Hi Bilbo, sorry to hear about you friend. This Parcheese game - do you mean Parsec? If not then can you describe the game.
-update there is a board game traditionally called parcheesi which is basically ludo, there is a couple of ludo games in the gamebase.
.mad. - the copyright issue was resolved and I've now been given permission by the author to use the game in the next release. |

Will the release be anytime in the near future or could the original gamebase be rereleased since the copyright issue has been resolved?
Searching for Parcheesi games I found Ludo in the TI99 game list, but it is in German. I was only checking for other names for the game I found in an Internet search though, and have not actually gone through the entire game list. |

| There is a *lot* of new stuff, the original GB was 2635 entries - version 2 is already approaching 3500 entries and I'm still adding new stuff, no end in sight yet but this will be the final version as I've already spent well over a year compiling this GB and hope to get a release sometime this year. |

Thats the one Ox parcheesi. A kind of Ludo but different.
Looks like i might have a looooong wait for the TI database,
but it will be worth the wait.
Thanks
Bilbo. |

| I have now exhausted all of my game resources so now it's time to add screenshots and extras to the new entries, still hopeful of adding a couple more entries which are still in development before the release, the final number of entries will be approx 3660. |

Is any possibility to force CLASSIC99 to start in full screen mode by modify "classic99.ini"

Sorry but the answer is NO.
Classic99 has a bug if you close emulator while in full screen,
it crashes the next time you load it.
The script resets the StretchMode value back to 1 to stop the problem.
Maybe Tursi will fix it for the next version.
But for now you need to select it manually (every time).  |
I came up with a fix to set fullscreen which has also been implemented in v2, simply replace the bit at the end of the Classic99 gemus script with :-
;------------------
; Run the Emulator.
;------------------
If Key_video CONTAINS(fullscreen)
Run_Emulator_Send_Keys(%{ENTER}||50)
Else
Run_Emulator()
End If
and enter new option "video=fullscreen" in the <GLOBAL> kvsets (F2) |

Hello, I tried to use this gamebase without much success, I just get the following error when I try to run a game ¨Invalid file referenced in script function.¨ When I click continue anyway, I get another error ¨This game type is not supported by this emulator! (.DSK) Supported types: BIN;DSK¨
Any ideas? |

let me guess....
you have Gamebase on a drive other than C:\
if so edit the emulator.ini and all files in the GameBase\TI99-4A\Emulators\MESS v140\cfg\ dir.
to work with your drive location.
or just put it back in the default C:\gamebase.  |

Hello,
Thanks for your help, you´re right, I´m using all gamebases in other drive path, but I´m using relative paths
| Code: |
[Emulators]
1=Classic99
2=
[Classic99]
UseShortFilenames=0
SupportedTypes=BIN;DSK
EmulatorPathFile=.\Emulators\classic99 v359\classic99gb.exe
ScriptFile=classic99.txt
UseDefaultTypes=0
WaitFinish=1
|
That is my emulators.ini, I´m just using classic99 don´t like MESS, I should change the cfg files in MESS folder anyway?
I forgot to tell that the emulator window appears, but it doesnt load anything, just open.
Thanks! |

you need MESS as well for some games.
| Code: |
[Emulators]
1=Classic99 v361
2=MESS v140
[Classic99 v361]
UseShortFilenames=0
SupportedTypes=DSK;BIN
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\TI99-4A\Emulators\classic99 v361\classic99.exe
ScriptFile=CLASSIC99.TXT
1=C:\GameBase\TI99-4A\Emulators\classic99 v361\CLASSIC99.INI
[MESS v140]
UseShortFilenames=0
SupportedTypes=DSK;BIN;RPK;GPL
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\TI99-4A\Emulators\MESS v140\mess.exe
ScriptFile=MESS.TXT
|
also you are missing the path to the CLASSIC99.INI file.
you have "WaitFinish=1" but are missing
1=C:\GameBase\TI99-4A\Emulators\classic99 v361\CLASSIC99.INI
This is for the script, and the gamebase will not work without it.
just type the FULL path (like the example shows) to your external drive. And you should get it working again. |
