+retroclouds Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi Rasmus, any chance you could add the Pitfall! cartridge to the online version of the emulator. Would be cool Cheers retro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Love that this product is out there and that I can run RXB in it but.... Hmm see a few problems. Typing in a program to test it found you there is no key to put in a minus -1 or any minus sign? I am on Windows 7 with a Mac Pro using of course my Apple Keyboard but normally it always works? Second issue is I loaded a FW disk from MESS and it will catalog from RXB or REA but crashes running anything? Always says memory lacking or screen gets goofy? So could it be my Java on my OS?

slinkeey Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I have the same problem with the minus sign. Javascript != Java Edited May 15, 2014 by slinkeey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ok found the issue farther back i.e. QUOTE: It's running most cartridges I have tried. It still won't run any kind of basic (Ti Basic, XB, RXB) so I guess there must be some GPL problem, but I don't know how to track it down. Apart from that the only problems I have noticed have to do with the VDP emulation, e.g. no support for magnified sprites. This would explain the issue with the programs. Some programs I type in work, but most crash when using subprograms in RXB like CALL HGET from off the screen. So is a work in progress and will wait.

Rich, the problems I described in the quote are supposed to be fixed, so we need to find out what's causing those problems. Can you post the FW disk that you're having problems with? And please give an example of a CALL HGET that crashes. Edit: Note that SAMS is not supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm still having problem with the keyboard, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok here is a zip from the latest MESS FW.rpk After double checking I had a typo in the HGET program so no problems after all there.

Asmusr Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm still having problem with the keyboard, too. I have moved the - to another key, perhaps that helps? But you still have to press shift to get the - like on the TI. Without shift it's a /. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but your zip file is only 22 bytes. What is MESS FW anyway? Funnel Web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I got the Funnelweb versions of all kinds from MESS list of disks. It does include this one that works but crashes when you try to catalog a disk. But works in some emulators, just not this one. This is FWeb501.dsk that I normally used on my real iron TI99/4A FWeb501.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is FWeb501.dsk that I normally used on my real iron TI99/4A The reason why the disk functions are not working is that I have not emulated disk sector access in my DSR yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospect Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I have an issue with sound on my computer, it sounds like it's underwater and repeats tones.I have a WinXP Acer with a Realtek driver for sound, and I am using Google Chrome. Has anyone else noticed strange sound? Edited May 16, 2014 by Retrospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yea Realtek drivers have to be EXACTLY the right driver and EXACTLY the right OS per that Realtek driver. I was going insane with my Mac Pro until Bootcamp fixed the issue with Realtek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have an issue with sound on my computer, it sounds like it's underwater and repeats tones. I have a WinXP Acer with a Realtek driver for sound, and I am using Google Chrome. Has anyone else noticed strange sound? The sound emulation requires the host CPU to generate 44100 samples per second. Which overall frame rate do you get for the emulator? If the host CPU can't keep up anything can happen.

I have a WinXP Acer with a Realtek driver for sound, and I am using Google Chrome. Has anyone else noticed strange sound? After trying it in Chrome on Windows XP I can report that I do have some problems with the sound. For me it was more like the sound was chopped up in small pieces. But it works well in Firefox. The Web Audio technology used for producing the sound is still experimental technology that is not supported in browsers. Probably Google do not focus much on making it work in XP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the host CPU can't keep up anything can happen. I'm getting between 48 to 59 fps most of the time, funny thing is MESS emulation has the same sound problem, and other emulators (EightyOne namely) has a similar problem under Spectrum emulation so I think it's this machine I've got. I thought of a decent fix for it though, throwing it in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Latest version attached - in case you want to use it offline: Supports V9T9 files, supports multicolor mode, has a Step button that runs the emulator for 1/60th second, contains a simple Disk Manager. Basically what you can do with the Disk Manager is to load a bunch of disk images into your browser and save them to local storage (Save button). This will overwrite anything you have saved before. Next time you run the emulator you can use the Load button to restore all the disk images. Using the Disk Manager you can catalog disk images and choose which of the disk images to insert into which drives. You can also delete files or disk images (this does not affect anything on your hard drive). Just to have something under Options I have added an option to toggle 32K expansion on/off If you notice any games that are not working please let me know. I expect most programs to work except those that use disk sector access or peripherals that are not emulated (e.g. SAMS). js99er-1.5.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ok, got your 1.5 version , and I installed Firefox. I can't hear any sound - I've checked if it is my machine, my machine is fine. Don't know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
