal error: Device TI-99 cartridge load failed: Invalid image DOES WORK: ./mame225 ti99_4a -cart TI99_MAME_MESS_Software_Pack_V3.1_by_TMOP/ti99_4a/SSS_Games/\[GAME\]\ Buck\ Rogers\ -\ Planet\ of\ Zoom\ \(1983\)\(Sega\ Enterprises\)\[PHM\ 3226\].rpk Game comes up and plays fine with the .rpk. Is there some other command line option for playing carts from http://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/MAME/all_carts.zip vs .rpk format ones?

For example: exbas25 Extended Basic v2.5 can exbas25 be changed and still load somehow or it has to be 'exbas25.zip' ?

+mizapf Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Concerning the issues with the parallel use of IDE and HFDC, mind that the "hardN" switches have no path specification. That is, they are assigned in order of initialization of the peripheral cards. The IDE defines one hard disk connector and picks hard1; then the HFDC gets hard2, hard3, hard4 (on h1, h2, h3). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
