Hi All,

TI99Sim is a very good emulator of Texas Instruments TI99 home computer running
on Windows and Unix. The emulator faithfully imitates the TI99/4 model
(see http://www.mrousseau...ograms/ti99sim/)

Wiz-TI99 is a port on Wiz of the version i've previously ported to PSP.

Many new features have been added compared to GP2X-F100 version.
Here is a copy of the changelog :

- Cheat support !
- New background images
- Text editor to write your own comments on games
- Text editor to modify the global cheat.txt file
- Display first comment line while browsing game files
- Memory monitoring engine to find your own cheat code !
- Improve file requester with virtual keyboard to choose
sequentially rom files beginning with a given letter
- Add documentation for settings in help menu
- A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester
while selecting any file with the same name of a previously
saved game (cartridges, keyboard, settings).
It might be very helpful to recognize that game later if you
have thousand different games on your cartridges folder !

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

If you want to convert games etc ... have a look to Ti99/sim web site
for more informations (http://www.mrousseau...ograms/ti99sim/).

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public licence,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

UPDATE: A gp2x-F100 version is available here :

Enjoy,

Zx.

Wow, thank you for the cartridges. This is absolutely perfect. Seriously this was such an underrated system and you've included everything. Now to figure out how to bypass the need to use disk and tape in Tunnels of Doom. I will check into the PC version and savestates I guess.

Thank you again zx-81!

I haven't tried myself so i can't help you. Sometimes the emulator is not able to load a cartridge, the solution is then to load a previously saved state and everything goes back to normal.

Another super job.
One thing I've noticed on all of your emulators, the date (for save states) is always one month behind. (21/08 today!)
And could the full rom names be shown on the menu/option screens on your next release?
Apart from these little problems (and the weird exiting bug) another perfect emulator. :)

Any clue on what the next one will be? (7800-2600=???? ;) )
