+hloberg Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I've created a virtual Geneve, (see below post ) anyway, I'm creating some organized hard drives (see attached files) with, mostly, Geneve software staying away ti99 gpl emulation. So far I found most of the Infocom games have a Geneve version, Tetris and that's about it for Geneve only games. Does anyone know of more Geneve only games. I'm not talking about games that run under the TI99 GPL emulator but games that run native or EXEC commands and aren't super fast since they are ports of the TI99. PS: other than games I still need to add C99/FWEB 80 column which I'm working on. PS2: yes, the screen is green when the OS boots. I wanted that retro look.

Nick99 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 There are Tomy Tutor games on WHT in the Geneve folder that runs from MDOS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 There are also some ABASIC games including Global Wars and Barricade (?) Mike Riccio posted I think a MDOS tetris game, and there is also Klaus Gebecke's Tetris game. Seems like I saw another game or two in Clint Pulley's c source package recently.

+hloberg Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 There's not a lot software out there for the Geneve natively. Plus I found that only about 1/2 of the TI99 carts work in GPL and I have yet to get a Window manager to work. (not sure this is a MDOS problem or MAME problem?) Question: I can run some of the carts that GPL don't run using the carts-to-disk files and EXEC. But, the all run far too fast to play. Is there a slow down program?

+eebuckeye Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Years ago I saw a list of Geneve specific software including games from Ron Markus when I bought my system. I think I bought a racing game and something else but have never tried them. I really need to get the Geneva working! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 You can find some Geneve-Software from Webdeck in his topic. Tetris is there, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti99iuc Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Someone of you knows already Darinandrade? Maybe he is here on AA too? Here his YT channle with some cool Geneve Games... but I still not understand if they could play also on a standard Geneve or only Emulated. https://www.youtube.com/user/darinandrade/videos 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Barry Boone translated ten of the Tomy Tutor games for the Geneve many years ago, and I used his method to translate a number of Tomy Pyuuta games for it a few years ago as well (all of the 8K and 16K games, so between Barry's translations and mine, 24 titles exist). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add them then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think he releases any of his games. I doubt that they play on a standard Geneve as removes the throttle and changes frame rate to get faster gameplay.

unhuman Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Dunno why anyone bothers discussing that guy... "I have no incentives to release any of my precious code to the world. when I die my SD card will go in my casket." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I supposed to think about this person? I mean, any kind of verbal utterance in some language has some inherent intention. I somewhat fail to get the meaning of such a statement. Should I be impressed? Adoring? Upset? Intimidated? Submissive? I think I'll pick Ignoring. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can keep his games in his tomb if this is his last wishes, I think that we will able to live without them ? I remember to have contacted him a few years ago, he never took the trouble to answer to my emails. Anyway, be required to speed-up his games to be playable by removing the throttle and changes frame rate of the emulator (on a PC Intel Core i7 970! ) is perplexing to me about his real programming skills... In addition, we have no warranty that they work on a real Geneve. Poor interest. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
