Well, I "ever" use `-msx1', once I program too few to MSX2.
When I need MSX2, I use my turbo R (it's faster). And still the
game loaders get confused! I think fMSX may not offering an
expanded slot, but it reacts to writing at FFFFH (or some other
parameter I couldn't trace). The result is that the routines
find no RAM and locks up or finds a wrong RAM page and crashes
after loading (almost the same thing).
Continuing:

Probably because it demands a lot of time. There are lots of
megabytes there, and even so I couldn't find games like "Silent
Shadow" (I hope my mirror is still okay, or else there will be
no music player for it). I have already rebuilt some games,
which now run even in my turbo R (not in R800 mode, of course,
for most don't use the interruption and become impossible to
play).

Sorry, but my knowledge about Spectrum is very small (please,
don't tell me about it, I don't wanna know, not now). The matter
of time rises again. I have no time to learn enough about Spectrum
to get its emulators, game mirros and so on. If someone can get
its pictures and images, we could join them to the MSX versions.
But please, don't modify them, keep them as original as you can.
It's revolting to see someone's artwork destroyed by heartless
vandals. Okay, okay, I'm a bit "touchy" these days...
I have a fixed version of most games with modules available
for my "Yawara". If someone wants them, I could upload to some
site (FUNET?)...
