What did you think of the clear keys from the guys that make the case? I did not order them as I think the clear case with the original keys looks cooler

What? The Fed says inflation is less than 2%!

Could someone walk me through the steps of putting a spacebar on a IIe? I am confused as to the metal bar, do you thread it through the holes in the black tabs in the space bar first, then try to put the spacebar in (seems too easy to drop the metal bar into the case, difficult to snap it in place), or do you snap the metal bar into the keyboard then try to thread it through the holes in the black tabs (can't see anything)?

What sort of printer do you use? Do you use the printer much? I have an ImageWriter gifted to me in a box but I have not hooked it up yet. I do remember liking to print code on continuous paper and draw lines with color markers to get a birds eye view of what was going on in the code, something I do not think I can do with a modern printer.

Partially because I see other boards on here for other computers showing off, and partially because I really love my new clear case and want to show it off too... Reply with your setups! Right now running with A2Heaven FastChip //e , Mega Audio and a CFFA 3000, new ReactiveMicro power supply. The monitor is a prison monitor (clear) that I found on eBay. I wish it had speakers built in, but alas only a headphone jack. The Disk Drive you see under the laptop is actually hooked to the laptop via USB for Applesauce.

If you are getting a clear case for your IIe , I assume you got the notice that it is delayed. I recently purchased a prison monitor to use with it (it's clear too). But my Kensington System Saver fan is not. I was thinking about trying to do a 3D replica of the fan as having the beige one attached might look out of place with a clear case. Anyone ever try to print 3D Clear?

Is there a way from the Basic prompt in DOS 3.3 to see the default loading address of a particular binary file? If not, how would you have done that back in the day? Hex editor?

Is your KEEP BBS named after the book/movie The Keep from 1983 as well or is that coincidence?

I added the ti carts to the rom path. Works now as you describe. Paths are separated with a semicolon.

Confused about something the rom images (all carts) that arcadeshopper refered to for me vs .rpk files. I am using Mame .225 DOES NOT WORK: ./mame225 ti99_4a -cart all_carts/buckrog.zip Fatal error: Device TI-99 cartridge load failed: Invalid image DOES WORK: ./mame225 ti99_4a -cart TI99_MAME_MESS_Software_Pack_V3.1_by_TMOP/ti99_4a/SSS_Games/\[GAME\]\ Buck\ Rogers\ -\ Planet\ of\ Zoom\ \(1983\)\(Sega\ Enterprises\)\[PHM\ 3226\].rpk Game comes up and plays fine with the .rpk. Is there some other command line option for playing carts from http://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/MAME/all_carts.zip vs .rpk format ones?

You must be right about having the cart in there. I can't get it do it again without a cart.

Ok, I am confused. In the Windows TI99 classic99 , I select Scott Adams adventure disk image, it is 90K. I then restart the machine, no cart and Adventure is selectable (see pic) and I can boot the game by selecting it. I am trying to do the same thing in Mame, same disk image and it does not show up as an option. Is classic99 doing something special that Mame is not?

Running mame .217. Does anyone know if the Ti IDE stuff working correctly? I can't seem to boot any disks. These are images that boot fine under another emulator. Disk does not show up in the selection for booting (just get basic as an option). I set ioport to peb, slot 3 is tifdc (TI-99 Standard DSSD Floppy Controller) with a 525 DD disk drive tifdc:0 with and image in it. No luck. I am a little new to using floppy disks with a Ti-994/a so may be missing something obvious.

I figured out you need to add the speech module by adding a PEB first and then add the speech module to the PEB.

Those cart images worked great. Grazie.

If they can do it for David Crosby...Can’t they put you on a liver transplant list? Some local kids a few years ago went shrooming and ruined their livers , they ended up getting transplants. Best of luck.

I am new to 6502, but I *think* this will do what you want. VCS_Modded.bin

Anyone have success running any cart images from Mame? Do you have a link to those images? Everyone I have and tried just gives me a message saying that it's an invalid image and an internal error.

I thought politics was a no no on this site.

In 2004, I had released game for MacOS X and wanted to send a copy to every Apple newsgroup to raffle. Apple gave me a large list, so they were still around in 2004.

I forgot some stuff. I threw away a boxed copy of The Bilestoad, Sherwood Forest, Star Maze and Lucifer's Realm among other titles with the Apple II. I helped a friend throw a PDP-11/40 processor and random terminals into a dumpster. This does not really count, but I passed on an Apple Lisa in a thrift store 25+ years ago because they wanted $35 and would not take $30.

Ashamed to say I tossed an Apple IIe with 2 Disk II drives into the TRASH. I also donated a NeXTStation Color Turbo and monitor in the to Goodwill. This was in the 1990's. I was trying to set an example for my hoarding girlfriend at the time.

I have seen many classic computers ruined with streaking and blotchy retrobrite jobs. Not to mention it makes the plastic brittle. Most are quickly put up for sale on ebay. I would just leave it alone.

This is kind of a technical question, so perhaps a programmer can shed some light. Why is the scrolling on the Colecovision so jerky? Zaxxon jumps to mind, but there are other examples too. It's like the background is moving too many pixels at a time. It's pretty far from the smooth look of the arcade and even other platforms.
