About Droid 99

Texas Instruments TI-99/4A System Emulator

Check out the website:
www.ericlorimer.com/droid99/

Original TI-99/4A emulator. Emulates the VDP (graphics), CPU, keyboard, joystick, sound and one 180K disk drive. Enough to bring you back to 1981. Working cartridges: Demonstration, Parsec, TI Invaders, many others. A few known bugs but should be functional. Developed and tested on a Toshiba Thrive and a 2012 Nexus 7. Other devices should work with varying levels of performance.

Source code is available on github:
https://github.com/elorimer/droid99

The included ROMs are distributed *WITH* permission from Texas Instruments for use with this emulator.

Enjoy!

Awesome job, glad to see interest in this system! Tunnels of Doom needs to be able to load quest and pennies files to be playable and better controller layout ftw! Samsung Galaxy S5

All the writing is strange, like its upside down/backwards?

M70%
by M####:

Emulates the garbled screen you would get when a cartridge wasn't read correctly. Other than that, it's unusable. Shame.

Does not display properly, everything is garbled on every device I've tried it on.

Great idea but latest Android stops it working properly. Please sort it. Would be happy to pay for this app if it worked.

Unintelligible text makes this unplayable.

V70%

The graphics are all scrambled. Text is unreadable. Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop. Author appears to have abandoned. Update: running Marshmallow on a Galaxy S6 Edge and still doesn't work. Graphics got even worse. Still now support from dev.

Z70%

This is pretty much unusable on a 2013 nexus 7 with latest os. Text is unreadable and graphics are a bit messed up.

Viva Texas Instruments!!! I grew up with this computer!!!

by R####:

Wow... this is what I always wanted: A portable TI computer that wasn't in a big laptop. My Android tablet has a 10" screen and this emulator running in "landscape-mode" yields about an 8.5" screen - more than adequate for the display of a 99/4A computer! I was super-excited to see "Tunnels of Doom" in the cartridge list, but what about the load-file of the game to play on it? It isn't complete without it. How do I go about getting the load-file transferred from the TI format (or from a PC) into this emulator? Also, I would like to see "TI Adventure" added to the list (I'm sure Scott Adams would allow it, just ask him), but we would also need the game files, too! "Return To Pirate's Isle" would be another great addition - and it doesn't need an additional game-file to play. Keep up the great work! If you make improvements for working with more devices or newer Android OS's... please don't break what is working on what I currently have!!! :-)

lollipop broke it!! up until that point i was reliving my heyday of being a mouse running away from giant floating cat heads. i keep coming back every month or so to see if there's a fix, but nothing yet.

L70%
by L####:

used to be pretty good. but on new devices the screen is reversed or backwards. not usable now. needs to be updated for newer devices or newer Android.

K70%

I'm glad to finally have a TI99 emulator. Works great! *Although seems broken since I updated to lollipop. Hope it's fixed soon!

Worked perfectly until I installed the update to Lollipop... 5.1 features scrambled graphics and an unusable emulator...

C70%
by C####:

Doesn't seem to work on newer versions of Android. Is this project abandoned? The author never responds to reviews and his site is down.
