Sinphaltimus Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 ElectricLab called for a CHATTI (name tentative) ~pronounced Chatty~ testing this past weekend.CHATTI is a realtime messenger program for the TIPI equipped TI.I grabbed some screenshots with my phone. I was chatting in real time with multiple people on the other side of the country using a real TI console equipped with TIPI. Initial LogIn screen - had to choose a shortened name when registering at myti99.com After logging in.... First Screen - *sniff* - Our initial tests revealed a new BUG - spacebar not working - it has since been fixed.... Search for members works - Where are you Arcade Shopper?!?!?! CHATTI is still in the early stages of development testing with features being discussed - I really think everyone is going to love this when done. It felt no different than having a chat window open in windows because my TI and PC are next to each other. So my console was on all day this past weekend (I think Sunday) while I did PC stuff and to my surprise, I got a new msg from PeTeE and was off chatting with him in no time at all. 10 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265136-tipi-ti-994a-to-raspberry-pi-interface-development/page/12/#findComment-3942903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Here ya go! P.S. - Just ignore the loading instruction if you are using the FlashROM version. Thanks I am loading the flashrom version from finalgrom.. I got it to load, and it works fine from DSK1 emulation, any dir on DSK1 works.. the dir routine does not like TIPI. as a device but LOAD loaded Bigfoot fine from TIPI.GAMES.EA5.BIGFOOT also type pi.config worked.. I see edit on the disk but no instructions on invoking the editor.. nm i figured it out just have to load EDIT40 Greg 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265136-tipi-ti-994a-to-raspberry-pi-interface-development/page/12/#findComment-3942916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinphaltimus Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Nice! so just hit enter at the search (leave blank) - most excellent.Also notice the "Updating..." Poll. Sweet. Well done. EDIT: BTW - for those reading along - To show some TIPI capabilities demo'ed in the past.In the TIPICFG (tiPi configuration program) I have a slot called URI3 which is one of 3 reserved for URLs.URI3 = HTTP://<path to website folder containing CHATTI>I turn on the TI, Select 1 for TI BASIC then enter CALL TIPI("URI3.CHATTI") and press enter. This loads the messenger client from ElectricLab's website on the TI.I do not have CHATTI stored locally. Why do that now? It's constantly being updated as as long as EL saved the newest file on his website, running this command will always load the latest CHATTI.

+jedimatt42 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 So, is there a BOM for construction of the hardware (connectors, etc)? I've got boards and parts on hand to build about 20... The surface mount CPLD is tiresome. The stacking connector needs to be cut down one column. You need a Xilinx JTAG programmer and an eprom programmer to program the chips on the board. I'll make a BOM available soon... Every board I don't have to build is time I can spend on software. -M@ 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265136-tipi-ti-994a-to-raspberry-pi-interface-development/page/12/#findComment-3945969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 So, I'm looking at V9T9 FIAD files, and don't really see a deterministic way to tell that it is a V9T9... I can take a best guess... if the file type flags make sense, and the size indicators make sense, then guess and go. My goal here is to provide a conversion to TIFILES option from the TIPI web-ui, as TIPI will treat foreign files like DIS/FIX 128 otherwise. Anyway, this detection of V9T9 seems error prone, is there a more reliable indicator that I'm missing? -M@ Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265136-tipi-ti-994a-to-raspberry-pi-interface-development/page/12/#findComment-3946338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nothing I could really come up with... Classic99 compares the embedded filename to the disk filename and runs off of that.

Sinphaltimus Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 As crazy as it sounds - can you convert a TIFile (backup) to voto and compare the 2 with a hexeditor or something similar? I noticed when I open up the save files from my number guess game in windows notepad there is some sort of header that says TIFLE at the top. I never tried looking at a v9t9 file that way. I've been fighting Windows 10 all day and think i have to restore from backup tomorrow else I'd have checked just out of curiosity.
