Omega-TI Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Any chance I can solicit an Extended BASIC loader for Mr. Chin? The BOOT MENU loader program on the ALTMAN:211 disk works just fine for that. In fact I use it to load Mr. Chin, Titanium, and all my other games from Extended BASIC or the Editor Assembler as it works in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have not turned up my E/A module (anyone have a spare?) As well, I am at a conference with my TI in the hotel room hooked up to a 45" TV so I am expecting to play a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I do not know my user ID, my email address is already registered, and I am unable to retrieve account information by email address. *sigh* It just is not meant to be tonight. So, off to bed and I will try again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not let me know and I'll set up a WeTransfer this weekend when I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I found MINI on Planet-99. It requires the Mini Memory cartridge, but I have a couple so that is not and issue. Thanks, anyway. I also tried YLOAD, but I was unable to get Mr. Chin or the Atari games disk going on it. I am pretty happy now that I have a non-EA way of running EA/5 programs. Now I just need a way to do EA/3 (Atari disk, etc.) without EA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Now I just need a way to do EA/3 (Atari disk, etc.) without EA. Good luck with that! Heck, it may be possible, I've never seen it, but if it exists, I'd like a copy myself. I load my E/A 3 games from a batch file menu by pressing one button under 4A DOS, but then again the Super Cart is a modified E/A cartridge.

Tursi Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Be better off to just convert the EA#3 titles to EA#5. They will load faster and you have more options to load with. Classic99 has a program image save function that could help with that - just load it normally through Editor/Assembler, then go into the debugger and use the save image function. You have to work out the memory regions to save and the entry point, but it has mechanisms to help with that (check the manual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Incidentally, I was messing around last night with a program to load generic EA#5 code from Extended BASIC (it's based on the scratchpad loader a few of us put together for TI BASIC a few years ago). It's almost working... if I don't go out of town tonight I'll post it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If I understand this correctly, Mini Memory's "Load and Run" feature will not work with EA#3 programs, though it is pretty much the same thing, because the Mini Memory lacks the REF/DEFs need for E/A. Correct or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need a way to do EA/3 (Atari disk, etc.) without EA. I most often use FunnelWeb for this purpose, along with the other capabilities it brings to a system with XB and 32K. IIRC, there are 2-3 different loader options. One nice feature is it shows you the defined program names, meaning you don't need to guess what to type (thought you may need to guess which name is the right one to use). If you have a CF/nanopeb, make sure you use the FWEB modified for the devices. There is an AtariSoft game disk that has an XB loader (YLOAD if I recall correctly) though I do not know if it has ever been uploaded. I would do so but I don't have access to those disks at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If you have a CF/nanopeb, make sure you use the FWEB modified for the devices. A modified FWEB for the NanoPEB? That woke me up from my living coma! Are we talking a COM1/V2 version? If so, where would I obtain such a copy? I've never really played with FWEB before; it might be interesting to have something to try out while I'm waiting for the next batch of F18A's to be made.

retroillucid Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 We are soon going to be ready to release Mr.Chin CIB for the TI We will also update our website and put a Ti-99 section Here is a sneak peak of the box Hope you guys will like it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 VERY nice. One request for the final release: the "Munch Man" chime which plays, I think when you earn an extra Chin (as if I need any ) is very loud compared to the game music and effects. Can that be attenuated a little? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
