+jedimatt42 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 I no longer own a Geneve, so I cannot provide Geneve specific support for TIPI or TIPI software going forward. Problems should be reproduced on a TI-99/4A before I will comment or assist. You all, the Geneve community members, are of course free to support the Geneve with more verve than I. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 TIPI Update 2.23 - Fix PI-4 support Updates libraries and dependencies. Slow update ( lots of 3rd party upgrades ) - feels like it took more than 30 minutes to apply. Primary purpose is to update the RPi.GPIO python library to recognize PI 4 models. Otherwise, tipiwatchdog.service crashes. This is the service responsible for resetting tipi.service whenever console powerup routines are called. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhodes Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Random power outage in the middle of trying to update ?️?. So when power got back on, TI froze upon selecting TI XB from finalgrom99 and would not let me in. Went in to TI basic, tried Call TIPI, did not work. Shut down TI, plugged in my keyboard and monitor to Pi, logged in, ran ~/tipi/setup.sh ... Said it needed to finish getting a few mb of files, let it go and do its thing... Came back to check a few minutes later, it was asking me what to do about some pre-existing write-protected file (Python crypto something-or-other) it wanted to overwrite; I answered "Y", (which i think should answer 'yes' to any following prompts too?). It finally finished, shut everything down, now CALL TIPI is showing 2.23, just hope i have not borked anything. Loaded some XB games over TIPI, all looks good, proper memory SIZE results etc. Edited April 20, 2021 by jrhodes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Three of my 4 PI's are updated to 2.23 with the quickest one taking about 34 minutes. The last one is over 2.5 hours. Going to leave it running overnight, then may need to troubleshoot if it is stuck and follow the troubleshooting guide above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 TIPI DSR ROM 2021-04-19 has an increased duration for the TipiService reset signal in the ROM power up routine. This should not be needed for 4A users. As usual, the ROM is on my downloads page: https://www.jedimatt42.com/downloads.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Matt, Should users upgrade to V2.23 of the PI software before upgrading to the new eprom on the 4A should they decide to upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 They are independent. As I attempted to express earlier, the Geneve community should feel welcome to mandate their own compatibility matrix. ( Hint: when the matrix only has one row, everybody benefits ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIm Htown Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hi all, apologies if this was answered previously... Can you use a TIPI with an IDE controller on a TI-99/4A and are there any potential issues in doing so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no issues, just do not assign them to the same CRU address. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Data Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Is there anyway to Map TIPI drives to DSK2/3 while having the real iron disk controller be DSK1? Some legacy programs can't seem to go beyond DSK3 and the disk controller seems to take over for DSK2/3 even if it only has a DSK1 which makes it hard to use both on programs with this limitation. I think the answer is no. I did try mapping the CRU address of the TIPI after the disk controller and it didn't seem to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yes just don't map dsk1Also you need to make the cru 1000 if you want to have it intercept dskx requests if dsk1 isn't mapped it will pass the request to the disk controllerSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm seeing an odd behaviour where every time I go into Force command, the TIPI reloads DSK1 with the last path I had loaded, even if I have auto turned off. Strange.

Is there a TIPIMAP command in your AUTOEXEC ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I'm having difficulty getting a game to run from a TIPI directory. It's the newly released Hibernated re-written Infocom game. The LOAD program loads fine from the TIPI directory, but when it comes to launching the game proper from the menu, it keeps insisting on loading from the physical DSK1 even though I have DSK1 pointing to the TIPI game directory and AUTO is on. Here's the LOAD program listing, and the problem seems to lie in line 1000. Changing DSK1 to anything else including the named TIPI directory hangs the computer. Any insight on this by any chance?

+jedimatt42 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) These xb embedded EA5 loaders of old used sector io, which TIPI does not do. This never made sense as there is the much easier direct block read operation they could have used without having to decode the directory structure themselves. Usually you can just skip the xb LOAD program and load the EA5 with any other EA5 loaders. Or use the XB scratchpad loader to replace the SysTex loader... CALL TIPI("DSK1.INF-F18A") will probably just work. Edited June 6, 2021 by jedimatt42 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 http://ftp.whtech.com/Users/Gregory%20McGill/INFOCOMLOADER/We found this issue early in TIPI testing and determined that was the loader as Matt said above here is a loader that works fine.

GDMike Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I've noticed that rag assembler for me starts but locks when loading from tipi. RagasM and RagasN are the two files. I thought I might have a corrupted file so I found other copies unless those are all corrupted too.. ? But it's fine because it would take me almost 10 mins to assemble these files, so I just use classic 99.

I know I've tested TI's Editor Assembler, but I do all my assembly with xdt99... So I've never tried the RAG stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
