Before you can quick jump and start using the the TI-99/A4 MiSTer Core, you have to first understand how TI-99 platform is working, otherwise you won’t have any image to try with.
First you have to have valid bios files for TI-99 platform, that you can find on the internet
Then you should have the following files by md5 sums:
ed8ff714542ba850bdec686840a79217 994agrom.bin -> you have to re-name as 994AGROM.BIN
6cc4bc2b6b3b0c33698e6a03759a4cab 994arom.bin -> you have to re-name as 994AROM.BIN
3169cfe66687d5b9ed45a69da5a12817 disk.bin
7adcaf64272248f7a7161cfc02fd5b3f spchrom.bin
Checkout pyTIrom repository, which repository will make the bios file packaging and rom file conversion to the proper formats that TI-99/A4 MiSTer core can process.
