+arcadeshopper Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Arcadeshopper will be donating a multicart to the prize pool.. can be any 512k one I'll probably make it there to give the winner a choice. Greg 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 After I burned the cartridge, I tested it a few times, from a cold start and it always seems to come at the full menu, so I think whoever wins it will be happy. Now if the GROM header does that on a warm reset, I agree it would be nice! I have posted a GROM file here that you can try: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/243766-bin-repository-images-for-burning-cartridges/page-6?do=findComment&comment=3452932 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Does anyone going to Fest West have an extra one of these? << THIS AUCTION >> has them cheap, but I don't need six of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Is it OK to bring stuff to trade (or give away)? I don't have much...but would love to bring home something I don't have (or with an emptier box to make my wife happy). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any extra, but I really like the ones with the metal housing better. They are much more solid and don't feel as flimsy.

I don't have much...but would love to bring home something I don't have (or with an emptier box to make my wife happy). Sure! That's half the fun! Bring your goodies, bring some money, because you just know somebody will have something that you "just gotta have!" The only thing I'm not encouraging is people bringing their TI's. There is just not enough room for nearly two dozen people (so far) to set up their systems. Besides, there are not enough electrical outlets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, for the heads up. If I get no luck at Fest West, I'll take your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy currently in California said he might show, so he's probably going to be the winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bring one that is just audio only with a standard 3.5mm mono jack on the other end we can make a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Interesting. I assume you'd use it for audio out, but Is there some other way to get video out of a TI 99/4A? Looks like I might be ordering a few extra 5-pin DIN plugs too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I do not. Must be that other Rick. I do have a 32k RAM modded TI-99/4A, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'll be sending Omega a DIY surprise prize for the Fest as well. . .something very appropriate to a Fest West. Statements like that make me curious about the history of the term Fest West. This thread mentioned a few prior venues. I've seen some historical mention of Fest West and Tucson. When I was in high school, I came down from the Seattle area to go to a TI gathering in Portland, OR. I don't remember if that was called a Fest West. Later I think the Queen Anne computer group in Seattle held a 'swap meet'. Now I'm rummaging around in parts of my brain that have been happily idle for decades... I picked up a CC-40 at that Seattle event, and a Gram Karte. That CC-40 was my first 'PDA' if you will. Anyway... Those probably happened somewhere between 1986-89. I wonder if anyone has significant histories around previous 'Fest West' they'd like to share? -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am excited about attending this little get together.

Omega-TI Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have an old out-dated and pretty much worthless laptop that never gets any use anymore, but I was thinking, would anyone be interested in chatting to random attendees at Fest West on April 30th? I could bring it and set it up for attendees to chat with folks that cannot make it. I was thinking of the SHIFT 838 CHAT site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could bring it and set it up for attendees to chat with folks that cannot make it. I was thinking of the SHIFT 838 CHAT site. We could host a TI chat on the myti99.com website, with people participating on their consoles, those with the necessary stuff to run Stuart's web browser. His multi-line version should be out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 FYI. Hopefully this will help but I mentioned the West Fest in the latest XEGS Cart by Cart Podcast. Maybe it will work against the festival. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
