apersson850 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's a little like the PME, which can run Pascal, or rather p-code, from RAM, VDP RAM and GROM. Just pick your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Here you go Michael. This was the whole disk archived. There is a problem, as my TIMT tells me. Only the first four files can be read, all others result in "Archive truncated", including MSAVE/6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 There is a problem, as my TIMT tells me. Only the first four files can be read, all others result in "Archive truncated", including MSAVE/6. Okay, I haven't tried your tool yet on arks,HFEs, and so forth, just on dsk images, sometimes. At least I know the problem is in the file. This was archived over 15 years ago, never tested as I was just trying to get alot of disks archived, to keep them useful far after the disks were worthless. I will search through some other storage devices I have, I know I have TI stuff from over 20+ years stored to in the GKUTILITIES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Just to avoid confusion, I should add that TIMT cannot open ARKs directly because an ARK file is a file, not an image. HFE and DSK (v9t9 and pc99 style) are images. If you try, you'd have to import the ARK file to a (possibly new) disk image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yea, you know I should... EA GROM plus a ram chip, right? I need to find some instructions and source some components. http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/supercart/supercart_4bank.html I built this one, also Jim makes a supercart board so you don't have to sacrifice a munchman or ti invaders, if you need an extra of either game I have them in bulk. I'm out of jim's boards but he's ordering more he says. my board I built with a ti-invaders board looks like frankenstien's monster and won't fit in a console but it works fine on a widgit Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 also I have a gk and probably those utilities somewhere in my library if need arises Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Awesome!!! Thanks Greg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I know trev005 is the current owner of my former GK. I had all utilities for the GK, both MG and 3rd party... its possible that he may have digital copies of those made up. Ill measage him and see.

+acadiel Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 GKStuff has a utilities disk image and a binary file there too for some kind of conversion program. PGRAM loader too. GK.zip is the GK rom to use with MAME. gkstuff.zip gk.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDOS Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Awesome! The first test will be to determine if we can break out of a BASIC program while it is in the module space. Test #1: Step #1: Write a BASIC program, use MSAVE6 to save it to GRAM 3 Step #2: Save module to disk (make sure no cartridges are inserted into the GRAM Kracker when you do this) Step #3: Completely shut down your system, then start up and INIT your module space on the GRAM Kracker to make sure it is clean. Step #4: LOAD the module from disk that you saved earlier. This will put the BASIC program in module space, cleanly, with no residuals of our previous efforts. We will know that the VDP contains no BASIC code at this point Step #5: Run the module from the title selection screen. While running, try a FCTN+4 break of the program. Step #6: If you were allowed to break out of the program, type LIST. Then report your results here. Owen. I just came across this topic. I can probably provide all the info you need for running TI Basic programs in GROM/GRAM space, as I've been doing this for many years new. I'm also just about ready to open the new topic on TI BASIC Plus (TIB+) which depends heavily on GK MSAVE & MSAVE6 for 80K/56K GramKracker, HSGPL & FG99. i also have found most all of my emails about the progress and difficulties encountered during the early development. Do you want to do this here or on the TIB+ topic? I had to modify the objectives document For MSAVE & BCART, buti I think I will have to do it again, as It's pretty confusing without doing it for each type of TI environment; CF7+/NanoPEB, Mini Memory, Editor Assembler, Winfried Winkler enhanced Assembler & Editor, and standard PEB peripherals. I'll know based on comments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
