+jedimatt42 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I cleaned my TI's GROM port on Valentines, and it has been in a better mood ever since. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Mine would just print a few hundred of these, soak them in gasoline, make a big pile of them around me and my computers, and ignite the entire mass. . .she gets really touchy about showing affection in a way that includes anything BUT her or the boys.

Omega-TI Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey guy's, have you even wondered how you could sneak a TI into the living room without the wife setting fire to it or you? 1) Perform Tursi's 32K Updrade 2) Install an F18A 3) Plug in one of the various multi-carts. One "Itty-Bitty" neat little TI will not be offensive... ... now you can play on the big screen screen TV to your hearts content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I did that about a year ago--and later added a Myarc MPES-50 so I could use disks with it. She grumbles once in a while, but the boys play with it a lot, so it has become part of the scenery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same like Ksarul, I have a PC standing next to the LCD TV to use Tursi Classic99 on the TV, but use Wireless controllers (PS/4) types, wireless keyboard and mouse to control everything from a distance wirelessly. I just got an Intel stick to plug into the HDMI (not tried out yet if it all works with Classic99) and remote tablet to control it (or wireless keyboard and mouse) (that will hide the PC) and have a TV with a "little USB-device" plugged in :-) (which is a full computer) http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/compute-stick/intel-compute-stick.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Intel stick is not powerful enough to run Classic99 at full speed unfortunately based on testing with my own device, which is really too bad. However, there is no issue using js99er with it, so all is not lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Aw, that's too bad (and a bit surprising!) I was looking at those Intel sticks myself to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Absolutely. Not a hitch. My usual subjective benchmark is the animated splash screen of Video Chess. It's very sluggish with Classic99 but runs at normal speed with js99er. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very sluggish with Classic99 but runs at normal speed with js99er. More than likely just the video updates, then, that always used to be the issue.

+Vorticon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 . Yes, but we can hope for the next generation of the Compute!Sticks ♫♪ harder better faster smaller ♫ Not so sure... They kind of flopped in the marketplace, which is why I was able to get my stick (OK that sounds bad) for less than $100.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 So lets hope that Intel regards it as "sportive", and continues that sticks I could imagine that this is the "future" of PC. Just have it in the pocket, on the search for a screen. Would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is this fixable? It just pushes most of the rendering work to the video driver in areas that are not normally exercised, specifically color depth conversion in non-overlay areas. Some drivers do this well, some poorly, but most modern machines are fast enough it stopped mattering. The answer usually was to try other rendering modes (GDI versus DirectX, scaling on or off) and see what was fastest (and run the same bitdepth as Classic99 helped, that's 32-bit nowadays.)

Shift838 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You know you are TI crazy when. if: You are still running a BBS that supports the TI/Geneve (Heatwave and Hidden Reef sysops!) You have coded a BBS software and it's being used for #1 above (Insane Multitasker - Handle fits!) You are actively coding new BBS software in hopes of the 'If you build it they will come philosphy'. - ME Actively developing new cartridges and hardware for this beast. (many many others fit here - you know who you are) Someone who prints up bumper stickers, t-shirts, mugs or anything else that will reference the TI) You jump at the chance to get #5 above when offered to you (ME). i could go on and on. but I think you all got the idea. I'm still waiting to see a Tatoo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is no issue using js99er with it, so all is not lost I agree with Vorticon it is a bit slow (like any other application running on the stick, but I have not had enough time to play with it... first application installed was Classic99). Video classic99 TI-99/4A on an Intel Compute Stick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQT-RYf74Zo (PS: I also was focusing on the main goal: "Hey guy's, have you even wondered how you could sneak a TI into the living room without the wife setting fire to it or you?")
