KirkDCO Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have MESS running very nicely right now on a Fedora 15 LINUX system. I'm using the command line rather than a GUI front end, and can easily start the system with: mess ti99_4a -windowed I've been struggling a bit to get cartridges and disks working, however. Based on another thread (http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/182724-win994a-under-linux-f15-with-wine/), I downloaded a large collection of cart roms and disks. For the cart roms, I use: mess ti99_4a -windowed -cart1 <cartname.bin or cartname.rpk> Specifically, when I try to use any of the roms in mess_modules.zip which all have the extension .bin, I get an error from mess saying "no pcb found" It seems that the .rpk files work fine. Of course, there may be enough redundancy between the .rpk and .bin files that everything is represented in each collection, but none the less, the .bin files don't seem to work. I also cannot seem to load any disks using, for example: mess ti99_4a -windowed -cart1 disk_manager_3.rpk -flop1 anydisk.dsk Once in Disk Manager, the system complains that there is no disk available. Any tips are greatly appreciated. -Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkDCO Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 OX, Thanks for the info. I'll dig through the script and see if there's anything I'm missing. Based on your examples at the end: .For a game cart in .rpk format - Mess.exe ti99_4a -nat -joy -window -skip_gameinfo -nowaitvsync -newui -cart1 c:\ti99\carts\pacman.rpk .For a game cart in seperate .bin files (each bin file in the set needs reading in as a seperate cart entry) Mess.exe ti99_4a -nat -joy -window -skip_gameinfo -nowaitvsync -newui -cart1 c:\ti99\carts\pacman\pacD.bin -cart2 c:\ti99\carts\pacman\pacG.bin .For a disk running E/A assembler game - Mess.exe ti99_4a -nat -joy -window -skip_gameinfo -nowaitvsync -newui -cart1 c:\ti99\System\phm3055g.bin -flop1 c:\ti99\disks\pacman.dsk .For a disk running Extended Basic game - Mess.exe ti99_4a -nat -joy -window -skip_gameinfo -nowaitvsync -newui -cart1 c:\ti99\System\phm3026c.bin -flop1 c:\ti99\disks\pacman.dsk This is essentially what I'm doing, minus a few switches. Specifically, I tried a couple of disks (with Zork being one of those) like this: mess ti99_4a -window -cart1 /opt/mess/carts/xb.rpk -flop1 /opt/mess/disks/zork1.dsk This would take me to the XB cartridge, but no Zork in sight. Also, trying to switch the cart to disk manager 3 and catalog the disk failed due to no disk. jaquesg - Be not afraid of the command line.

KirkDCO Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 It's much easier to use the MESSUI.EXE file that is packaged with MESS.EXE. Once you've got the emulation running, you can use the drop-down menus to change disks, load carts, or most anything else you want to configure at that point. I tried using MESS with all the command line switches, but it is _WAY_ more trouble than it is worth. My desktop shortcut to start TI emulation in MESS consists of this - "MESS TI99_4ev", and for the Geneve it's "MESS GENEVE -speed 0.96". Pick what you want from the drop down menus after the emulation is running. Tony Is there such a GUI in LINUX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkDCO Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I worked with QMC2 a bit last night, but I didn't seem to get very far. I couldn't find where to set the directories for disks/carts. I'll play with it a bit more. What I find this morning is this - first, the standard console output shows this: timess -cart1 /opt/MESS/rpks/disk_manager_3.rpk -flop1 /opt/MESS/mess_disks/zork1.dsk OPTIONAL pcode_r0.bin NOT FOUND OPTIONAL pcode_r1.bin NOT FOUND OPTIONAL pcode_g0.bin NOT FOUND OPTIONAL rs232.bin NOT FOUND OPTIONAL hfdc.bin NOT FOUND OPTIONAL bwg.bin NOT FOUND WARNING: the system might not run correctly. I don't know what hfdc.bin and bwg.bin are. Are they necessary for disk performance? Also, when I go into Disk Manager 3, after the splash screen it gives me an error: DISK ERROR 00 DEVICE NOT FOUND ACTIVE So, it isn't the disks that are the problem, it is the emulation of the drive. I tried to replace the disk.bin file with a newly downloaded one, but that didn't help. Is one of the two missing files necessary? Any other troubleshooting advice?? I'm using MESS 0.142, by the way. -Kirk EDIT: I just downloaded a Windows version of MESS 0.142, installed it, set up ROMs, disks and carts and tried the same thing once more, same problem. Using this command line: C:\MESS>mess.exe ti99_4a -window -cart1 Carts_rpk\disk_manager_3.rpk -flop1 Disks\ancient1.dsk I get the same error from Disk Manager, saying DEVICE NOT FOUND ACTIVE. What am I missing??? EDIT2: I'm missing hfdc.bin, the Myarch Disk Controller. Interesting. The BIOS ROM set I was using seems to work just fine with Win994a, but with MESS I need to include hfdc.bin, which seems perfectly logical. I can only conclude that Win994a manages its own disc controller while MESS uses a purely emulated method. I've got this working now on the Windows version, and tonight I'll give the LINUX version a shot. While were here, I see in this new ROM set I have rs232.bin and 994agr38.bin. rs232.bin is obvious, but I can't imagine how or why I would use it. What is 994agr38.bin?

