They transfer cartridges and disks over from the TI to the PC and require Editor/Assembler, Mini-Memory, TI-Writer, or Extended BASIC (or any other module which can load program-image files or TI object code), 32k memory expansion, and the inferred 5.25" TI-compatible floppy drive. þ CART, which transfers cartridges over, requires some changes to the cartridge you want to transfer. Since TI cartridges reset the computer when they're inserted, a resistor needs to be disconnected to allow the E/A program to read the memory. This process has NOT damaged any of my cartridges. Also, CART assumes a TI cartridge is inserted which does not have any complex (>16K) bank-switching in the CPU ROM portion. TI Emulator! only supports bank-switching which uses only two 8k CPU banks and are toggled by writing to the cartridge address space (as in Extended BASIC and almost all Atarisoft cartridges). þ TRANS, which transfers disk files from the TI to the PC, assumes a fully-compatible DSR which allows direct-access file input. Basically, TI's floppy drives and the emulated DSK1 on a Myarc hard drive should be compatible. TRANS only supports floppy disks that have not been copy-protected (like Millers Graphics programs). Source code for the transfer programs will be included if you want to make any changes to support other devices. A registration archive will be included on the disk which will contain: þ The LATEST version of TI Emulator! (if it has been developed enough to be considered an upgrade, otherwise maybe only a TIEMUL.EXE file) þ Programs to process output from CART and TRANS þ Program to convert XMODEM TIFILES files to TI Emulator! files þ Program to convert GRAM Kracker cartridge files to TI Emulator! modules þ All the TI cartridge transfers I have in my library, along with archives of any files included with those programs.
