xahmol Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Sorry if I unnecessarily create a new topic, but been a while since last visiting this forum as I cought up in Commodore projects instead of exploring my TI. Also has to find time and courage to install my F18A. But FINALLY did install it, and it works! Have to still explore sounds options via DIN cable, but video looks SUPER crisp on my Iiyama CRT. Did of course search the forum, but could not find a generic F18A Starting Guide topic or such, only a development one (which I might explore later but certainly not now directly). Did I miss one? If so, please point me to it. If not there: What are must have demos and programs to try? Did altready find the Zaxon and Cart demos, which look great. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/366289-finally-installed-my-f18a-best-resources-and-demos-to-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If you go to https://js99er.net/ and click on Software, there is a category "F18A specific" ... this could be a checklist for you to start. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/366289-finally-installed-my-f18a-best-resources-and-demos-to-start/#findComment-5464662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The js99er tip already proved to be working better.

xahmol Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) Ha, just remembered I had in my endeavors to get better picture quality for my TI-99/4a bought a TI-99/4a PAL to component AV cable a few years ago, before buying the TI PAL to SCART solution. That cable now comes handy, perfect for extracting the audio from my TI. Yeah. Now perfect VGA picture and audio.

PeteE Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I just remembered I converted a bunch of the f18a demos to cart form. You should be able to run them on a FinalGROM99. f18a-demo-carts.zip Edited May 12 by PeteE Fixed powerstrike 8 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/366289-finally-installed-my-f18a-best-resources-and-demos-to-start/#findComment-5465148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahmol Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Question: I note that when I reset my TI-99/4a with the reset button on my FinalGROM99, the palette of the F18A is not reset. Is this a known issue? And if yes, anyway to reset F18A palette without a full power cycle? Not a big nuisance, but anyway.

Not a big nuisance, but anyway. this is a feature.. there's a pallete adjusting program out there that you can use to change and it lasts until a power cycle or another change but it's easier to power cycle to reset to defaults 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/366289-finally-installed-my-f18a-best-resources-and-demos-to-start/#findComment-5465619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was somewhat annoying making that video though. Luckily there is a pause recording button in OBS 😉 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/366289-finally-installed-my-f18a-best-resources-and-demos-to-start/#findComment-5465668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
