FlashROM 99 vs FinalGROM 99 for the TI-99/4A

In a previous video, I share my experience with the Texas Instruments (TI) TI-99/4A FlashROM 99. I like the device but is has limitations of only 141 files and lack of a directory structure. Viewers and readers were quick to point out that I should have purchased the FinalGROM 99 instead. One viewer even sent me a generous donation via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/retroCombs to cover the cost of the FinalGROM 99! This episode would not be possible without Jeffery's support. Huge Thanks! Found out why I originally chose the FlashROM 99, view my experiences with the FinalGROM 99, and along the way, watch several game and software demos (see time codes below for listing). 👍 Please take the time to like, subscribe, and support the channel using the links ↑.
