Looking for a ti994a layout for Mala or will take a Mamewah and convert it.
If someone could point me in a direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Yeah! That was my very first "machine". Parsec and Hunt the Wumpus were badass!
Maybe you can get Sardu to make a version of his console layouts.

You youngsters don't remember the TRS-80 Model I, do you? That was my first machine. Not a lot of fun using a tape recorder to store your programs. Always having to mess with the volume to get a good "read". Poker Pete was a lot of fun on that machine as I recall.

Yea I remember that TRS80 now was that Radio Shacks?
I had the TI99/4a also but I don't remember what happened to it.
But I liked Tombstone City and played the crap out of Alpiner and Star Trek
I got all the Batch Files made for Mala now to configure the controls with Mess.
I found a layout for Mamewah at Screenshot Archive but All the download files are empty. It's too bad too because that site had alot of Emu's set up for cab's that you could quit with an esc. key. :(

Quick one I made here if interested

Naw dung, you got it all wrong. ;)
You gotta base it off that hella-gay, day-glo boot screen.

System, That is pretty cool too.

Not meaning to get off topic here, but my very first puter was the TS-1000.

That it, we're off topic!
It seems there's always two camps with this arcade retro DIY emu stuff. I may be off as you have to usually guess people's age, being on a forum and all, but heres my observation:
There's the older crowd, the 45-55 year old group. These guys were in their teens to late-20s when the first decent machines came out. These guys were about the hardware and the coding and "guts". There was the games, too, but a computer? In the house? You gotta be shittin me, sign me up!
Then theres the "youngsters" (me). Guys in the 25-35 range who got those same early consoles for the games, or their friends had one, or whatever. Too young to really respect the significance of a computer in that time. Hell, depending on your age, it might have even come from a swap-meet or a dead relative. You know, as punishment.
There's no older-than-the-oldsters crowd, and I would have to guess it would be like me getting excited about a Nintendo DS or something. But it would've been a Tandy.
And theres no younger-than-the-youngsters crowd because they're all too busy getting excited about a Nintendo DS or something. But it's an iPhone.
So what will be like in 20 years? I will be in the oldster crowd, telling youngsters, "You thought the GameGear was sweet, d'ya ever hear of a Gizmondo?" And the older-oldsters will be complaining about the kids on the arcade, or the arcade on the lawn, or whatever it is you old-timers will talk about between hurricanes and the widow next-door.
I can see it now... "Back in my day, we only had 256 colors. And we liked it!" :blah:
(or I could be completely off-base altogether...)
:cheers:

well I am 45 and my first computer was a Vic20, it wouldnt do anything except show a cursor unless you programmed something into it, the first thing I did was draw a circle and I was so thrilled
Sad isnt it :-[
