TI Emulator! 4/15/1994
v5.0
written by Edward Swartz
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This file answers some commonly-asked questions about registering.
■ You will get some TI programs on a 90k 5.25" floppy disk. 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.
■ 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).
■ 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:
■ The LATEST version of TI Emulator! (if it has been developed
enough to be considered an upgrade, otherwise maybe only a
TIEMUL.EXE file)
■ Programs to process output from CART and TRANS
■ Program to convert XMODEM TIFILES files to TI Emulator! files
■ Program to convert GRAM Kracker cartridge files to TI Emulator!
modules
■ All the TI cartridge transfers I have in my library, along with
archives of any files included with those programs.

Modules that I have transferred that will be included in the
registration package:
The Attack Household Budget Management
Carwars Editor/Assembler
TI Invaders Munchman
Music Maker Parsec
Indoor Soccer Personal Record Keeping
TI Writer Tombstone City
Touch Typing Tutor Tunnels of Doom
Disk Manager II Hunt the Wumpus
Mini Memory
Note that Disk Manager II barely functions because it uses low-
level routines I haven't implemented. But hell, you'll get it anyway.
