PLATO / FINALGROM / NANOPEB

[sparkdrummer]

My Nanopebs don’t seem to like the PLATO cart when used off a FinalGROM. A real PLATO cart works just fine. I just get a blue screen when using the FinalGROM version. Anybody else have issues with this?

Nope.. I'll double check this evening

Works just fine for me.  NanoPEB v1 and FinalGROM with the August firmware.  Non-QI unit with F18A.

Maybe I’ve got some funky Plato bin files. Can I convert GK cart saves to .bin?

Thanks Greg! Has anyone here tested PLATO running off of FinalGROM with the disk images on TIPI?

[+arcadeshopper]

no plato uses a nonstandard disk format that won't work at all on TIPI  the disks only have one file in the catalog but there's much more there on the disk than that.. likely sector access which TIPI doesn't support

I just did a couple of tests and on my system if a TIPI is in the p box the Plato cart won't even try to load Plato disks it just hangs up on the disk controller

Correction if you put the TIPI at 1800 cru then it works fine with a real disk in DSK1

Do you know if the TI Plato courseware disks have been integrated into the Plato IRATA Online courses?  If not, can we get them added? Maybe a question for tschak909.

[+arcadeshopper]

Likely they are based on the online ones
