v9t9 Roms

[pjduplooy]

Anyone know where I can get the cc_mgbank1.bin and cc_mgbank2.bin Corcomp disk DSR roms for v9t9? (Or for that matter, a full rom set.  I need the Corcomp, and Pcode)

Do you need the raw .bin files? I can burn you a full set of EPROMs for the CorComp.

Hi atrax27407

 

I presume it is raw.  See attached for what I need

I believe you need the files to use with v9t9, is that what your after? Someone else may git them for you first, but I will look through my stuff and find them, I have them somewhere.

Here you go, @pjduplooy, had to look a bit, the computer I used to use a lot, had the hard drive pulled and data moved. But I found it on v9t9 on my wife's computer.

cc_mgbank1.bin cc_mgbank2.bin pcode_g0.bin pcode_r0.bin pcode_r1.bin

Hmm! The original DSR dumps for the CorComp Miller's Graphics Disk Controller are both 8K in length and are spec'ed to fit on a 2764 EPROM in the device but the ones uploaded above are 16K in length. There is a one byte difference code in the cc_mgbank1. bin file above and the original version of bank1 but it is identical to one that "The Great Gazoo" did for me over 20 years ago that eliminated access to DSK4. The files are otherwise identical to the original DSR dumps through the first 8K (1FFF) of the originals. I wonder why the V9T9 dumps need to be twice as big as the originals? What is the contained in the extra 8K at the end of each of the V9T9 files? That also brings into question the P-Code material.

Atrax has brought to the front that the corcomp bin's are faulty, so caveat, try in the emulator, on disk images, that you have made copies of. That way if they do corrupt the disk image, you will still have a good copy. Or wait for better copies to be posted.

Here are the direct DSR dumps for the CorComp FDC. The originals are cc_bank1 and cc_bank2. The MG variants are cc_mgbank1 and cc_mgbank2 and cc_mgbank1_knerr removes access to DSK4 (for those of you with a RAMdisk as DSK4). 

cc_bank1.bin cc_bank2.bin cc_mgbank1.bin cc_mgbank1_knerr.bin cc_mgbank2.bin

I just duped the two mg eproms for the cc disk controller and renamed them to what v9t9 was expecting and they seemed to read and write to v9t9 disk images fine. They will catalog a pc99 disk image(at least the one I tried), but error out on running any programs from that disk image. Atrax's images should be the same.

Do you use the Java version or the dos version?

 

There are some parameters to use if you have video output errors (play around with the --client JWT)

 

 

@echo off

set VMARGS=-Xmx256M -Dlog4j.configuration="jar:file:%~dp0%/v9t9j.jar!/log4j.properties"

rem set VMARGS=%VMARGS% -Dlog4j.configuration="jar:file:%~dp0%/v9t9j.jar!/debug.properties"

java -version
if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
    @echo Java not installed.  Please install it and try again.
    pause
    start http://java.com
) else (
    rem apparently Win7 does not like this format anymore... 
    rem java %VMARGS% -jar "%~dp0%\v9t9j.jar" %*
    
    java %VMARGS% -jar "%~dp0%\v9t9j.jar" --client SWT
    pause
)

 

Note there is a hidden feature, if you right click with your mouse on the TI title-screen, you get the options below.

I cannot remember exactly, but Ed mentioned that the rs232pio.bin had to be used,

a long time ago I think I used it to print to a printer, like TIPrint app or maybe print

to PDF format (so that it looks like a listing).

You can also run the DOS version in windows Dosbox, the dos version had nice tools

 (as it had a tool to dump the roms of the TI-99/4A and also dump a module with the module extender)

 

and a tool I used a lot called Transfer

(but now I have better methods to transfer between PC and TI).

 

Here are all the TI emulators I used (takes a while to setup) and the latest of Michael Zapf he made it so much easier to install all TIs (TI99/2, /8, Geneve9640).
