Well, I am trying to control the timers on the ti8x, now. I can turn them on with
Code:


(Those are the ports, not variables, fyi.)

I know that the timer counter has the amount of ticks to count by (from the frequency), but I don't know how to get the current counter. WabbitEmu gives me nothing... Would reading those counter ports tell me what I want, or no? wikiti has nothing

So, as you know, port 0x36 is the on/off control, port 0x37 is the loop control, and port 0x38 is the timer. If you take a look at the general documentation for Port 0x30, which covers all the timer ports, you'll see that as you mentioned it doesn't say if you can read ports 0x32/0x35/0x38. I'd tend to think you can, but you are definitely encouraged to test it and post with your results (and we can update WikiTI accordingly).
