I've thought about this before, so now is a good time to ask.....
If you can have 48k with out banking, does that mean you can do 48k bank switching and if so can you do that as a sidecart like the couple that do exist? Seems like if sidecarts could have access 48k at once then someone would be able to make anygame that the MSX series runs. They all just need more memory cause they all run in full bitmap mode.

48k blocks over 8k blocks would really be alot room and easier to program for.

This forum keeps taking little dives towards the yahoo group mentality. This is a programming forum for people to learn and experience the Ti99 in. Using BASIC, XB, GPL, FORTH, ASSEMBLY, or anything else. We need no, "MY WAY IS THE BEST WAY" or "YOU WAY IS TERRIBLE" flame wars on here.

We want a friendly open enviroment that the TI has NEVER had to expand the quantity and quality of the programs available for the TI. A place where beginners and experienced can come and share and learn and teach the ins and outs of the TI. It's a very unique machine that has quarks that make it so much fun to learn about and try to over come.

I bought a 3.5 inch drive from tex-in treasures last year, just plugs on to the disk controller card on the expansion. Have not tried to transfer from ti to pc or vise versa but that was my intentions. If I remember it was only about 30 dollars.

Wow, it's the same old issues that have come up so many times in the TI's history. A few of my things are in the GB and I was never asked for permission, Permission is assumed as I have posted them to this site or other sites. It is up to me to author of said material to send a Cease and Decease Notice to indicate my intent that they not be included.

Roms are always iffy to say the least, Atari, Nintendo, and Sega use to actively fight to remove work from the ROM sites on the internet but they don't anymore. The only stuff actively protected are newer works that are still generating income. Now that nowhere means that someone can put all of the old NES ROM on a disk and sell that disk. Cause at that point you are generating income from intellectual property and the owners of said property are due their share and with out an agreed upon arrangement with the owns you have no contract for what you are doing.

As far as compiling stuff that is already on the web and putting it in one location to make it easier to get to, as long as no profit is coming from it, there is no problem cause said creator or owners of said work have not actively tried to remove the property from the web. As long as GB includes a contact for the right owners to contact the creator of GB and have the stuff removed if contested then there is no problem.

I would be totally against this if he had made GB and said here it is, 50GB of TI stuff, If you want it send me $XX for it. But he didn't. I am sure as long as he removes any work when contacted there will be no problem. It has been, and still is, up to the owners of intellectual property to protect it. If no one comes forward to do that it can be considered abandonware. Again it is no smart to try and make money from abandonware cause any onwer that sees money being made from their work can sue for it and will when as long as that work is still under the copywrite.

I'm sure some will disagree and that is fine, But I'm pretty sure everything I said is correct. Only because, as I can tell, he collected stuff already available on the web and compiled it for free and he has contact info available so people can contact him and contest it if they so choose.
