Tator Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi, I just received an MBX expansion system that I just bought and was trying to test if it´s working Ok. I only have two compatible games that work with the MBX system: 1) Bigfoot Command Module: I tested the joystick with this cartridge and it´s working OK! I couldn´t test the voice recognition because this cartridge doesn´t has this feature. 2)Sewermania Disk ( GPL interpreter simulator): With this program the joystick works OK, but when I try to enter the voice recognition option the system does not respond to the yes keypad that I press in the special keypad (the keypad is working because it sounds when I press it). One strange thing that I notice is that when I try this program with the MBX system turned on and attached, at the initial screen of this game and in other screens, the information displayed has some noise in the drawings. I tried in two differents TI Console System so I´m sure it´s not related with the PEB or the console. If I try the game without the MBX all the screens are OK. I don´t now if the problem is related to the MBX or maybe to the Sewermania Disk (GPL)that was not prepared to be used with an MBX attached. I would like to test if the MBX voice recognition is in working condition, I don´t know if theres is any other software available that can help me?. Any help is greatly appreciated!

CantStopClicking Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Tator, if you're not on the TI forum @ Yahoo, you might consider it. Maybe someone there would have more information on the MBX system. Unfortunately, I don't have one so I can't help at all. My guess is the GPL simulator isn't up to par for MBX, but that's purely a guess. -Dano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Sebas I would suspect the disk. PC99 includes all the MBX games and disks. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 One note: IIRC the MBX cartridges loaded from disk are not clean copies of the original--and I'm pretty sure they can't be if you want them to work. The normal MBX cartridge grabs control of the console as part of the startup routine, and that code has to be disabled in order to load from disk. It may be that that is where the code recognizes the presence of the MBX and identifies itseld to the device--and the fact that it is missing or not executed is causing your problem. Your best bet is to get hold of one of the MBX carts that NEED the MBX to work. Any of the educational titles would do here, as would Baseball.
