Since I was the software & hardware librarian for my Canberra TI club, from 14yo to 16yo, I can say there is a reason - all those XB (auto) LOAD disks we loved, with menus, which can now be made with CALL TIPI. Both our devices can run newly created content now. And in my 2nd post in this thread I also made it perfectly clear these are not the same device in any case. You can't buy mine, you have to build it yourself, or have a friend who won't rip you off. Those are the conditions I set forward. Seems pretty clear they are not the same.

I was able to test this on my 3 TIs. It passed on 2 of the 3: Silver TI and QI TI. For some reason the SAMS burn-in fails on the beige one. I will probably just use the 264 mhz versions. As I said before, I am perfectly happy with those. Of course I am available to do testing should you release new firmware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 XB removed searching DSR's for CALLs unless in immediate mode. So they cannot be used in DSK1.LOAD programs. I only reply as to not leave anyone misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is one last attempt (another NOP added conditionally) to see if I can't get this working on them all. 3 hours ago, jedimatt42 said: XB removed searching DSR's for CALLs unless in immediate mode.

I say "apparently" because that's what I was using when I tested it, but I can now confirm TI-XB, RXB and 2.9GEM don't allow it (I would say only to prevent CALL FILES messing up the VRAM, and two of those XBs can still be updated by @RXB and @senior_falcon). But I hope you can now see why I was protesting the unnecessary removal of one of my attempts to make my device compatible with the public domain TIPI device.

+jedimatt42 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 'compatibility' is a key word you hadn't used when making your case against my suggestion. I had no idea you were aiming for compatibility with TIPI besides the mentioned mouse support. Going back to the beginning of this thread, there is really no discussion of what or how it is characterized as compatible... I'm sorry for the mis-understanding. In what ways is this compatible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonACT Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, jedimatt42 said: In what ways is this compatible? Other than the EA5 loader, I have template code in the file "extensions.h" that currently handle the mouse (0x20) and tcpip (0x22) - and I've extended it with a direct interface to USB gamepads for 2 joysticks (0x30) that allow more buttons than a normal TI for each. I really only use the mouse at the moment, the joysticks are also routed to the usual CRUs so I have nothing that uses it either, but I released the code so someone else could add other things they might use. Should I start using other things, I will add them myself and release an update. Then there is the SD card filesystem access, but that's a little different for various reasons. Edit: Forgot to mention the PI.CLOCK and PI.TCP devices. Edited March 12 by JasonACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonACT Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 I've designed a version 3 board, adds R8 and U7 - just leave those two components out and it should work the same as the last board. I'll give a warning, as before, I have not had these made (and won't, though I'd love to have one) so it's an unverified set of files. (There's the option to cut two traces and use the speech PWM pin instead of UART RX for the second PSRAM chip select, but I would never do that myself.)

Albert Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Not sure what software you're using, but there are no viruses embedded in the forum. Recently, Chrome and Firefox have started marking every single attachment with a .bin extension, and some other extensions, as containing malware or a virus. Which is patently false, they are just blanket labeling all such files as dangerous. Could be related to that. And it's very annoying, since I'm not sure there's anything I can do on my end to prevent them from falsely claiming such files are dangerous, short of renaming all these files to use alternate extensions (such as .a26 for Atari 2600 binaries). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is windows 10. Just wierd that it starts doing it tonight, haven't had a webpage show a hit since I built this laptop, 6 months ago.

RickyDean Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) When I ran a scan on the download folder only, I do get this warning from Windows Defender. This is the one I downloaded with Firefox at 11:27, on the Win 11 machine. I'm going to bed now but will power on my computers and check again in the morning.
