Opry99er Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) KMart, IIRC, is one of the cool ToD games with modified dungeon graphics.... There were only a couple of these out there in the 80s. Edited May 28, 2015 by Opry99er 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TI-GAMER Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is there any way to make a Floppy Disk of this on my PC so that I can use it on the TI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If you are not set up for serial transfer, do not have a CF device, or are not running an HxC, you could try Omniflop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TI-GAMER Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I am just waiting on my HDX card to arrive and then I will be setup. In the mean time I have to create the Floppy on a PC for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Omniflop is the only way as far as I know and can be used with TI99-PC. You can find TI99-PC under the pc utilties directory on the whtech.com ftp site. I know it will work with Windows 7 32 bit and earlier versions and for 64 bit i think there is some DLL files that may need to be updated. I have not done it on windows 8. Your PC will have to support Single density floppy drives. Older PCs do, but I know it was getting harder and harder to find a motherboard with Windows 7 to support Single Density.

TI-GAMER Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have a Windows 98 Computer that I use to play all of my old DOS games on and it has a 5.25 Floppy Drive in it. I found a program called OmniDisk which is apparently for anything using Windows ME and older. Omniflop is for XP or newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Go to wht and look for an older version of ti99-pc. That's what I use on my windows 98 based machine for my transfers. It runs out of dos and has served me well for many a year. I only have a 3 1/2 drive on the pc, would love to find a backpack 5 1/4 drive to hang on it for transfers. Hope this helps. Where did you find omnidisk? Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi, here you will find my backup of both actual versions, with some PDFs for more help. Be aware, if using OmniFlop for WIN64, there is a change for the installation, in contrast to the WIN32-instructions. In OmniFlop, you just have to change the drivers for Floppy-Controller and Floppy-Drive in Win-System-Manager, and then you can use the GUI for formatting, reading and writing TI-Disks NEVER use HD-floppies, ONLY use DoubleDensitiy-disks (!!) ftp://u67140205-atariage:TeXasTI994A@toxic-instruments.com/_PROGS.bak The original source for all of this great tool is here: http://www.shlock.co.uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This is a very good idea for a thread. I want to extend Web99 to have the possibility to store information like this as part of every TiFile Document. The connection to a certain TiFile will be done via Hash of its Binary. The fields shall be editable from TI-99 & from Windows and can be shared worldwide. Just imagine a "HowToUse" Field. Of course this needs to be entered once manually (but not by everyone). But the good thing is, you have that information automatically next to every disk that features the same program (hash comparison). And you will get the entered information from other Users. Another field will be a pointer from the TiFile Program to the Documentation TiFile. So, if you have the program on Disk A, and the Documentation on Disk Z, you will have a connection between those two files. And get that data on your TI-99 screen, when you actually need it. There will be meta data fields that will be auto-populated like (TI-Basic, XB, Assembler,... instead of only seeing PROGRAM for Filetype) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) One of my former steps to get 5.25 and 3.5er floppies back, was to build a some older PC/mainboard with floppyconnector. As it only had a 3.5"-drive, I mounted a 5.25" in addition, made fine cabling and all this stuff, installed XP, and proudly baptized "him" "PC-Vintage"...... the I recognized that the board has a floppy-connector, yeah, but that the BIOS only supports ONE drive OK, as we have eBay today, I shot an Asus P97L, and now I have PC-Vintage2 with both drives back,. I build it without harddrives, but with 2 Addonics IDE-2-CFcard-adapters, and now I can plug in different CF-Cards (32MB up to 32GB) to have Win95/98, WinXP, DOS3.1, DOS3.3, 4.01, 5.0a, 6.12, Novell 3.12/3.20 and all this fine things ;-) Working on older DOS-versions now.
