A couple more games have been patched:

Castlevania
Cosmic Soldier: Psychic War
David Wolf: Secret Agent



Will upload on the repo soon.

Whoa, that's pretty impressive.

Those benchmark scores seem to be inline with 386DX-25 clones. That's the ultimate Tandy 1000 right there, and ultimate 16 color machine too.

This deserves a...

So is there going to be a XT-IDE + Tandy sound combined card? Never heard of that project. Who's producing it?

Thanks i made an offer.

I had made a search a few days ago and got no results.

I don't know how the expandability is on the Schneider, how many slots do you have?

OutRun does not support Hercules natively. But if you use that program, SIMCGA which AFAIR emulates CGA on Hercules, then you can launch the CGA patched binary and play. It should work.

I patched quite a few more games and added them to the repo:

Gunboat
Day of the Viper
The Game of Harmony
Les Manley: In Search of the King
PGA Tour Golf
Steel Thunder
The Third Courier...

Hi there,

i've been working on the Tandy patching project, bringing patched binaries to allow forced 3 voice Tandy sound on a non Tandy 1000 PC, via either a Tandy ISA card, or a TNDLPT parallel...

Hi!

After a looong time without any work on these i uploaded a few more patches. Added patched games to the ftp.oldskool.org repo are:

Arkanoid (Taito version)
Indiana Jones and the Last...

Still looking!

Hi everyone.

I'm looking to buy a bare Tandy 1000 TL motherboard, i want to do a few overclocking experiments with one, and probably create a guide for the ultimate 16 color machine.

Needless...

I don't think super duper awesome patches would be the goal, what we would need at least would be on short term goal, someone who knows the default IMFC/FB01 patches and select the most relevant ones...

Hello there!

So King's Quest V, Jones in the Fast Lane, Mixed Up Mother Goose and Quest for Glory 2 were the last 2 games with support for the IMFC. Well...oficially. The way the SCI engine works,...

I don't know if anyone had tested this already, but i finally got time and checked the undocumented I/O port selections.

Turns out that SW1 when in OFF OFF positions actually decodes port 2A40h...

Great job. I wish the SL would be expandable. I have to find a TL motherboard, and maybe try to do same overclocking i did with my SL, pair it with an EGA card and create the ultimate 16 color...

Thanks to Cloudschatze i finally got a pair of these drive rails.Goodbye floating 5.25" Floppy drive!

Yeah i had tried filling up 80000 - 9FFFF but in fact there's no point, that area is already filled. Filling up both A0000 up to BFFFF obviously results in a black screen, as B800 segment is reserved...

I've been looking into the Tandy 1000 SL and TL tech reference manuals. These 2 seems to pretty much the same in terms of I/O port configurations.

I've took a look into port FFEA on both the TL...

Yes this seems like a hard task. You might need to design an independent clock circuit exclusively for the CPU, there might be no way out of it.

Sometimes it seems that you're so close but it is...

Hi there.

I think you'd be better off to instead look at the schematic of the motherboard and find the trace that leads from the Oscillator to the light blue chip.

Which OSC frequency is sent...

Thank you so much for this! Now i just need to figure out the pinouts and get some compatible EEPROMS.

Hi, i'm currently using some regular AT ones, but they don't lock the drive, it's floating back and forth. I don't think any of those in the picture are Tandy either.

But thanks anyway.

Still looking for these rails!

I did try it on my SL, but unfortunately Tandy decided to cripple the SL memory upgradeability. Even with 64kb free on the D000h segment via my Lo Tech 1MB RAM expansion, i can't get enough memory to...

Congrats, amazing work! I wish there was a project to mod the Tandy 1000 SL with 768Kb of memory, like the TL and the RL. It's my only gripe with the SL, having to steal conventional memory for the...
