+Lee Stewart Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why don't 32K roms work on the Flashrom 99? They do—as long as they are using normal (non-inverted) paging. All you need to do to an inverted 32 KiB ROM file is to chop it into 8 KiB chunks and put it back together in reverse order. Do be sure that each 8 KiB chunk starts at >6000. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm pretty new to the TI-99/4a You can do it in a hex editor, but I think someone(s) on this forum has an inverting utility—Rasmus (@Asmusr), perhaps. I can invert it for you, as well. If it works in the Classic99 emulator, what is its name? ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seebert42 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It seems this thread died long ago, but does anybody else remember an educational programming language called Pilot available for the 99/4A? I seem to remember it as a cross between Basic and Logo with heavy support for graphics, joysticks, and sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Yep, I think I have a copy somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 There are actually two PILOT implementations for the TI. One was written for use with the p-Code card and was developed for Texas Instruments as a commercial release (I have a copy of this), and the other was a Fairware program developed after TI pulled out of the market (I have this as well). Unfortunately, not a lot was developed for either package BITD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The p-code version is available on WHTECH, here: http://ftp.whtech.com/user%20groups/Lima/library/ It's on disk 669a. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
