very much so, all the devices from that manufacturer require a REGULATED 5v external supply

I don't really think the video is better.. ymmv i have a sid in my 4a I have 1mb of ram in my 4a

I have two lmk if you need one.. they are kinda fragile in the gears area

Radio Shack was one of my regular stops whenever I went to the mall in 1000 oaks I'd be in there looking at all the cool stuff i couldn't afford.. later buying parts and components a lot.. always in the battery club too.. my first box of floppy disks were super expensive radio shack ones.. Still probably have those somewhere.. now I collect radio shack stuff, still looking for an intact robby

I'll check

You can check it for cold solder joints but other than that if it's a common cart they aren't worth the effort.. I have pretty much all the common carts here for cheap in my store if you need something that's missing lmk and i'll add it

I'm not recommending it, I'm suggesting it as a test. Imho if you have malfunctions when you add more stuff either it's power OR bad connections/shorts/bad hardware Greg

It may be related to power.. perhaps the vr in the fg99 is not getting enough to properly operate. it has a 3v regulator as the chips on the board are 3v not 5v like the console.. it could be that when you put enough load on the sideport it just isn't enough with your power supply.. There is a way to remove a line on the power supply to 'up the output' which is documented in a add-on for the keyboard interface from Whtech: Next, remove the console power supply and locate the jumpers labeled W1 throught W4 (near the switch) . These are the voltage trimming strap. Cut ALL FOUR straps to trim the voltage to the new load. One or more straps may already be cut.

Basic? Extended Basic? EA?

sent to you

I had it on disk bitd didn't buy a lot of carts after i got a gk and then mostly searched for loadable ea5 versions of the games so I didn't even need to load in the gk

no it just loads and saves whatever type of file you are opening so if you want to load a WAV you have to convert it to a disk tifiles file first also if you map CS1 to a filename that doesn't exist, it is created when you save to it

I sell new cables of various lengths and setups.. and dual drive kits for pbox

FAQ has a lot of these answers - floppy drive needs a disk controller.. or a TIPI - finalGrom99 can't be storage but it can be a minimemory cart (4k!) which is limited but how a lot of people learned assembly ultimate set up is the console, a fg99, SAMS1mb sidecar and TIPI sidecar board stack.. and a rasp pi for storage/network connection via TIPI I stock these at arcadeshopper.com - Can new OS GROMs be created and used on finalGROM? - created yes, used no.. FG only does cart roms.. it doesn't have the circuitry to override the console GROMS, there were products to do this, the GramKracker for one..but its limited to 80k of RAM/GRAM vs uber is 1mb there's a grom replacement project here: Lots of good info here on the console and groms; https://www.unige.ch/medecine/nouspikel/ti99/titechpages.htm https://archive.org/details/tibook_ti994a-intern https://archive.org/details/tibook_the-orphan-chronicles

Sure do, I also have the connector to plug the ss in AFTER the 32k..

Yeah sounds like something is up with your SS

just to be sure, test the 32k without the speech but on ext

There's a jumper or switch on your 32K that should be set to EXT. When it is powered externally? Is that set that way? Ready to get out

I can yes

C64 > ti-99/4a without expansion TI99/4a with expansion > C64 the biggest thing the 64 had going for it is a larger customer base = developer interest

Yes.. commodore designed theirs badly.. that doesn't mean everyone else did.. TI supplys either work or they don't work and give you 0v The only issues I've seen are the fuses blow in the pigtails, and they can be replaced with some soldering, or just remove the pigtail and plug into a fused/circuit protected circuit like say..a power strip with a circuit breaker. And the internal supplies get overwhelmed and need repair at times but they fail to 0v.. so no issues with damage Greg

that smells like interference.. verify the monitor is grounded to the same ground as your system.. (ie plugged into the same strip/etc) also may be filter caps on the monitor going south
