Ralph: It's possible to add the folder support from FinalGROM99 to FlashROM99? That would be beyond cool

And, BTW I WANT ONE TOO !!!!

it'll support folders, so I think the menu will be hierarchical too...

The FinalGROM cartridge, indeed!!

CALL LOAD works? I had a toasted 32K card and CALL LOAD gave me a SYNTAX ERROR If CALL LOAD works you can use a XB program to test the memory (typing it from the console) or just use a Mini Memory and a TI BASIC program to do the same if CALL LOAD didn't work in XB Good Luck

Speccery new board?

I think ralph (Flashrom99 creator) is prototyping exactly that right now

All we need now is a cheap/easily available SAMS card

Good news everyone!!

Any plan to make a 256K or 512K flashrom99+ with the alternate larger design? Some games can´t fit in 32K. Removing the 171 files limitation would be nice too

Got it

Mini memory is too small or incompatible with DOS binaries. Didn´t work I had success loading E/A 5 (with LOAD) and E/A 3 (with FIX80) in most cases but not always. So the 4ADOS present in FR99 definitely can load E/A programs. Actually I'm using DSK1 for chara1 and DSK3 for E/A programs. Less disk swapping X commands are a lost cause Guillermo

For PAL models, if you have a component or scart input in your TV/display, you can just inject the YPbPr signal to it with a custom cable. I'm doing exactly that with my PAL TI99 and a Sony LCD. In some screens colors look too blue as the Pb signal isn´t standard but in an old Panasonic plasma with a Scart card it looks really good. Maybe you can convert YPbPr to HDMI directly (I've read some success stories online)

Thanks for the answers. Another question: E/A functionality really works in 4A/DOS running from flashrom99?. As I see, the supercart with 8K RAM also have a E/A GROM. That GROM isn't present in FR99. That can be the reason I'm unable to load anything that works? Also, can a MiniMemory module be used instead of the supercart?

Hi: I'm trying to do something with 4A/DOS. I'm able to boot it using the ROM image from FLASROM99, and the 4A-DOS.dsk converted to hfe in the Lotharek. I was unable to load DOS directly from disk using E/A, as it never show in the menu after loading it and soft reset. Something to do with loading E/A from FlashRom99? I don't know. Also I don't know what the different DOS/xx files do, except I can use DOS/O with the F18A. Anyway, using the ROM image and getting chara1 from disk works, but after that I don't know how to use the thing The PDF made by Omega is too succinct to my taste There is a more complete documentation somewhere?? For example I have no idea what to do inside the editor. Also when I tried to run something from disk with LOAD FIX80 or X I don't know what to do X CHKDSK loads and then nothing. I need to use some extra parameters? I can use it to load E/A option 5 files? Basic programs? No idea. All I can do is changing drives with vol and listing them with dir. That´s it? I hope not. It`s possible to use MDOS instead? HELP Regards Guillermo

Interesting to know. but it´s possible to have the rom part in ROM in a cartridge (or in Flashrom99) and the GROM part in RAM (loaded from disk in the 32K exp)?

Sorry about my ignorance, but why some GROM based games as Parsec can be run from FlashRom99 with the 32K expansion (or from diskette) and some, as Tutankam, can´t?

I'm asking in the local online market if any of the TI99 available has the spanish 1982 screen. Some are USA consoles, but a few are local ones... If I have some positive answers I'll tell you. Guillermo

Thanks!! Sadly no, vanilla 1981 english title screen. Probably a early model, as the power supply is a ti99/4 one. Also the console is in pretty bad shape, the keyboard needs a replacement, and I even needed to patch ADDR1 line in the external bus as the trace was broken, and the PEB didn't work. Now I can add the JedPeb to it The USA one is in mint condition however. Also 1981. The C64 is also a "Local" one (Drean Commodore 64).

This is my system Left: TI99/4A "Local" console (sold by TI Argentina) PAL output, connected via YPbPr cable. XB cartridge. Right: TI99/4A US version. F18A installed. Flashrom99 Speech. PEB with 32K and unmodified RS232 and Disk Memory cards. Lotharek, 3,5 and 5.25 diskette drives Also present: a C64 PAL with SD2IEC virtual disk drive

I'm waiting a cable I bought from him a month ago, but as I have no tracking, and knowing my customs office, I can wait easily another month to receive it!!

This one? https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/0QDGf51I

hey, I can help with an Latinamerican Spanish version!

Wonderful!!! Finally I can manage TI disks in my mac!! Thanks a lot!!

I got the cartridges
