I have some spare hexbus leads for my CC40, but would I have to build a lead with a dockbus plug on it for the 74? I have never seen a stand alone lead for one.

It has a hexbus plug on it, and you use a hexbus to dockbus adapter to connect to dockbus with some dupont connectors i stock the drive and adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutantcamel1979 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks - I thought it was a ready made adapter to be honest. Since I nearly burnt my house down, I haven't attempted any soldering projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to visualise how it all fits together. Thanks Edited February 23, 2022 by mutantcamel1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutantcamel1979 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Sadly I had to spend a lot of money on my car this month, so was unable to afford the hex-ti-r.

mutantcamel1979 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) I received my own CIduino7 digital cassette interface for my TI74 at the weekend. I managed to upload a series of simple basic programs I had saved on cassette many years ago. Please find attached. I have included instructions too. Simply load using the command old "1.Game-Mix" All 6 programs are contained in the one txt file. Not sure if an original PCIF can be used or the Hex-TI-r-Hexbus. At the moment I had to modify the programs on the TI74 itself rather than my PC. I have loads more programs, so will upload more interesting things too soon!

mutantcamel1979 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just tried my Haunted House Text Adventure game which requires an additional 8K ram cartridge to run. Took a while but managed to upload it ok. Good little game with the facility to save your progress onto cassette! Hoping to convert some more adventure games very soon!

The program can be converted very easily to load/save from the SD storage solution as noted in the program listing: 5 REM WILL ALSO PLAY ON AN 18K CC-40 - BUT PLAYER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAVE 6 REM OR LOAD A PREVIOUS GAME - AS THE GAME USES THE TI-74'S CI-7 7 REM CASSETTE INTERFACE. LINES 6000-7200 COULD BE AMENDED TO CHANGE THIS THOUGH I have attached the amended version (binary). HAUNTED 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to put these programs in a directory or on another site please feel free. I wanted to demonstrate that having a single row display does not limit the system. Just your own imagination that limits you! Edited March 10, 2022 by mutantcamel1979 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantcamel1979 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Had a few issues with my Arduino, but managed to upload another TI74/CC40 3 in 1 program: Coin Flip, Aucey-Deucey (simple card game) and Hidden Words. Instructions are found within the program listings. Enjoy! 3in1.txt Edited March 20, 2022 by mutantcamel1979 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
