polyex Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Anyone have success running any cart images from Mame? Do you have a link to those images? Everyone I have and tried just gives me a message saying that it's an invalid image and an internal error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hello, if you want, follow this link, over the tutorial for the installation and configuration of MAME, scrolling the page at the bottom you will also find the software needed http://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pageid=homepage&artid=196 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cart images are on our server https://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/MAME/ MAME uses zip cartridge format and RPK cartridge format, but no bin format. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hloberg Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 from: https://ti99resources.wordpress.com/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o1qAQWlrSlkmIsx3ISe0Oz-8kUetuusI/view download the link. it's everything you need to get MAME running with TI-99 including the batch files to attach to cartridges. just add MAME. also check out the section in software under MAME which has links to MAME and some tutorials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrissom Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I am enjoying using Mame on Raspberry PI 4. I run my system using scripts. It's pretty slick. Is there a comprehensive document that shows command line information? I've been using the supplied scripts as templates, however, I want to know more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polyex Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I figured out you need to add the speech module by adding a PEB first and then add the speech module to the PEB. Edited October 6, 2020 by polyex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell am I doing wrong? It must be something simple but I can't figure it out. I have the peb connected, the TI disk controller and 3 drives...but it simply gives me a error I/O Error 6 I have it set up. ioport> PEB ioport peb slot 2> speech ioport peb slot 3> tifdc ioport peb slot tifdc:0 > 525 dd ioport peb slot tifdc:1 > 525 dd ioport peb slot tifdc:2 > 525 dd What am I doing wrong?

+mizapf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The older MESS 0.140 is, I can say, another piece of software compared to the current MAME 0.225. The only advice I can give you is to upgrade to the recent release. For instance, none of the path specifications will work on MESS 0.140.

Yes, but this is a newer release version that I set up with the instructions and downloads from http://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pageid=148&artid=196#.X4niCI7Yrrd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This is a DSDD disk, and you tried to read it with a TI FDC. Please use another controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in each "slot"? I am sorry about these questions, I am so confused. I just don't know what I am doing...learning is fun and frustrating.

+mizapf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 No, it's just a choice - as with your real TI and PEB. Use HFDC or BwG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
