If You want to download PSP, 38GB is correct size ;)

Go to the link above, Texas Instruments folder, then download Texas Instruments.exe. It's SFX archive (like in all of my uploads) - 410MB.

Hi Dax,

Thank you sorry I did not see the separate Texas Instrument folder in the download section ;-)

As I am using already a gamebase exe with different gamebase packs shall I install you gamebase core exe also?

Core file contains automated Gamebase installer, scripts with configurations for useful emulators in 80 GB compilations, additional automation software, manuals. If You rename Your Gamebases to names the same like in "core manual" (_scripts\manuals) - including .mdb files, change paths in .ini files (emulators.ini, paths.ini, other .ini files) to paths like .\compilation_name\ and proper destination directory for all Gamebases, then execute Gamebase_core.exe in root of main Gamebase directory (it MUST reside on root of any disk drive, like c:\gamebase, d:\gamebase, ... ) it will work with Your compilations according to core manual (window/full screen/retro/pleasure/joypads - selectable via batch).


You may also not use Gamebase_core.exe and copy Texas Instruments.exe to Your directory with Gamebases as because this compilation does not need any manual configuration.

Hi Dax,

I have extracted Texas Instrument gamebase into my gamebase folder. Launched TI99 gamebase but games will not load. Classic99 is the emulator set to be used but it will load the machine to the main screen. also there is a setting for a 320x240 resolution but it will not keep settings once the emulator is quit.
I have tried Mess emulator but same problem: game selected will not load and no full screen :roll:

Wii (Final Update)
Since now You can play Wii games with no manual configuration. All database entries for Favourite Games was configured to optimal control mappings (I hope) in all control modes. Script to switch controls inside of Gamebase now is v12, again created by GREAT .mad. He worked hard on it and finalized to very succesful state. I love YOU, man! :)

Required
For normal display and controls with keyboard only, it's enough if You download WiiUpdate.exe, copy to Wii directory then execute it. It's SFX archive.

Optional
For Zero Configuration Mode with Retro/Pleasure, Window/Fullscreen, controls with keyboard, X1/X360 pads, WIIMOTE/NUNCHUK selectable via batch and manual, download Gamebase_core.exe, copy to root of Gamebase folder, then execute.

(= n-j0y and be Happy =)

Hi Mad,

Full screen at 320x240 is working nicely now :) Unfortunately games will not load and I still get to the prompt screen where I can only choose option 1 for basic. I have tried both classic 99 scripts provided with the gamebase pack but no luck. Paths are correctly set into gamebase.
I have tried to load games built directly into classic99 and they will load.

Hi Mad,

Emulators ini is pointing to the classic99.ini file that's for sure.
I have looked into the Gemus INI file but no trace of the Send Keys command line.
The main problem I have when loading a game is that the selection is not visible at the prompt screen of TI99. I should have normally 1 for Basic and 2 for the game loaded but I do see only option 1 leting me think that the gamebase script of classic99 is not sending the correct command to load the game into the emulator.

Here below the Gemus scrit :

[global]
;# This will DELETE the MESS config file
;# and create new
;config=reset


;# Type of video mode to use.

;vidmode=gdi
;vidmode=ddraw
vidmode=ddraw

;# default cursor#1 and NumPad #2.
;# you can edit script for your own keys.

joy1=real
joy2=real

;# SID chip on - Classic 99 only.

;sid = yes


Should I had the sendkey into the gemus ini?
