Gazoo Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) OK, I'm not adding anything. Here's 10 more: Sewermania Astro Fighter Wing War Munchmobile Angler Dangler Munch-man(with TI corners) Star Force Star Fort Theon Raiders Hunt the Wumpus Ok, looks as if a few of these are some of the ones I found not working. I see that the format you must have them in natively has a Tifiles header, so I'll have to remove them manually, no biggie. Theon Raiders, Sewermania, and Wing War all have problems. The others appear to work. Gazoo Edited October 25, 2014 by Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I see a 'keister load' of games for all these mega cartridges, and that's good....... but, where are the manuals for all these games? They're not all a ftp://whtech.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Cool, I'll knock that off the list. So why are there multiple files for each if these? Because each file is a maximum of 8k, and most games use more than that. Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Because each file is a maximum of 8k, and most games use more than that. Gazoo Really? I didn't know that. I assumed that TI Games were like Atari 2600 games (4K or 8K with a few 16K). I guess they're more like 5200 games (mostly 32K) Super Storm, AKA Slime. I may have a ROM for that one. . .purchased from Competition Computers many years ago. I'm not sure if I put it into one of my cartridge boards, I'll have to go digging again. . . Awesome! Please look. Also a personal request. Can someone see if they can fix that Robotron EA load? I'd really like to play that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have a feasibility question regarding these new cartridges, but first my limited understanding or possible misconceptions: First, I believe one can dump the image of any program in memory taken during any moment of the target programs execution. Right? Second, I believe some of you like Gazoo, have the knowledge to then take the resulting image, perform some magic, and are then able to burn these programs onto a chip with other programs. (Like the Bert & Ernie XB easter egg in XB v2.7 S) If all this is true, would it be possible to take an image of 4A/DOS right after it loads it's CHARA1 file, but right before it searches DSK1. for AUTO-BAT? After doing this, could the image then be burned onto a new chip along with other utilities? If this was done, everyone would be able to use 4A/DOS without needing a Super Cart and the execution speed would be simply amazing as there would be no load time for the character set file, just an immediate search for the AUTO-BAT file. The problem with this scenario is that the font is loaded into VRAM. You would have to add the font (1 – 2 KB) to ROM along with a modified loader. This is definitely not as easy as saving a CPU RAM image. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Anteater is already on one of the carts There must be a good dump of Wing War out there because I've seen screenshots of it running. There's even an earlier version of the game with different animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's even an earlier version of the game with different animation. Virus Attack and Battleship in the last group work. The problem I see with Wing War is all the dragon is able to do is jump a little and return to the same spot, unless that's all it does?

Tempest Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think you need to keep pushing the button to flap and then use the joystick to move (like joust). Try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say Wing War works, I'll take your word for it, but I still can't get it to do anything but jump a little. The data for all the games now is a little more than 512k, but I can probably squeeze some data in the empty spaces to make it fit. Sewermania definitely has problems, look at the setup screens.

Gazoo Yes I saw this, it seem to happen in all MBX games, look at 'Meteor Belt' in megagamemodule3 it does the same thing(Classic99). So does' Space Bandits' and 'Bigfoot'. Maybe we should take a vote on it to see if everyone wants these games or not. The games seem to play fine after the setup screen. EDIT: It only seems to do this with Classic99, on the TI it works fine.(Meteor Belt) Edited October 25, 2014 by Fritz442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 As long as the actual gameplay works a few missing letters are ok IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm partial to the TI cartridge games rather than the 3rd party stuff. The garbled text doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't hurt the gameplay. Why do the MBX games do that? Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKRetrogamer Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Just had a blast playing Milton Bradley's Bigfoot. Could this be included? Yay. It's being included!

You are correct. There are no display issues in Mess with the dump of Sewermania that was posted. Now I have to figure out what to delete from the list to include it in the cart. I wonder if the issues with the other cartridges are related? Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 So here's the list of 67 files. 4 must be deleted to have 63 files plus 1 menu file (there are 64 banks in a 512k cart). What should be removed? Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
