Hi folks!
Last weekend something really strange happened! I tried a disk got from
someone with the game "Heroes of the Lance" on it. It was on the disk as a
cracked ROM. After some intro-shit the loader started to load the ROM in the
memory-mapper. But after loading it crashed. No big deal you'll think. But
then! THen I pushed the reset-button of the MSX and the screen became black.
Normally, the screen would turn blue now and the MSX(2)-logo would appear. But
NO! NOthing happened! THe screen stayed as black as it could be! After pushing
the power button twice (computer off and back on) the MSX booted as normal....
You'd say: ah, that's just a bad cracking causing the MSX think there's a
cartridge in the memory (mapper). But then the MSX-logo would appear and after
this the MSX would crash or reset again.
This phenomena only occured to me before, when I had a little piece of tape on
the cartridge-connector of my Music Module (I believe that's the protection
for badly inserting cartridges). But it never occurred with software.
Can anyone explain to me how this is possible? (To emulate a badly placed
cartridge??)
Thanks for your answer! (By the way: no, there was no badly placed
cartridge...)
Another thing: how can I save my game in RuneMaster II?
Grtjs, Manuel
