    Normally you should not go into the mame interface at all, when starting Retrobat (directory C:\Retrobat). in Retrobat you can check missing bios files.

    For the Wireless Controllers issue - there is no error message (I can see them being connected as 1 and 2, but no input, unless I turn them on/off sometimes it works in MAME, I guess a bluetooth / Windows issue and if 2 programs use the controllers (retrobat/emulstation and mame) I am using MAME 256 (but tried earlier versions as well) When using USB (for Joystick controllers) it works fine (as long they are assigned wireless port 1 and 2 of course, means to turn of all other controllers as they dynamically might take port 1 and 2) (it can be configured statically to use port 1 and 2 for the specific controllers I saw)

    My guess is that the C:\RetroBat\roms\ti99 directory is empty ? (no .rpk) (see ti99 directory here): https://ftp.whtech.com/Cartridges/Batocera/Batocera-ti99v2.zip

    (Not working via Retrobat yet to start MAME, not sure if both Retrobat/Emulstation and MAME can use the Bluetooth PS4 Controllers, but all other systems work fine). When using MAME directly it works partially. 3. USB-DB9 Joystick works in MAME64, but a PS4 controller does not work (Via UI Mode, press TAB): * Bluetooth PS4 controller gets detected in MAME under Joystick (number 1 means Joystick 1, if you have more you see Joystick 2) * Often I see all 0 under Device ID * Then I turn off the Bluetooth controller and turned it on, then all is working (you see these values) (this works directly with MAME, but with Retrobat, it remains all 0 and turn on/off the PS4 controller sometimes shows -65536, etc. but does not work)

    Fixed item 1 - Bezel backdrop TI-99/4A Bezel. files are in this zip: TI99-Retrobat-Setup-v3.zip For the Bezels, this is the directory that worked for me (using a TI-99/4A and using MAME)C:\RetroBat\saves\mame\artworkput here genhorizontal.zipand horizont.ini in C:\Retrobat\bios\mame\inihorizont.ini:## CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS#fallback_artwork genhorizontal# Uncomment next line to use this for all gamesoverride_artwork genhorizontThese posts helped:https://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork_generic.php (e.g. download genhorizont.zip)https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/54304-default-mame-bezels/

    when using RetroBat (using MAME) I get a very sharp output (not sure how to find the settings) "ASTRO CUBE". when I start from command line (same MAME) the output is a bit fuzzy. ("BLASTO") (both are full screen, not window, I tried with resolution settings, but could not get the same as Retrobat)

    Why not? Being the the author of the game does not mean automatically having the highest score ! 🙂 😀 you should play!

    Hi Greg / @arcadeshopper Can you help to update the table on the top? TI99ATARIAGECOM-HIGHSCORECOMPETITION.docx Unless someone is still playing very hard on those 45 levels in LIFT? then otherwise tmop69 is the winner (score 67,170) and is up to choose the game for the July 2023 competition!

    https://caddelectronics.com/cadd-pc99-suite-overview-and-installation/ Updated 20190222 (I guess I have the latest PC99 version running, see post above, but if someone has a newer version let me know)

    Last time in 2017 I ordered it (with help of Greg) on the USA local order payment terms, as i could not do it from overseas). Mike and Eric's help was excellent on the installation and updates (not sure if there is a later one, this is what I have below): CaDD Electronics <caddelectronics@comcast.net> The physical component can be a USB Flash drive when ordering from CADD99 Then they will sent also a FTP.PDF file to download an update (if it is not on the USB stick) I run this version CaDD PC99 Suite pc99w TI-99/4A Emulator for Windows (c) CaDD Electronics. 1985-2016 All rights reserved Version 122820161327491 (of the installed PC99, see screenshot at the end) and this is what the FTP document indicates as version: (on Windows 11, 64-bit) Edition Windows 11 Home Single Language Version 22H2 Installed on ‎11/‎20/‎2022 OS build 22621.1848 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22642.1000.0

