Tempest Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have a quick question for user of both the FinalGrom and the CF7+. Whenever I turn on my TI99 with both the FG and CF7 plugged in I have to push the reset button to get the boot screen to come up. I think this has something to do with timing as the last firmware for the FG was supposed to add a start up delay to make this problem go away. As of version 1.3 I'm still having the issue. Is there a workaround for this other than to hit the reset button after booting? It's not a huge deal, but I wonder if it could cause other issues. EDIT: I'm using an F18A as well.

+Schmitzi Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Wasn´t there something with the timing of the F18A-initialization ? Leads me to the question is it a CF7 or a NanoPEB Vx ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty old. One of the first units I think. 17 minutes ago, Schmitzi said: Wasn´t there something with the timing of the F18A-initialization ? Oh I am using a F18A as well, so maybe that's it?

+arcadeshopper Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Oh I am using a F18A as well, so maybe that's it?Yes the older units definitely have a problem with the f18a they both are trying to use the same VDP memory locations at the same time during startupSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Does the peb have the same timing issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The peripheral expansion box has no timing issuesThe nanopebs and cf7s made in the last few years are patched to work correctly with the f18aSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make them, but ArcadeShopper appears out at the moment. There is another outfit called the Brewing Academy << HERE >> that looks like they could set you up.
