Texas Instruments TI99 4A Emulated in Mame

Emulated by Mame 264 A look at the emulation of the TI99 4a in Mame
just about every game gets stuck in memory so it needs a hard reset F2 + F3
but to access keyboard need to turn on UI controls enabled
Was running ti99 4 not ti994a so more games worked! like Donkey kong

Mameui 264 was used as its already set up, you may have better results for some games with different versions of mame, as you can see some games didn't seem to work in 264
but I used ti994 not ti994a :)
because of a hard reset F2 + F3 being needed save states may not work

Never had one but did have the chance to play it at friends house(Yahtzee, hunt the wumpus, munchman) & Woolco as they had one on display you could play
and Parsec was in it
Its nice to be able to play these classics through mame again

its a computer, so a full keyboard is needed for emulating correct, hard reset F2 + F3 and page scroll to enable UI
my keyboard doesn't have that button so changed it to / to turn on/off ui and enable they keyboard

From the Wiki
The TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A are home computers released by Texas Instruments in 1979 and 1981
Based on Texas Instruments's own TMS9900 microprocessor originally used in minicomputers,
the TI-99/4 was the first 16-bit home computer. The associated TMS9918 video display controller provides
color graphics and sprite support which were only comparable with those of the Atari 400 and 800 released a month later.
The TI-99 series also initially competed with the Apple II and TRS-80.
