My Latest Video -- An inexpensive 32K upgrade for the TI-99/4A!

[- Ω - 201]

Do you have a basic TI-99/4A console?  Is it stuffed in the back of the closet because you don't want to spend a fortune to make it usable?  Well, now it can be upgraded CHEAPLY!  Put that TI to good use!

WOW.  That thing is awesome.

I don't have a TI but this makes me want to get one.

That's quite a compliment, thank you!

It's a great system. Games are plentiful and inexpensive. With this 32K upgrade, there are some really fantastic multi-carts available.

I agree it's a great system.  Actually almost every game out there is available FREE

for the downloading << HERE >>. 

 

Yes, that 32K combined with that SD card FlashROM 99 is just awesome.

In fact I'm in the process of building up a second "GAMER'S CONSOLE".  F18A, VGA to HDMI adapter, FR99 & 32K.

[RickR 11,705]

I must look into the FlashROM 99.  Off to Googlo now to learn more. 

[RickR 11,705]

So did you buy your FlashROM 99 pre-assembled?  Is it only available from the European source?

Yes, I bought mine pre-assembled from overseas because my eyes are not what they used to be.

By << CLICKING HERE >> you can sometimes buy one from a fairly local source.

 

I also got my custom 3D printed case from overseas.

[- Ω - 201]

Oh... for those of you that may have purchased on of those 32K memory expansions from arcadeshopper, there is a guy in Spain selling selling 3D printed cases to house it in now.  I'll be making a video once I receive mine.

[RickR 11,705]

Well, I purchased the 32k upgrade board, modified my speech unit (see below), and it works great!

Excellent!  Oh, BTW - there is a fantastic new game that will be released at Fest West this year that you'll be able to run with it!

[RickR 11,705]

I think I accidentally saw a preview when I picked up some parts.   

I also have the FlashROM now.  I'm totally pumped. 

[RickR 11,705]

Here's my setup.

FlashROM99, 32K and also an F18A?

[RickR 11,705]

FlashROM99, 32K and also an F18A?

No F18A.....yet

[- Ω - 201]

No F18A.....yet

 

You may get lucky!  What a coincidence that an F18A is the grand prize at Fest West this year.

[RickR 11,705]

Oooooooh!!! Nice.
