HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I think some of the images for "flashrom 99" were converted in a way that requires the 32K. Not sure why, maybe they were originally on GROM... ...maybe an example of an image you can't run would be more illuminating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're sure the DEFENDER image won't run w/o 32K, but will run with 32K? That seems odd... are you using a "QI" or V2.2 console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Curiously, I don't see pitfall, minesweeper, as being original TI modules! Not in TOSEC anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It would read V 2.2, on the lower line of the TI TITLE SCREEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, that FlashROM 99, does work with the QI! The 1981 doesn't really prove it's not a QI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 DEFENDER, uses a simple 8K ROM. Seems like it should run. I am befogged... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I've compared your upload vs. the original .bin... These don't seem to touch the 32K's addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "lockout" and "QI" are disparate issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
