notwhoyouthink Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 In the docs for Ray Kazmer's '1989 St. V. Day Card', he states that the Maze of Grog was originally wrote by Tesio Riccardo, in 1984, in Basic. Does anyone know where i can find this 1984 Basic version to checkout?

notwhoyouthink Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Have been busy all day, just now got time to check this out... How do i run this? I have the disk mounted as dsk1 in classic99. TI Basic: OLD DSK1.GROGMAZE * WARNING: CHECK PROGRAM IN MEMORY * I/O ERROR 52 TI Extended Basic: OLD DSK1.GROGMAZE RUN * BAD VALUE IN 410 Edited July 26, 2017 by notwhoyouthink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's strange. Ran ok on my main machine (real iron). Give me a little time and I'll get back to you. The bad value may be because of console basic character sets. Do you have BXB you can merge into the program once loaded into XB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwhoyouthink Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) I am using nothing but the classic99 emulator. I have no idea what "BXB" is ... Sorry. I know the game is designed to load off disk, but perhaps it would be possible to load it off tape? (I have a real TI994/a system, but nothing but console, plus Extended Basic and a tape player. No disk drive or NanoPeb/CF7.) Edited July 26, 2017 by notwhoyouthink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) I get the same errors in TI BASIC and XB as notwhoyouthink. However, if I try RXB (available in Classic99), it seems to work: Edited July 26, 2017 by chue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 GROGMAZE is int/var254 so it's extended basic and is large size so requires 32k.. it's also a ti basic only program as it uses extended char sets.. trying to load it in rxb now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Okay, Let's run the play again. On my main system I use a Gram Kracker that has a heavily modified Gram 0 - which includes being able to load and run console basic programs that utilize the extra character sets with no issues. When I initially found the original GROGMAZE it was in a Program format - and would not load into the computer without doing a CALL FILES(1) and NEW then loading the large program file. Once I did this, I decided to do a CALL FILES(3) and then saving it - this converts to the i/v format and will load with no problems, at least in XB. Anyway, Here's the disk again. If you want to load the pure basic program you will need to do the CALL FILES(1)/NEW/LOAD routine - The filename is simply GROG. If you want to run the i/v in XB you will need to load the GROGMAZE then merge BXB into memory. Check the listing first to make sure there isn't a line 1, because BXB merges with one. Hopefully this new disk will get you there. GROGMAZE.dsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) rxb works fine, as it allows the extended char sets.. it just needs to be resaved in a format that will fit in ti basic which i see now he already did Edited July 26, 2017 by arcadeshopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwhoyouthink Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 What is BXB, and where do i get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 BXB allows console basic programs that use character sets that aren't available in XB to be available. You can get it on the second dsk I uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
