Breakout v1.3

The jailbreak has been simplified slightly in this release, invoking CALL instead of OPEN, based on the findings of senior_falcon.

Three alternative binaries:

• breakout.prg: a raw TI BASIC file.
• breakout.dsk: a disk image with the BASIC file, for emulators like Mame.
• breakout.tfi: the BASIC file in TIFILES format, for emulators like Classic 99. Emulators may require the name without an extension.

The BASIC program escapes its sandbox to run the embedded assembly code.

Breakout v1.2

The jailbreak is now location-independent thanks to the enhancements of senior_falcon, so it runs on all hardware configurations.

Three alternative binaries:

• breakout.prg: a raw TI BASIC file.
• breakout.dsk: a disk image with the BASIC file, for emulators like Mame.
• breakout.tfi: the BASIC file in TIFILES format, for emulators like Classic 99. Emulators may require the name without an extension.

The BASIC program escapes its sandbox to run the embedded assembly code.

Breakout v1.1

Three alternative binaries:

• breakout.prg: a raw TI BASIC file.
• breakout.dsk: a disk image with the BASIC file, for emulators like Mame.
• breakout.tfi: the BASIC file in TIFILES format, for emulators like Classic 99. Emulators may require the name without an extension.

The BASIC program escapes its sandbox to run the embedded assembly code.

Initial release

The game in two alternative binary forms:

• a TI BASIC program file (.prg)
• a disk image file (.dsk) containing the program file, for convenient use in Mame (mame ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot8 tifdc -flop1 breakout.dsk)

The BASIC program escapes its sandbox to run the embedded assembly code.
