  1. Oh hell no! just look at the keyboard your typing on right now, its about the same size. thicker about 3 or 4 inches, I wish i had mine out so that i can give you specs, but just to give you an idea. And no its not even close to being the size of the of the 5200
  2. sorry my bad, tired as hell from moving! I don't drink but i go play pacman, get drunk off the crappy noises and graphics. waca waca waca
  3. didn't know that either. Can anyone break the code and tell us what it says?????
  4. hi I noticed with the ntsc version the ghosts just frezze and shake, then they go back to moving around. Don't know much about super pacman, are they suppose to do that or....
  5. No, that's seriously wrong. In fact I don't know of any game that was 36k... but maybe I'm wrong here. Anyway, I know of many games for the TI that were only 8K (for instance the Romox games), and many that were 16K (most of the Atarisoft ones). As for homebrews... well, that depends on what exactly you would consider a "homebrew". If you mean homebrew CARTRIDGES (Command Modules in TI slang), then you may be right. But TI offered some possibilities to program their machine. If you had the console only, you could only program in BASIC (and save your creations on tape, if you had the optional tape adapter). If you bought the minimemory module or the rather pricey expansion box with the 32K expansion, you could also write games in Assembler. And there were several small companies who sold disk-based games for the TI-99. For instance, I have @APESOFT's "Cerberus". Now the question is if you could consider this a homebrew since, of course, you could consider @APESOFT a company... but I'm not sure if it was. If you count games programmed in BASIC or EXTENDED BASIC as homebrews, then I'm sure there are literally thousands or millions of them... I have personally written about 100 programs for the TI-99 in EXTENDED BASIC. And by the way, even professional companies did some "hacks". If you listen to the sounds of Atarisoft's TI-99 version of "Protector" closely, they will strangely remind you of those of TI's own "Tombstone City", whose source code was released on the pack-in disks for their "Editor/Assembler" module, which you needed to write machine language programs for the expanded TI-99. hey man. ok i found somestuff here, I also just picked one uo at the flea market for 5 bucks on e game all the wires and the original controllers. http://www.old-computers.com/museum/comput...?st=1&c=236

Another question....is there anything I should check before I power this baby up?????? Check inside, look over the motherboard. stuff like that.

  19. Yars revenge. thats all it really needs. i got bored. and besides i hate a game without a title. Yar_rev.bin
  20. up up down down left right left right B A aaahhh crap wrong system, lol
  21. Tempest you hit the nail on the head!!! early this year i had won a 7800 console by its self. Nobody bid on it. i paid only a few bucks. plus i think ten dollars for shipping. from Ontario. I got the slip to pick it up, when i got home, it was all smashed like it was dropped or something, well i have to say when i emailed them back and asked about it this was my responce... "LOL.....Your problem" It wasn't the fact that i got such a disrepectful repley, it was the fact that i got it in pieces. and no bubble wrap. moraL OF THE STORY, check for feedback, always important, and stay off evilbay and always go to C.T.C.W. when i have time i'll show a pic of the desecrated 7800. but all was not lost the mother board still works and is in a pal machine
  22. look at th botom of the machine on serial sticker if there is one it should say pal or ntsc, that or someone switched mother boards