    Update: TI99-Retrobat-Setup-v2.zip in the logo's directory either delete "mess.svg" (or overwrite it with a Ti-logo mess.svg) otherwise the MESS logo remains. Re issue 4 fix * added the /Retrobat/bios/mame/ini/mame.ini file (UI_Active 1), so that the ESC (Keyboard) works to exit back to Retrobat (or create a mame.ini file using mame -createconfig and copy that into the directory above) Re issue 2 - use MAME64 it is more stable and starts the emulator (Libretro does not start the emulator) Items to sort out: Re issue 3 - when using a USB-Controller everything works and sometimes the Bluetooth connected PS4-type controller also works normally. (I have not figured out yet when the PS4 controller works and when not). Issue 1: The only issues I currently have 1. Bezel backdrop does not work (works with Libretro/MAME, not with MAME64 starting from RetroBat, but from command prompt mame it shows the Bezel) 2. Fixed (use MAME64) - When using Libretro/MAME it sometimes start the TI-99/4A, sometimes not (very similar issue as in Batocera setup). MAME64 (v253) is stable in startup 3. USB-DB9 Joystick works in MAME64, but a PS4 controller does not work (but PS4 controller works with Libretro/MAME) 4. (Fixed, UI Active 1 in mame.ini) - Hotkey using a keyboard does not work. (now using ALT TAB to exit), but the PS4 controller works with SHARE + OPTION buttons as hotkeys to exit)

    27,700 with reprobate (mame64) and Joystick controller. Stage 17. I agree with @tmop69 once you get to know the patterns.

    Item 1 (Bezel of TI99) and 3 (PS4 controller) seems to be resolved magically on my other PC which I normally use. For item 2 i use now Mame64. Only item 4 left. Hotkey on the keyboard with TI99 (other emulators Shift + Esc works). But I am using the PS4 controller hockey (PS + OPTIONS). Also updated with another TI-Logo (file called mess.png) for the system (C:\RetroBat\emulationstation\.emulationstation\themes\es-theme-carbon\art\logos) TI99-Retrobat-Setup.zip

    Detailed instructions how to install RetroBat for a TI-99/4A system on Windows 11 (64-bit). TI99-Retrobat-Setup.zip (the directory you can copy it over the installed directories it will overwrite / merge into those directories) for /roms/ti99, with preview of images, videos (see the Batocera thread https://forums.atariage.com/topic/335490-batocera-emulation-system-and-ti-994a) This video is Batocera based, but RetroBat has the same Emulation Station interface:

    RetroBat (Windows 11 Emulation Station Frontend) using .rpk format (MAME64 or Libretro/MAME) Why? * With Batocera I need to reboot my PC go to the BIOS to switch each time between Batocera and Windows (and for laptops, I need to reconfigure the BIOS to disable secure boot) I like Batocera, which is a Linux based Emulation Station) running from a USB drive (it can be installed dedicated on a PC), but I am using this device with Windows and other purposes (e.g. watch TV channels) https://forums.atariage.com/topic/335490-batocera-emulation-system-and-ti-994a * RetroBat solves that issue as it runs on Windows 11 (64 Bit), but for the TI-99/4A it relies on the .zip file structure for roms. It has the same Emulation Station interface, but I did not want to redo all the work done for the Batocera configuration * It is very straight forward to install and to customize it The only issues I currently have 1. Bezel backdrop does not work (works with Libretro/MAME, not with MAME64 starting from RetroBat, but from command prompt mame it shows the Bezel) 2. When using Libretro/MAME it sometimes start the TI-99/4A, sometimes not (very similar issue as in Batocera setup). MAME64 (v253) is stable in startup 3. USB-DB9 Joystick works in MAME64, but a PS4 controller does not work (but PS4 controller works with Libretro/MAME) 4. Hotkey using a keyboard does not work. (now using ALT TAB to exit), but the PS4 controller works with SHARE + OPTION buttons as hotkeys to exit)

    Thanks for this! Also important is to install the Frontend (link was in the other Gamebase thread):

    Interesting it mentioned that it does not support 720k DD.

    Comes from China. I ordered via Lazada, but I do not see any brand. I supposed to use a 5.25 disk drive and 3.5 directly to Geneve but that will not work. The black usb floppydisk 3.5 is Imation brand. Bought it 20 years ago.
  25. globeron
    I will test when I am back. The backdrop looks very similar like 1 of my first TI games in TI BASIC - Air Defense
