+sm3 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 SUCCESS!!! I found a Model III ROM and.... Now I just need to find a few disks loaded with Retro-Nostalgia Goodies! THANKS sm3 Wow awesome! Have fun with it!! I should note that the model3.rom I posted is from that emulator in the posts I made above. While it seems to work, I can't guarantee it any further because I'm not sure where it came from. The ROMs I use with TRS32 are copied from my real TRS-80s and I don't own a Model III unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, I wish I had more time to play this morning, but I have a few things I need to do before I leave for work. I can see that this is going to be a big black hole for my extra time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that this is going to be a big black hole for my extra time! Right, I know what you mean! You should be able to use a Windows (USB) joystick with the emulator as well, although I haven't actually tried it yet. I just use the keyboard.

Omega-TI Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, I played around enough today and now I have to leave for work, but what I did do was.... 1) Played a butt-load of Robot Attack & Meteor Mission! (the only two games I currently have). 2) Made a blank TRSDOS disk for future use. 3) Looked around and could not find any images that actually worked. (Directions to a source welcome!) Now since I'm a total Newb with the TRS-80 emulation and have not played with a TRS-80 since around 1985, please be patient with me while I get re-acquainted with everything. I now have a couple of questions: a) Is there a PC program out there that can remove programs from all the different image types and different operating systems and put them on another disk? If so, what's it called and where do I find it? b) Where is the best place to download .DSK images that will work in this fantastic little emulator? I'm ready to start loading up! Again, thank you so much sm3, I could not have gotten this far without your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out TRSTools for Windows also by Matthew Reed: http://www.trs-80emulators.com/#Utilities And to answer the question on where to get disk images, I use this place: http://www.theoldcomputer.com/ Hope this helps you out!

Omega-TI Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Damn, finding downloadable and playable games for the TRS-80 emulator is harder than I thought... and my wishlist is growing! Games is blue are my priority, green are also wants. Nostalgia is an itch I need to scratch.

Bruce Tomlin Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 You must play Laser Defense. It's a great take on Missile Command, where you get to shoot at BOTH sides of the map. You can find it linked from here: http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/system-80/software_archive_directory.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hey, thanks for the 'heads up'. I went and got it at your suggestion... cool game! I also see lots of other cool games that are gonna eat my time up too. Surprisingly, I did not see an old TRS-80 text favorite of mine called Hammurabi.

Omega-TI Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm curious, but has anyone else ever experienced the screen going RED in TRS32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, it only seems to occur when I'm in FULL SCREEN mode. I'll take a picture next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use TRS32 in windowed mode, so that might be one reason I've never seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Another great game is Attack Force by Big Five software, it's a take on the classic TARG arcade game. Your player ship has two speeds of travel, and the nasty motherships are in the game too. I loved all these games as a kid, still do today.
