Omega-TI Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Does anyone remember the original Kings Quest? I bet that game or one like it could be ported over to an F18A equipped TI. All it was was some static pictures with a moving character or two and text. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G3Kdbc7EoY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I just found that almost a decade ago, someone made a mod for The Sims that allows your virtual people the joy of having a TI-99 system in their home, complete with PEB too if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if 1300 downloads in 9.5 years is decent or not. http://modthesims.info/d/182337 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMole Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 To wit, I wonder how well some of the SCUMM games would convert. ScummVM is open-source. I looked at this a while back, and to be honest the ScummVM code is not going to be much help. Now, Kings Quest isn't actually a SCUMM game, it's an SCI game. Before being rolled into ScummVM, there was a project called FreeSCI that was open source and actually C-based (ScummVM is C++). The original FreeSCI source is still available and it does seem like it would be a good starting point for getting an interpreter up and running on the TI. It's one of those things on my todo list, but I'm refusing to pick anything else up until I've had a chance to finish Alex Kidd... if only life wasn't getting in the way so much right now... ugh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Of topic in the OT thread, but is Ckoba okay, I haven't seen a post from him since the second quake struck Japan. If you are able to see this, our thoughts and prayers are with you, and Japan, Ckoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Is there no such thing as a 27C040 DIP [edit] EEPROM? I can only find them as OTP (One Time Programmable) or the ones that require UV light to be erased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only find them as OTP (One Time Programmable) or the ones that require UV light to be erased. One of the reasons I standardized to one cartridge type, the UberCart or blue board, was because the availability of the AT49F040 512K EEPROMS. I found out that Ksarul got a 'killer deal' on a massive order, so the unit cost per chip ends up saving you more than the couple of bucks extra the blue carts cost initially. The blue boards also give one a few more options than a standard cartridge board. So if you don't mind your 521K chip in a PLCC form factor....

Do you think it would still fit in the cartridge if you tried one of << THESE >>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Do you think it would still fit in the cartridge if you tried one of << THESE >>? Great idea, for testing that could be fine if it will fit in the slot (without a shell, of course). I have an adapter from the Programmer, and I have an AT49F040 from my XB27 cart. It's worth a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because even though the Programmer has no problem reading and writing the AT49F040 through the adapter, when I insert it in a TI PCB I'm getting loads of read errors. The graphics in Alex Kidd is all garbled, for instance. Is that just because of the slightly longer connections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
