neglectoru Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Apologies for the newbie question. I'm trying to get Turbo Forth up and running on MESS. I can launch and run the RPK as downloaded from the web site, and it appears to work. However, the BLOCKS.zip file creates a file that is simply called BLOCKS, that MESS doesn't understand when attached via -flop1. I tried changing the extension to .dsk, but to no avail. How does one use TIFILES images with MESS? I promise I'll get to fbForth too Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241912-load-turbo-forth-blocks-in-mess/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'll upload specific versions for MESS to the website tomorrow. Been meaning to do it for ages!

+Schmitzi Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, where can I find the BIN or RPK for the Mess/Mame-Emu ? thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241912-load-turbo-forth-blocks-in-mess/#findComment-3305322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm going to completely re-do the downloads page on the TurboForth website. It's a pain in the ass to maintain. In the meantime, here's the very latest MESS files, hot of the assembler, with the very latest (new boot screen) TurboForth disk image.

neglectoru Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks so much! In general, is there a conversion utility to turn TIFILES archives into something MESS understands?

+Schmitzi Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 yes, I think just copy them into an (empty) .DSK-file ? (i.e. with tiimagetool or TI99DIR) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241912-load-turbo-forth-blocks-in-mess/#findComment-3305724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Use Michael Zapf's TI Image Tool program. Search for the user MZapf here on this forum. The download link is in his signature on all his forum postings. :-) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241912-load-turbo-forth-blocks-in-mess/#findComment-3305725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
