    High Score Competition (March: The Mine)

    in TI-99/4A Computers

    Posted

    All three of these versions are quite different and very fun!    Dang it for waiting until the last day to try them.

     

    I have plans tonight that include adult beverages, so i'm unsure if i can submit any more scores than these first trys:

     

    R.O.D. 1 : 360

    R.O.D. 2 : 360

    R.O.D. 3: 13600

     

    These are right up my alley and I'm sure I can do better.    Maybe since there are three versions we could extend this month.

     

    in ROD2 you can rescue humans?    I must figure this out.   Thanks Retrospect for the insane games.   I love the sound and the chaos and the detailed postmortems.

    TIPI Usage and Support

    in TI-99/4A Computers

    Posted

    Thanks Beery.   I see what you are saying.   I can feel the connector has a lot of travel in the pins and sockets and don't think the nut in the picture is in the way.

     

    I did ohm out the cable and everything checks out.   I didn't flex it much while testing continuity, but everything checked out. 

     

    put it back together and same result....maybe I should order another cable.

     

    I do get something on the screen attached to the PI.  i see the 4 raspberries, then the linux text as it boots up, then a login prompt.

    TIPI Usage and Support

    My Tipi (PEB) hasn't worked for some time now, but today I thought I'd try to fix it.

     

    Problem was that I would type CALL TIPI at the basic prompt and it would just hang.   

     

    Today I connected a monitor and keyboard to the rpi and could see it running and log into it.   I still got the hung blue screen.

     

    I decided to reflash it using the latest image "tipi-sdimage-buster-2.17.zip" - first formatting with SD Card Formatter and then writing the image with Win32DiskImager.  

     

    Result: it still hangs exactly the same way.   I do see the red light come on on the PEB card as soon as i hit ENTER after typing CALL TIPI.

     

    I've moved the PEB card to different slots - same result

    I've removed all other cards from the PEB - same result.

    I've tried a different TI-99 - same result.

     

    Any suggestions on what to try next?

     

    Thank you...

    6395 on Computer-Car

    I notice that the first time playing the cars are not “complete”. They seem to look normal on the second try.

    Thank you for making the .bin!

    I also tried the “black” car wars on real iron with final grom. Got a blank blue screen probably due to start PC mismatch.
