+arcadeshopper Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Okay, finally getting around to testing this out... downloaded the TutankhamC.bin file and it does not work on the FlashROM99. Can someone please post a FlashROM99 friendly file for this? And Joust is floating around too?! (looked at the WHTech site and the FR99 Image Repository thread here and nada) you need the C and the G, so ubergrom is it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 you need the C and the G, so ubergrom is it.. Ahh... a different type of cart then. Oh well, if you end up making any Tutankham (unreleased PB version) carts with those lovely labels, be happy to purchase one from you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Who made Joust? Atarisoft? Man, that'd be something! But I don't believe I have that. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Which label? the black or green Like 'em both, but would probably go with the green. Would look especially sharp on a beige cart I bet too! @OLD CS1: I saw what you said about the G file, that's why I tried the C file. Still getting the hang of the different file types and all their exceptions. (probably never will - ha!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Anyway, I was trying to save you trouble ) That "G" file is a GROM. Not going to work in the FlashROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Has anyone tried to burn TUT3.bin? It does display with one of the Guidry boards but I can't seem to get the program to start. Bad file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'll start it off... Back in the very early 1990's (a few years before the Internet came onto the scene) there was a Zmodem program being developed for the TI by a guy by the name of Gary Bowzer. The Zmodem protocol would have given us the ability to call more varied systems, but it appears now from 2016 it did not catch on. My questions are: 1) What ever happened to this protocol for the TI? 2) Was this just a stand alone program? I ask because I've never seen the Zmodem protocol incorporated in any other program. 3) Did it die because Xmodem was 'good enough' for TI'ers? 4) Did it die from lack of interest (few BBS users and fewer downloaders)? I don't recall Gary working on Zmodem. Jeff Brown was working on Zmodem though I don't know how far he was able to implement. I gave up on Zmodem during my efforts to create a Fidonet mail daemon. Compression and other 'requirements' became too complicated to implement and the methods changed too often. The stubs were eventually removed from my BBS software. Also, for the TI at that time, Zmodem didn't provide much beyond the other multiple file transfer protocols including Mass Transfer's X and Y modem operations, standard Ymodem, and Ymodem-g. I have actually entertained removing some protocols from TIMXT, PORT, and S&T BBS for sake of simplicity in the current 'world'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Does the DSK version of Tutankham posted a few days ago actually work....tried both E/A 3 and 5 to no avail. The C and G cart files work great under Classic 99, but really want the experience of playing this on original hardware for the first time.

+Ksarul Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 You will have to load those files into a GRAM device to play them on a real 99/4A (or build an UberGROM image cartridge). Other methods won't work (mainly due to the size of the files, as it combines ROM and CROM (Parker Brothers GROM substitutes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Does it look anything like this ColecoVision version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLu75DCEmIg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sorry for the lack of sound. CamStudio kept crashing, and I found one that works but will not record from the sound card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Does it look anything like this ColecoVision version? Except for the main character sprite being far less clean and detailed on the TI, everything else looks pretty much identical. Since this is just a prototype, I'm curious to find out how far it plays...which means I have to do much better playing it than I did on other systems 30 years ago (otherwise I'll be dead after the first few doors and never find out) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 I have a spare 1284P just sitting around waiting on a reason for it's existence. Also since the FR99 popped onto the scene, I have multiple UberGROM boards looking for something to do. This looks like a future possible option.

+save2600 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 and this is for the players TUT3.bin tutankham.rpk Okay, so who's playing the Retroclouds version of this game on their FR99? Doesn't seem to work on mine… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 As far as I know, there is no FlashROM 99 version. A version for the UberGROM was talked about at one point, but as of yet, I've seen nothing on that front either. That would make a nice little Christmas game for all of us old kids wouldn't it?

EKMELSOFT Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The PB TUT game has been a Ti urban legend for over 30 years now. I would love to see it run in a cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have these files, but I haven't tried them. TUTANKAM.DSK TUTANKHAMC.bin TUTANKHAMG.bin I hope they are useful. Darryl Darryl, were you part of TI or another company during the crash? Amazing that you found this!! We were running this on the FinalGrim 99 at VCF-SE :-). Many thanks!

Omega-TI Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Now that it looks like I'll shortly be down to needing only one cartridge for almost everything, I started wondering... whatever happened to the "Wifi UberGROM" project? Are these still on track to be released assembled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 As far as I know, there is no FlashROM 99 version. A version for the UberGROM was talked about at one point, but as of yet, I've seen nothing on that front either. That would make a nice little Christmas game for all of us old kids wouldn't it? Just doing a little update maintenance on this old thread to correct out-of-date information so future newbies reading will not be mislead. The FinalGROM 99 version of Tutankham can be located << HERE >> and the UberGROM version of Tutankham can be found << HERE >> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCRAYERT504 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Where can I find TI-99/4a toma that will work on the Flashrom 99? I can't seem to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I don't think a FlashROM 99 version has been built. It is only one CROM (the Parker Brothers chip that circumvented the TI GROM functionality) and one ROM, so it should be doable though--just not by me.
