Important Notes =============== How to Play Cartridge Games --------------------------- Place your cartridge games in the \TIGAMES directory. The file format for TI99 cartridge images is rather strange. Each cartridge game consists of 1 to 3 files. These files need to be named in a specific manner to be correctly interpreted. The naming is like this: XXXXXC.BIN XXXXXD.BIN XXXXXG.BIN Where XXXXX is the descriptive name of the game and C/D/G represent the different parts of the cartridge ROM. All you have to do to play these is select one of the C/D/G files. Classic99X should be able to locate all of the appropriate pieces and put them together. Be sure to select "Cartridge" as the image type during game configuration. Due to this strange naming, there is not currently any formal support for ZIPped cartridge images. You should use the uncompressed BIN files instead. How to Use Disk Files --------------------- Place your disk files in the \DISKFILES directory. Select one of the disk files and choose "Program File" as the image type. This will also automatically generate some text that can be pasted into the emulator that will assist you in running the program file you selected. After configuring the game, you will enter the emulation. You can select regular or extended BASIC. Once the BASIC selection is loaded, go to the emulation options menu (press RTHUMB) and then select "Paste Lines into Emulator" to initiate a command sequence that should launch the program. You can hand-edit these lines to be pasted if you wish. If you use a cartridge game that needs to read information off of a disk drive device (DSK1) then you can place the files it needs in the \DISKFILES directory. The \DISKFILES directory is always mounted as the DSK1 device whenever you launch a cartridge image. If you launch a disk file image, then DSK1 will be mounted as the directory in which the disk file image is located. Tunnels of Doom --------------- Tunnels of Doom is a cartridge game that needs to read information from the disk drive (DSK1). The required disk files (PENNY, QUEST, PENNIES) are already in the \DISKFILES directory. So when you launch the TunnelsOfDoomG.BIN file, it will ask you where to load from. Select #2 to load from disk and then enter either PENNY, QUEST, or PENNIES as the filename. How to Use the TI99 System -------------------------- Please consult the section "USING TI PROGRAMS" of the LoadingFiles.txt file for useful information on how to use TI99 programs.
