The utility disk access routines now handle large disks (those with an AU greater than 1) properly. Miller Graphics' DISkASSEMBLER that uses data outside the sector area) it should work properly. This means if you have an HFE image of a disk that uses weird copy protection (e.g. The emulator and utilities can now read data from these HFE images (write support is next on the list). The biggest change is read-only support for HxC disk images. The main focus in this release is improved disk image support. Version 0.13.0: Another set of incremental changes. The system will look for the legacy name first and, if it's not found, look for the cartridge based on a list of known SHA1 values for various versions of the TI-99/4A console. Finally, as part of this re-design, the name of the main console cartridge (TI-994A.ctg) is a bit more flexible.

If you want to upgrade these cartridges, it may be easiest to create them using the supplied setup script. dat files for the TI-99/4A console and Gram Kracker cartridges have been updated. If you're upgrading an existing install, make sure you rename any 'roms' folders you already have (~/.ti9isim/roms, /opt/ti99sim/roms, etc). Note: As part of the internal re-design, the 'roms' folder has been renamed to 'console'.

A new script setup was also added to help get a new install up and running by automatically creating a number of cartridge files required the emulator. Several new utilities were also created to help make creating and tracking cartridges easier (e.g.

Along the way, parts of the code were re-designed which allowed some new features to be added (e.g. Version 0.14.0: This was going to be a smaller release with only a few minor bugs fixed. The source package also contains the VS2015 solution and project files for building on Windows. This release also contains binaries for Windows. For a complete set of changes check here. The disk utility also has the ability to create blank formatted disk. Finally, there have been many changes to the handling of files and disk images.

The SDl version of the emulater has had the CAPSLOCK logic updated to correctly track the state of the CAPSLOCK key. The audio system was also tweaked and a better resampler was used to improve the overall quality of speech. This should result is a much more accurate sound for synthesized speech. First, the speech emulator code has been updated to use the proper lookup table values.

Version 0.15.0: This is mostly a maintenance release with small improvemnts to several areas. If you want to run the QI console, you can now type: `ti99sim-sdl -console=ti-994a-qi.ctg`

A command line option to use a specific console ROM file.

All disk images should now be readable & writeable. Note: The disk contents are not stored in the save image, so if a disk has been modified since the save was created, re-loading the save image may result in unexpected behavior if a disk operation was in progress when the image was craeted. Loading a save image will now swap cartridges and any loaded disks to recreate the setup used to create the image.

A reworked save image format (any old save images will not be usable).

Added support for numeric keypress events from joystick buttons. Most of the smaller changes are code cleanup and tweaking implementation issues, bug fixes in disk image code, updated helper scripts, and fixing several potential crashes. Version 0.16.0: This release includes a lot of small changes from the past few years as well as a few bigger ones. If you have a working copy of v9t9, instructions are included to help you create the required cartridge. Please don't e-mail me asking for a copy - I won't even bother to respond. Texas Instruments will not allow these to be distributed, so you'll need to find a way to get them yourself. Note: In order to run the emulator, you need to create a cartridge that contains the console ROM & GROMs from the TI. In the spirit of Linux and Open Source, I'm releasing the code under the GPL license. Now I've decided to try my hand at a Linux/cross-platform version.

When I got bored with that, I ported it to Windows and added sound support. Then I added graphical support for the OS/2 Presentation Manager. At first is was a simple text-based simulation of the TI. Instead of doing the smart thing (looking for an existing emulator), I sat down and wrote my own. A few years back, I thought it would be neat to be able to play my old TI games on my PC. Well, here's my contribution to the TI-99/4A community.
