Dexter Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 RXB2015.dsk I never put together the programming files for RXB2015. It would be simple enough for you to do with a hex editor and the data file on the disk image, though. The attached dsk image has the improved BASICLOAD program which should work with any device that supports DSK1, so you can try flashing the cart in-console again...and again. I've heard it takes some people 2 times to get it done correctly. Gazoo That's the second time I read about the improved BASICLOAD, first with the XB2.7, and now here. I probably have missed something, but what does it do, and which program is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKRetrogamer Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Clearly I'm being stupid. Booting with my 632K cart, programmed up in my MiniPro as RXB2012/REA2011, with your RXB2015.DSK image from post #550 mounted as DSK1 in my nanoPEB, I boot into RXB2012. It automatically loads your updater. When prompted, I enter DSK1.RXB2015 and press return. Your program then goes off and READS the GROMs and EPROMs in that order. It NEVER says anything about WRITING data. After reading the GROMs and EPROMs, it returns a "Successful , Press Space" message. At this point, it becomes a complete crap-shoot as to whether I get RXB2012 with REA2011 or RXB2012 and LOSE REA2011 entirely. It doesn't matter how many times I run this, I NEVER get my cart upgraded to RXB2015. Sometimes I get an RXB2012 cart with REA2101, other times I lose REA2011 but I NEVER see menu items relating to RXB2015. I must be missing SOMETHING (other than a brain?!). Have I overlooked a vital step? Is there a jumper I need to move on the card, or do I need to stick my tongue out the corner of my mouth throughout the upgrade process for it to work?

Tursi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The loader is reading the disk file. The GROM is being written without a text message because the write is too fast to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKRetrogamer Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks, but nothing on the cart changes to reflect the update to RXB2015. Is the upgrade purely software driven? Do I need to change the position of any on-board jumpers to allow writing to the cart from the console? I'm confused by the fact the cartridge seems to change only the presence of REA and doesn't reflect any "upgrade" to the later revision of RXB.

I'm confused by the fact the cartridge seems to change only the presence of REA and doesn't reflect any "upgrade" to the later revision of RXB. I used the disk to upgrade my RXB cart with no problem. There is a jumper to write protect the 1284p, you might want to check that. But I would assume that nothing could be written to the chip if the jumper was set to write protect.

UKRetrogamer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 No. I've checked the jumpers and it makes no difference how I set the write-protect ones. The program still doesn't change anything in the EEPROMs. I give up. I have more important things to do than lose sleep over this. Gazoo? If you ever find time to pull the chips from a working RXB2015, could you please upload them/PM me with a ZIP file. I don't have the Ti knowledge to construct one from the posted GROM images, so downloading Minipro files is the only way I'll see an upgrade to RXB2015. Sorry guys. I'll just have to admit defeat on this one, and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 RXB2015Flash.bin RXB2015EEprom.bin No need to pull chips, just load the data file into a hex editor and move the data around a little. Gazoo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic1975 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hello Rich! I have question about RXB. I try to start my game Meteors (http://tigameshelf.net/ in TI BASIC). In TI Basic scroll of stars work fine, but in RXB there is no scroll. Is there somethig wrong or is there some other possibility to simulate stars scroll?

RXB Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Oh in another thread I found the issue is the Scroll in XB and RXB or any Extended Basic all have the same issue. The scroll in TI Basic does not work the same way as XB does so this is why this issue exists. To fix a RXB program running TI BASIC that used this Scroll function replace the line (line number) PRINT with (line number) CALL MOVES("VV",736,32,0) :: CALL HCHAR(24,1,31,2,24,3,32,28,24,31,31,2) The above CALL MOVES is VDP to VDP 736 bytes from screen address 32 to 0 The above CALL HCHAR will put 2 characters at row 24 col 1, then put 28 space characters from row 3 to 30, and finally put 2 characters 31 at row 31 and 32. It would be detrimental to add another scroll TI Basic version to RXB as in 30 years only this this TI Basic program has ever shown this problem with compatibility.

RXB Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Rich, what is the main difference between RXB 2015 D and E? I was asked to make a small change to RXB 2015 D for the load screen and fixed a bug I found in my code, also updated documents and Video Links. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Hi Rich! I would like to verify the complete subprogram list of RXB 2015E with you. This is needed to detect compatibility of a Basic Program with a certain Basic Version (RXB, XBII+, XB, TIB, SEB,...) automatically within Web99. Have there been other subprograms in older versions of RXB no longer supported in RXB 2015E? Have there been subprogram name changes?

Isn't RND rather a command? It's not working with CALL RND.

RXB Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I just replaced RND with a new version. I will have to check out EAED and see where I went wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Does this mean I'm going to have to update again? Which chip, the 1284P or the 49F040? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 From my last video: I just attempt to us RXB commands to use my BSAVE and BLOAD routines: CALL BSAVE("RS232") ! TI computer 1 SAVE lower 8K CALL BLOAD("RS232") ! TI computer 2 LOAD lower 8k Oddly it never completed or worked and I am very puzzled why? SAVE "RS232" OLD "RS232" Works and even: SAVE "RS232",MERGE Also works so why is my BSAVE and BLOAD not working as it works exactly the same as OLD and SAVE works? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Arthur... Since you have an UberFROM card and an AT49F040, you'll also need to obtain an Atmega 1284P. The RXB requires BOTH chips. Download both files in << THIS POST >>. You might also want to go << HERE >> and get the instructions on how to program the 1284 if it's your first time programming that type of chip. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
