I've updated my MegaPack to V1.2 If you have some carts/homebrews not in the pack, but in the list on the Excel file included in the .zip, please share, so they can be included in the next pack. Have fun! :) The pack is available on AtariAge forum (you need an account to download): https://forums.atariage.com/topic/335443-tomy-tutorpyutapyutajr-gam...

Ed, First, the IO jumper is used only if you are trying to use TIPI, which is an external device connected via the "User Port". So if you are not trying to do that, you can ignore the IO jumper. As for the issue of getting just a black screen and no OSD a couple of questions: Are you trying to do this via a crt/vga connection on the IO b...

Updated version of the MegaPack with the official core and some new homebrews available on AtariAge (you need an account to be able to download files): https://atariage.com/forums/topic/335443-tomy-tutorpyutapyutajr-games-homebrews-megapack-for-mister-and-mame/?do=findComment&comment=5090871 With this new version of the core it seems that all t...

I've had situations where I held the joystick in a direction (up or down) and the ship didn't move. Letting go for a second and then pressing the same direction again caused the ship to start moving. I tried Zelda on the NES with the same joystick and this *never* happened (even though Zelda is also a game which stops moving when you stop holding ...

After some struggles which I won't get into here, I got this to work and played Parsec. First of all, the joystick seems to stick a lot. Is this something in the game triggered by using too much fuel or moving it too much or something? The joystick works fine in other systems, it only seems to stick here. Also, what should I use for voice? Gogling...

I have tried to download the pack but I have got this notification: "This attachment is not available. It may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it to this location.@ Thanks! Ok, I've tested again. It seems that it's now necessary to be registered on AA to download it. I'll try to ask if it's possib...

Mancala is a PAGED378 cart. In my pack there is the .M99 version that is working correctly: Mancala (1983)(DaTaBioTics)(TRI-2002)_[Cart Type PAGED378]_[C+G].M99 In the suffix I've indicated that the .M99 file was created using .C (ROM) and .G (GROM) files, setting the Cart Type to PAGED378. In this case it's just necessary to load the .M99 file, t...

If you use the last version of my MegaPack for the TI you'll find in the file name (if not already in .M99 format) the correct infos to load each cart.

You can download my MegaPack with all the available BIOS, Games & Homebrews to use with this new core! There are also some manuals for games, BASIC, etc. An Excel file is included in which, for each game/homebrew, there are the tests results and some additional information.

As promised, the new MegaPack 4.1.0 is available for download on TI99IUC site (at the end of the article): https://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pageid=homepage&artid=194#.YhXoyoqZOUk Of course it includes the 49 TOD games in cart format. :D Note that Realms of Antiquity cannot be included, since it's a commercial game. If you want to play on Mi...

Regarding TOD, is possible to run the data files directly in cartridge, without using the disk. My last MegaPack 4.0 (available on Atari Age: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/312655-ti-994a-mister-core/?do=findComment&comment=4967326 ) has 9 games in .M99 format (under the SSS_Games directory). ;) A new, updated Magapack will be released soon...

Thanks, this worked perfectly! Now I can play Tunnels of Doom and finally update the Tunnels of Doom tribute page. http://purl.oclc.org/NET/edburns/classic-gaming/tunnels Thanks,...

@greyrogue, I noticed that the source files for the last version of the core (with tape support) were merged in the main official branch on github, but no new .rbf file is available into the "releases" directory. Also the auto-update script is downloading the previous Ti994a_20210829.rbf version.

Could you check it? Thanks.

Did I see...tape? :) Questions (since I can't look at the core right now): - Is this hardware tape deck attach or virtual via WAV? - Either way, does it support writing? So cool! This is one of those systems that really NEEDS tape support, since it was how so very many of us got our start! I've tested with the original tape recorder and some tapes...

Playing around with this. I think I like the change with the system ROMS selectable under Hardware. I think it's at least a little more clear to me, and I managed to load a DSK on this for the first time. At least, I think if it says "XB+32K AUTOLOAD" that means they work if I load Extended Basic. the EA3/EA5? Is that Editor/Assembler? H...

To support this new, great release by @Flandango , you can download my MegaPack V4 for the TI99 from the AtariAge forum ( https://atariage.com/forums/topic/312655-ti-994a-mister-core/?do=findComment&comment=4967326 ). It contains all the needed BIOS, .M99 files, new disk, new TOD games directly in cart format, the last homebrew released, etc. I...

Hi, did anyone get the new game ZQX-One to work? Thanks! That game is using the F18A, so it's not supported (at the moment) by the core. The version with the F18A posted by Flandango is at an initial stage and not fully working. We hope to have the F18A implemented in the future. :-) Thanks for updating me. Other F18A games worked, so I thought th...

@Flandango great addition to the core! I've tried it, but also for me it's not clear how to run it on MiSTer. On the TI, the P-System has a card to install on the PEB, a cartridge and 4 disks (2 for the Editor&Filer, 1 for the Assembler and 1 for the Compiler). On MAME I usually insert the cart, mount the disks and anable the card switch on the...

So, one of the many things I wanted to try out was interfacing with external devices through the User Port. At first I was thinking of maybe an RS-232 port but then I came across Tipi and looked interesting. I managed to get the TIPI firmware modified to work with Mister and the TI core and also connect the Raspberry Pi via the User Port. If there...

The updated MegaPack V3.1 for the TI99 core is now available for download from the TI99IUC site: https://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pageid=articoli_tech&artid=194#.YUn8RexxeUk ! it includes disks and carts to test the new features (eg. MiniMemory games, etc.) added in the last update of the core. There is a readme file in the archive with som...

In attachment a disk of demos for the F18A if someone is curious to test this hardware. There is a demo of a space game that is really interesting. Some of the demos are not working/crashing but they can provide an idea of this VDP chip replacement. The F18A implementation could also be used on other systems based on the TMS9918 (MSX1, Colecovision...

Something I am trying out.... Yes!!! Great news!!! :D I do not want to spoil the new feature in progress, but it's really cool! Just tested on the fly. The Scandobler have to be removed (I had it set to CRT 25%) to have it booting correctly, but it's a great start for an alpha version. Waiting impatiently for new updates! Thanks for it, you are th...

Well, I did some tweaking and hopefully this bring it closer to the values Tmop posted. It also seems to have fixed the 006-b-4 XB Games disk posted above....at least it doesn't crash immediately on startup. @Flandango , excellent work! :D The PAL_NTSC_Test_XB_Autoload.dsk is now reporting on my MiSTer (with a 32MB memory bank): Mister PAL: 147 Mi...

@Flandango , I've done some tests for the PAL/NTSC. The fact that the difference of the setting is visible with music, Megademo , etc. and not with the PALTEST XB program has lead me to think that the loop used in it is no long enough for helping with the debugging. I've created a new XB program (it loads automatically in XB from the disk) and run...

@Flandango I've done some other tests, expecially on disk, since one guy on AA reported that is not working. I was able to run fine some of the previosly tested disks (Argroids, Bandit, Diablo, Old Dark Caves) and all are working fine. Then I've done some tests with carts (changing the cart type on the fly, etc.) and reloading again XB to autoboot ...

@Flandango,

it seems that the Atari games carts support is broken in this release if loaded as a full rom image. E.g. Donkey Kong was working fine if loaded as C and D parts, but not as a single file. It was working previously. Could you please check?

Ah...forgot that SDRAM only gets wiped when Main is loaded. Ok I made a quick fix and it should be working now. If you are not using a boot.rom file, you will still have the previous rom in SDRAM after a core change since the core itself doesn't wipe the SDRAM unless you do a reboot. @Flandango , I was finally able to test your last update of the ...
