Yes, the Final GROM will run images up to 1 megabyte in size. It will work on the beige QI units that Texas Instruments disabled third party cartridges from working on. Since it supports GROM, it also runs more sophisticated software that the FlashROM cannot. It also allows for hundreds more programs as it allows for subdirectories. I find it's kind of nice to organize things and not shove them all into one directory.
One example is a new program in development...
Thank you, that is actually very good info. I think I need to invest in one of the 3d printed cases for the 32k sidecar. It's good to have a recommendation from someone you trust.
Yeah, sorry. The video was 5 years old and out of date, so I deleted it. However since the FlashROM was effectively been replaced with the FinalGROM, the best I can do is give you this link: https://corei64.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=72_73 which in my opinion has the BEST 3D printed for the TI-99/4A that there is.
Those little amiga controllers are a huge improvement over the standard TI sticks. Although they are quite small.
Parsec is a really good game, especially if you have the speech unit. It's got such high-res graphics and smooth scrolling. It's impressive.
If you ever get a multi-cart for it and a 32K expansion, you'll be able to play quite literally HUNDREDS of free games. That's a lot of bang for the buck!
ATTENTION:
As of 02/25/2021, 100% of these files are linked to and reside on another site of a list I created and had been maintaining for quite a number of years. For ethical reasons, I no longer hang out there, so I decided to bring my list here so I can still maintain it for other TI'ers to use and enjoy. If you submit a new file for the list, I'll be more than happy to link to it.
NOTE: FinalGROM only files are listed near the bottom of this entry.
FlashROM 99 Compatible Files
Last update: 2/17/2023
STARTER PACKS
There is a link to a rather large starter collection of files OFF-SITE at WHTECH, the files were compiled by the creator of the FlashROM99. For these files, please <<CLICK HERE>>, it's easy to overlook.
If you are running a TI without a 32K memory upgrade in one it's various forms, you'll probably want to download the nice 'Starter Pack' compiled by TI user 00WRex. It's available << in message #12 of this thread >>.
There are lots of files for the FlashROM 99, and it's very easy to lose track of all the programs! If there is something you've not been able to find (like a Rasmus game) be sure to check the starter packs!
There is also package for the FinalGROM 99 for that link, << CLICK HERE >>.

Hey, thank you for bumping this back to the top. You have a very nice setup.
I've had an upgrade since 2017.
Current specs:
Intel Core-i7 7700k (4.2 Ghz), 4 cores, 8 threads
32 GB DDR4 memory
512MB SSD
3.5 TB hard drive
AMD Radeon R9 285 (2 Gb)
It has served me well, no complaints. I will post a pic of my desk top from far away. That's my COVID setup (work from home). My PC is on the left, and a laptop (in a docking station) uses the two monitors on the right.
I just found this thread, so I thought I'd pile on...
Main PC is a Dell XPS Desktop with 32GB RAM, the video card is an Nvidia GForce 1060 with 6GB, the CPU is an Intel i7-8700 @ 3.22 GHz 6 Cores 12 Threads.
Storage (over three drives) comes to about 12TB.

I currently have two TI systems setup in the den. These photos were taken about 10 minutes before the timestamp on this posting.
System #1: Main Unit
This system has been modified and expanded a little. The console has an F18A and a PS/2 keyboard enhancement internally. The P-Box holds a 1Meg SAMS card, TIPI with an RPi 3B+, Triple Tech Card, 80 Track Floppy Controller and a Lotharek HxC SD card storage device. I mainly use this one for scheduling, BBSing, beta testing and anything that uses 80 columns.
System #2: Gaming Unit
This unit is unmodified, I use it mainly for a small amount of gaming. This one has also become my "portable unit". It has two 3D printed sidecars, the first is a TIPI/32K running a RPi ZERO W and the second in a speech synthesizer.
