Kiwi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Yes. I went into Cartridge -> User and pick that ROM. And it's not showing up on the list that's right after the start screen. Minesweeper I have showed up and booted. Edited March 10, 2018 by Kiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minesweeper I have showed up and booted. Maybe because the binary isn't rounded to 8192 bytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minesweeper I have showed up and booted. I've managed to show in Classic99 the cartridge name, rename game_6000.bin to gamec.bin, gamed.bin or gameg.bin but it crashes on pressing 2 to run cartridge. sorry, not a lot of experience there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Got it. I used Hexedit to add zeros to blow up the filesize to 8KB exactly. I changed the game name to 8 letters, game6000. But didn't work. Then I changed it to GAMEC.bin, and it boots. Now off to play it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I checked Canfield Solitaire. The file name is a bit different but not 8KB. Canfield.C.bin It did boot. I renamed your non 8KB game. game.C.bin to test it out and it boots. I'm also new to TI-99 4/a computer.

Opry99er Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 So yes, you needn't use a pad on Classic99... the naming conventions are what it seeks... Often games that I try to play won't load up unless I put an "8" at the end of the name (due to the 378 logic). Love your game, Nanochess! Did you enjoy writing in TMS9900 assembler?

Opry99er Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Rasmus!!! I love this game! Excellent replay value here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I love solitaire, but I don't think I've ever played this variation before. I've got a new game to learn now I suppose. I love the pointer hand. Nice work lucien!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I added a cartridge version of my game to the submission thread if anyone would rather play it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Edit: Didn't knew but Classic99 requires the GROM to be rounded to 8K with zeroes. Not sure if allowed by the rules to upload a 8K image. Looks like there was a little confusion here, but I think you got it sorted? Just to be clear though: -Classic99 does NOT require padding of files. -To use User->Open to open a cartridge (instead of creating a detailed entry by hand in Classic99.ini), the file must contain the necessary metadata in the filename to identify what it is. Using (and extending) the standard set by V9T9 back in the mid-90's, this is the last letter of the filename followed by ".BIN". The most common extensions Classic99 knows are: C.BIN - CPU cartridge memory, up to 8k G.BIN - GROM cartridge memory, up to 40k 8.BIN - bank-switched cartridge from 16k to 32MB, banks stored non-inverted 9.BIN - bank-switched cartridge from 16k to 32MB, banks stored inverted Sorry for the confusion. Gonna go try these entries now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinphaltimus Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Do we know how many we are expecting? I kind of want to reserve some time to play test all of these in a single session so I'm sitting on them until they are all in. I suppose by the deadline is a good thing to wait for. I kind of have my own scoring table and will score each title accordingly then add them at the end to see where my vote(s) go. Thoroughly impressed so far with what I've seen. Congrats to you all. I couldn't set aside the time required to participate at this moment, maybe next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at the end it was so easy (figurative, I have 35 years programming) that I was wondering why didn't started years ago Although helped me the fact it looks a lot like Intellivision assembler (also 16 bits) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Very glad to have you as a TI programmer now. TI assembly programmers are a valued resource... and youre now a member of that crew!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I know of two more in the works but there are potentially more. My entry should be ready by end of next week. I'm familiarizing myself with sound production in assembly and let me tell you that it is a royal pain in the ass... I think at some point in the future I'm going to write a utility to automatically convert CALL SOUND values into the byte strings needed by the sound generator which I could copy and paste into my programs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 One question, now that I think about it, should the submission thread have gone into the non-development forum? Or maybe just the voting thread when that comes up? I know there are a few people who don't look in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the voting thread should go in the parent forum as soon as voting opens and have a link to the submissions thread from there. Just my 2 cents. I'm going to wait until the deadline before playing anything. These all look awesome and I can see myself dedicating an afternoon to it.

+OLD CS1 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Once all the submissions are complete and the voting begins I could move it to the general forum. A sort-of lock-in, "pencils down" scenario for the voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
