Corridor 99 Demo Released
Posted by Michael on 9 April 2005, 08:00 GMT

[Corridor 99]Jeff Wilcox has released Corridor 99 v1.1, a first-person shooter that seems to have a plot and structure similar to that of Doom (at least to me). Corridor 99, for the 89/92+/V200, uses the FAT-Engine that has powered so many of these amazing 3-D games. Please note that Corridor has not been tested on a TI-89 Titanium and that it is labelled as a "demo version."

Is this by any chance based on the PC game Corridor 77?

God, here I was thinking I was the only one old enough to remember it.

It was called Corridor 7, but no, I have no idea if this was based on it.

I have an 89 Titanium. I patched it with GB (4 patches applied) and it runs fine.

However I saved the game (clear key), and when I pressed enter to confirm the save and error dialog box popped-up "Protected memory violation".

Now my calc's stuck on blinking mode between the game screen and the error screen, and it can't be rebooted with 2ND-ON-LEFT-RIGHT. :( I guess I'll pull the batts out.

Despite this, the game's totally awesome. I can't wait for it to get more bugs out of the way :)

As for RAM problems, be sure to COMPLETELY reset all ram and archive everything.

After I rebooted the calc, I made some backups and then reset the whole memory. It's so refreshing. :)

Did you try holding [(-)] and [)] while putting the last battery in? (I think that clears both RAM and Flash, IIRC.)

I've heard this works, but I discovered on my own that holding ON while you pull out and put back in just one battery will always force a reset, even when 2nd-l-r-on doesnt, and it is easier than holding two buttons.

I have an 89ti and I was wondering... What operating system are you guys running? I deleted everything but PreOs and GB so I could run this, and I still didn't have enough RAM.

Delete PreOS. Reset your calculator again.

That should do it.

Just what I was thinking, except for the 86... Unfortunately, the screens on both calcs are way too small , there's nowhere near enough RAM, and the processors aren't powerful enough.

This game takes too much time... I didn't even complete the first level!

Hey, this looks like a great game, and I hope it's completed sometime, but I noticed it's not titanium tested. Well, I have a titanium and tried it... it dosn't work. Hopefully this can be fixed, because this looks like a cool game.

Patch it with Ghostbuster, then it'll work.

Awesome game, but the author wasn't joking when he said it should prolly be like the only thing on your calculator... that caching thing takes up like the same amount as the program... ugh. Sorry, this isn't staying on my calc. I had to throw out stuff just to get it to run for a second time so i could uninstall it. I'm unimprssed at that kind of thing, sorry, even though on VTI it's quite awesome.

I guess they'd have to create a whole new OS (like PedroM) for there to be enough space. ;-)

(Actually, I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to risk trying to install a new OS on my calc, though.)

Honestly, I think it takes a lot of bravery to install a TI OS onto your calc...There have been so many stupid things that they've done...

Not in my experience. The onlu problematic OS I've had was 1.15 for the 83+.

Well, I don't have a problem installing a TI OS. (I've updated my TI-89 a few times without any problems so far) I'm just a little skeptical about other third-party OSes. It depends on how easy it would be to accidentally damage the "bootloader" that allows you to reinstall the OS after a failed attempt. There was some speculation that that part is in non-rewritable ROM but some later things I read seem to reveal that's not the case. Now, I'm not really sure at all how it works.

AFAIK, Corridor 99 doesn't work on PedroM, because PpHd deliberately made FL_write incompatible with the AMS version and refuses to change this.

Actually, on the Titanium or V200, you have more than enough free FlashROM to store the game. You do need to free up all your RAM to run it though.

Okay, we have a textured raycasting engine for games (FAT Engine), we have a wireframe/flat-shaded polygon engine for games (Flatspin), but do we have a texture-mapped polygon engine for games? I sense a programming oppertunity!

I've already made one for Palm OS, but I haven't released a game that uses it yet. I could port it, because it's designed to interface with the 68K architecture found in most Palm devices...
