    YouTube says video unavailable?
    Is HDX still worthwhile with TipiPEB?

    Sure, you can do that. I think it would be cool.
    Say, isn't there anything on here about the Dragon's Lair port for the TI99 by Tursi? I thought there was something about it on Atari.io. It looks pretty impressive, from what I have seen. Thanks for letting me share. :O)

    Woah, looks like I dropped the ball!  It's time for a new program!  This one is called FLYING SHARK.  I warn you all now, it's addictive as heck, so play at your own risk!

    Keep them coming, please.  I must have missed this post originally, but I see it now.  I don't have any TI homebrews, and I will give these a try.  I do have the SD card cartridge for TI, so these are most appreciated.  Thanks! 
    I've mentioned in other posts, but I'm super pressed for space at the moment with the whole family back home during the pandemic.  One "special" system out at a time.  Right now, it's the Odyssey 2 (and I put away the Commodore 64 to make room) for the "Attack of the Timelord" high score challenge.  I was going to do the Atari 5200 next, but it's so dang big.  Maybe I'll get the TI out next instead.

    Here is a NEW game that took a few years to develop, that was released last Christmas.

    I'd like to upload the PDF manual shown above, by this site will not allow me to upload a 12.6 megabyte file.  Sorry.  Anyway the game can be played in Classic 99 or put onto a FlashROM or FinalGROM.

    Yep, this is going to be a work along (with you) project!  So far what you see is what we have for the front cover.  Let make a cool retro-style TI-99/4A catalog with things available today.  So, we need some graphics and ideas for the empty space below... anything you would like to see added to the cover?

    Some of you TI'ers may still run 3.5" drives, but Texas Instruments only made sleeves for 5.25" floppies.  Sadly the TI was commercially extinct when 3.5" drives started to dominate.  So, what is a guy supposed to do when he wants some nostalgia and love for his 3.5" mechanical storage device?  It's simple really, make your own and share it with the world!  The attached PDF file below is sized perfectly for the smaller disks, just print it up, cut it out, fold it and glue it.

    I’m going to try to put an 8-ball inside mine. 
     
    retrobrite: This process removes oxidized fire retardant from plastics. That’s what causes the yellowing. I doubt pool cue balls have fire retardant in them. Extremely doubtful retrobriting a cue all will do anything. Cue balls are not made of computer console plastic material. Cue balls have zero potential to burst into flames.
    As for retrobriting causing rapid re-yellowing...uh, nope. I use the 8-bit guy submersion method with peroxide from Sally’s beauty supply and no items I’ve retrobrited (in five years) have re-yellowed or become brittle. 
     
    I can’t speak for different methods.

    I have one of these cables. It supports the speech module but not the firehouse/PEB. System locks up and screams when I try it.
