Michael Rittweger Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi, everybody! Just curious: Is there any thread where new users say "hello" to this community? Well, not to the community, but for the TI99 part of it? I just don't want to jump in into threads without introducing myself...

I already got a lot of good memories within the last few years. I hazzled a bit around with v9t9 and some other emulators, but the real win was MESS integrated within MAME. Well, MAME I have already used since 0.26 or so. So now I not only was able to play classics like asteroids, missile command et al, but deal a bit with my beloved TI99 again. Actually I am setting up an environment consisting MAME, xdt99 and some other tools to build something a bit like an IDE for Assembler. Italian? I planned vacation (like the last 5 years) with my girlfriend for two weeks at Forio (Ischia), but the actual situation cancelled our flight to Naples. And that should have taken place at May 12th - Yep, next Tuesday. Right now this weekend I should have been busy preparing the luggage. Well, we'll see where I will participate in the threads. Right now I'm a bit exhausted reading (and I mean: reading) through the 2 mammoth threads dealing with assembler and RXB, both with 42 pages. It was just weird now and then when I almost had a finger at "reply" and had to realize that those posts were up until 10 years old. But it was very interesting to get a feeling about some of the characters... Michael 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Rittweger Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hmmm... *lookspuzzled* I might still be known to one or another, at least in Germany, perhaps. But on the other hand I didn't expect to be recognized within one or two hours after my first postings after 30 to 35 years inactivity from the TI99. So thanks for the welcome! ?

Michael Ich war fast zehn Jahre in Deutschland stationiert (in Kaiserslautern, aber auch in mehrere User Gruppen dabei: K'Town 99ers, TI Club Errorfree, Rexsoft, East Anglia 99ers, und auch die TIGG)--dadurch kannte ich damals fast alle aktive TI Leute in Deutschland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim it’s too bad we’ve never met in person, as I live only 80 kilometres away from Kaiserlautern (moved to Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in 1996, but now living near Ludwigshafen since 2006). So were the K’Town 99ers a local Kaiserslautern TI club? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolhess Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi Michael, Wolfgang from Bruchköbel (near Frankfurt am Main) warmly welcomes you. I was also busy with other things for almost 35 years and returned to my TI hobby in late 2017. This forum is a real treasure trove and there is always something new in terms of hardware and software for the TI. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So were the K’Town 99ers a local Kaiserslautern TI club? There were actually two local groups in the Kaiserslautern area, @retroclouds. The K'Town 99ers were an American group, made up of military folks from Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl, Stuttgart, and Wiesbaden. There was also a German group with folks from the Saarbrücken, Landstuhl, Kaiserslautern, and Sembach area. I was part of both groups. It is definitely unfortunate that we never met in person--but that too shall eventually happen if the stars align right. I do plan to try to make it to another TI Treff to meet up with my old frinds again, I just don't know when that will happen yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolyschaf Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Morning all, a new user here (born in the UK, living in Austria for many years). I too was looking for a new user thread and this is the best the search facility could render, so howdy y'all. Just got my 2x Atari 2600 Juniors dusted off and been enjoying them again with my 10 year old. Just ordered a Harmony cartridge thanks to this forum, which is utterly superb. After a tip off from my buddy, I use 'The Arcade' joysticks, great stuff. Cheers, dolyschaf P.S. Es ist auch schön, viele Deutsch sprechende Menschen hier zu sehen!