Hi KirkDCO, The OPTIONALS are just optional system devices, not needed. I found that using MESS after a certain version (> .130b) with certain disk manager was incompatible and failed to startup, so I eventually got it working by loading Extended Basic cart No. PHM3026. I've added it here for you to try, you'll need to load each .bin as seperate cart in MESS, eg: cart1 = blahC.bin cart2 = blahD.bin etc. OX.

KirkDCO Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Just as a follow up, my LINUX version works fine now with the hfdc.bin ROM in place. I'm sure some cartridges will still allow functionality without it, but it now seems that everything works as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospect Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 your probably not doing anything wrong, its m.e.s.s., it's shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retroclouds Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Have to disagree with that. Sure, MESS is not as user-friendly as classic99. But it still is the most-complete TI-99/4A emulator out there. Having that said I'm a classic99 user though. Anyway, check out what Michael (TI-99/4A maintainer) wrote on ninerpedia regarding MESSUI http://www.ninerpedia.org/index.php/Alternative_MESS_front-ends Bottom line is that you are probably better of giving QMC2 a try.

Willsy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm torn, personally. The *TI* emulation within MESS is probably the best that we have. It is very very close to the real machine. Michael has done a fantastic job. However, the MESS system itself (which Michael is not responsible for) is, well, a mess, quite frankly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm getting at; MESS itself.... it's like the new version of MAME, not good. I liked the TI emulation on MESS but could not mount anything , be it cassettes or discs. I then found the TI99/8 rom and started using it's XB and enjoyed the extra grunt of the emulated 10MHz cpu ... but then found I couldn't mount anything.

+Lee Stewart Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 OK, I figured it out! It was MESS itself, not MESSUI. MESS used to auto-populate the PEB with the ROMs it found in TI99_4A.ZIP. Now you must do it with the MESS popup menu. I say it is not MESSUI's fault; but, MESSUI actually ought to have a menu that allows you to set the PEB slots. Of course, the problem with not getting to the mounted disks was that the disk controller was missing from its "slot" in the "PEB"! ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantStopClicking Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Too bad I didn't read this sooner. I just figured that out, the PEB slot, about a month ago. However, my problem now is; the stupid keyboard. I cannot get any of the function keys to work so it's completely useless to me. I've tried to get MESS to be "useable" for years and it's just not worth it. Disappointing because I think it covers a lot of hardware emulation better than others. That and the stupid windowing size is ridiculous, does it not scale right or am I the only one with these issues? I either get miniscule or full screen. Anything in between is out of focus, fuzzy, and un-readable. My solution - the real thing baby! It works every time. -D "Long Live the TI-99/4a!"

ssj Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I just updated to 147 and I'm struggling with this too. I have disk games loading fine with 143, but for the life of me can't figure how to configure things to have disks boot automatically on 147. Since you figured out Lee, could you please explain what settings should I put on each of the PEB slots so that the dsk games automatically start just like on MESS 143 I'd certainly appreciate it very much. I also notice that on MESS 143 we have a lot of extra TI99-4A specific menus on the MESS popup menu which are now gone on 147. Have no idea where that stuff has gone too. EDIT: Figured... 5 minutes after posting this found the answer, it's all here: http://www.ninerpedia.org/index.php/MESS_TI_emulation_usage I can't get the -peb:slot7 tirs232 option to work though, MESS always complains tirs232 isn't a valid option. But at least disk games will now boot automatically once again. Edited November 8, 2012 by ssj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
