First, why are you so intense? The universe isn't against you. Chill out man ? Second, you are mixing things, again. Nobody is talking about disk access speed, we are talking about basic execution times. And you contradict yourself, you are saying GPL has nothing to do with a slow basic, and you are saying the XB is faster because it has some functions implemented in assembler. Regarding assembly basic, isn't cortex basic exactly that. I'll make the same test with it later

Because it´s not true. XB is really slow too. Doing a simple loop like printing from 1 to 1000 in both machines, the C64 is 2-3x faster (depending of the screen output formatting), using an 1Mhz clock, than the TI using a 3MHz clock. The 9900 doesn't help using more cycles than the 6502 for the same instruction, but GPL is part of the problem.

It is different!! The weird one seems to be a beta. Also, no foxes!! This one seems a little harder. My best score so far.

I was using henhouse32kb8.bin from flashrom99 repository thread. It requires 32K expansion and have the weird color scheme and some errors in some character definitions (as numbers 2 and 7 with a misplaced pixel). There is another 8k rom in the "FlashROM99 software that does not require 32K v3" zip and that one seems to be the one used by everyone here, so I'll play that version for now on just in case the difficulty is different.

It was already posted

My version seems to have a different color scheme. I'm using FR99 one

Getting closer

I've kept the ray caster running while I was eating (30-45 mins) and when I returned the TI was showing the F18A logo. Maybe heat issues, or a bug in F18A or the raycaster? Power cycled it and all is fine.

Hi. Just to clear the waters, you can't add memory expansions capacities. Multiple 32K expansions will map to the same memory area. If you already have a 32K expansion and you add a PEB or NanoPEB, you need to remove it. With the NanoPEB you will use the included 32K RAM, but with PEB you need to buy a 32K expansion card, or some more capable AMS or SAMS card if you can find it (or you can build one from scratch). The JediMatt 32K expansion don't have a expansion connector compatible with the PEB. Sadly you can´t add a storage solution to the JediMatt 32K as nobody created such a solution (yet).

Nice! But... but... if you didn't use raycasting in megademo's Doom part, which witchcraft was invoked?

My 2 XB cartridges and Editor/Assembler one are beige, (and my original XB one from 1983 was beige also) so, at least in XB case I thing beige ones are very common.

Do you have an old fashion analog line or a VoIP one? VoIP doesn't play well with modems or faxes.

None! Just the built in PIP support. It even support mixed PAL, NTSC and VGA (as shown in the picture. C64 is PAL and TI F18a is VGA)

Parsec speaks to me. Literally

Yes, it's big but not even HD. It's a 852x480 old plasma screen. Lots of analog inputs however

New display Both TI and C64 connected. TI F18a and C64 side by side.

Do you have any sort of 32K expansion?. Most cartridge images needs it. All TI games converted to ROM for example. There is a zip containing all the ROMs you can use without a 32K exp. however. Start with them. Most third party games (as ATARI ones) doesn't need the 32K. Or you can just buy Matt 32K sidecar expansion and use all the wonderful ROMs available

Yes, you need a cartridge with speech support. Some games as Parsec or Alpiner use it. If you want to program it, you need Extended Basic or Terminal Emulator II cartridges to access it.

Puf all in auto or dhcp. It should Work. Forget about printing directly using AirPrint as your Model has no direct printing support

477fdn doesn't have wifi. Fnw and fdw have wifi

I've used flashrom99 in both a PAL and a NTSC TI without problems. Mostly in the NTSC one, but even my pretty battered PAL one (an argentinean model) runs it fine. I bought mine directly from ralph preassembled

Regarding the international touch, I'm from Argentina, where the TI-99/4A was huge in the 83-84, sold by Texas Instrument Argentina both in silver/black and later in beige. I owned a silver one in that time period, and have a couple of them today.

Nice!! I've run the demo in both an US console with the F18A and in a unmodified argentinian PAL console (using component output) and it runs fine in both of them. It runs slower in the PAL one of course but all effects runs fine. Sadly I only have the 32K expansion and no 512K cart. Gongrats to everyone involved!!!

I made a PAL A/V cable and I can confirm it's some sort of component signal. Not a standard one, as blue levels are too high but some screens (as an old Panasonic plasma and some Sony LCD, both with PAL support, shows the colors right. Also a newer TCL screen shows it as UNSUPPORTED and I can't feed it via my ONKYO component to HDMI converter.

Any way to reuse the analog joystick support already present in ROM (as used by MESS) ?
