      I have a couple of carts for ti99sim for Household Budget Management and Home Financial Decisions, mainly wanted to show them to my folks for novelty's sake (we had a ti-99 when I was a kid). They were in .TiCart format. I've renamed them to .ctg and they show up in EmulationStation, but once ti99sim is loaded it only gives me option 1 for Basic. Got any ideas on what I should do?

        Nvm, I just read that .TiCart files are encrypted and can only be played in Win994a so you can't just rename them. I'll have to install Win994a under Wine to play them.

          @johne79 I haven't tried it but I bet there is probably some conversion method. Atari age has a lot of old console users that might have a better idea on it

            Managed to find them in ctg format so it's all good.

            Now I can use Household Budget Management on my MacBook, forget that Quickbooks nonsense. :P
