Gary from OPA

We all heard about the Apple Vision Pro. Well our good old TI VDP Guru Karl himself has written a great technical writeup about it. https://kguttag.com/2024/03/01/apple-vision-pros-optics-blurrier-lower-contrast-than-meta-quest-3/ Some good reading there. For those newcomers here Karl is the amazing engineer that greatly helped in producing our TMS9918 and later on the TMS9995 before moving onto the 320 and 340 series of DSP chips with TI.

Well, here we are I am now officially 55 years old. 10 REM * Happy Birthday! * 20 CALL CLEAR 30 PRINT "Hello World!" 40 PRINT "Cheers, GaryOPA" 50 CALL SAY("TEXAS INSTRUMENTS") 55 END I'm looking forward to having another wonderful 55 years, so I can be 6 again (110 in binary).

Maybe a early beta test release. Or the later control data version. Make a disk image of them and then we can compare to the current known ones.

Some more info: 1.1) Colours Taken from mess/vidhrdrw/tms9928a.c in MESS, by Raphael Nabet. The first 3 columns are taken from the TI datasheet (in volts). The next 3 columns are based on this formula: Y = .299*R + .587*G + .114*B (NTSC) The coefficients are likely to be slightly different with PAL. I assumed the "zero" for R-Y and B-Y was 0.47V. The last 3 coeffs are the 8-bit values.

Meanwhile, in my neck of the woods this meme is correct...

Thanks for that.

Sorry about that. Maybe a moderator can remove the attachment. I put the direct url to your site. I can't edit the post in this forum.

led candles with pic making the leds flicker like a flame and a sensor to detect your breath when you blowing them out.

I want to see candles and cakes when I logon in a hour to the weekly ti99 zoom call in honor of my 55th birthday tomorrow...

Check out this neat program by @Tursi called Convert9918 it does wonders to match the color set on the 9918. http://www.harmlesslion.com/software/convert9918/

Going thru all my archives of information, I came across this CD-ROM from TI and thought it would be best to archive it and share it here, for those that might have a board using the powerful TMS320C80 MVP chips! Sadly, its from the era of 1994 so it no longer works in today's Windows. I don't have a virtual machine setup yet with older windows to test it, and see what info it offers. But thought it would be best to share it. MVP_ONLINE_REFERENCE.zip MVP_ONLINE_REFERENCE.ISO

Only 37 usd for shipping. But yeah not worth it for me with the 51 cad in shipping or I will try. It ended at 13.50 usd plus of course shipping

So far with 15 minutes left, a cheap ti99 console. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/156192985890

We just had like 6 coronal mass ejections from that sunspot AR3664. We're getting auroras for the important parts of America (and probably most of Europe). So, go outside tonight for a once in 170 year treat!

It does separate anything and there no channels like a sound chip all it does is play the mono waveform in PCM format out, you can see more on how it works in the Covox wiki link I put in the first post.

That's nice. Can you check your original floppy and upload a image of it to this thread. I am curious if it's v1.03 source I released or a later one that I didn't archive. And PDF of the included paperwork would be cool to add to this thread as well.

🚨BREAKING🚨: For the first time ever, Olive Garden is doing an in-resturaunt promotion in partnership with an upcoming movie release! The first one in the restaurant's entire history is for the Garfield Movie, coming to theaters May 24th! https://m.olivegarden.com/specials/garfield-movie Oh'well, too bad there is no more Olive Garden in Canada, would have been a great way to celebrate my 1 year of freedom in Canada, as Gary is in fact is originally a short form of Garfield and my dad was named Garfield so he always loved the comic strip and I love pasta!

Thanks I will send you a private message with my address and info tomorrow so we can figure out shipping costs and go from there.
