Well then I think they don't detect the FM-Pac right. Maybe it DOES work
with internal FM-Pac orFM-Stereo-Pak... Alter Wars 2 has got FM-Sound on my
computer...

Yup. Normally a game using SCC doesn't need to detect the slot where it's
in, for that's the current slot the ROM is working from. However, in a crack
the current slot is the slot of the memory-mapper, which hasn't got a SCC
built-in. So the person who cracks the game has to make a SCC-detection
routine himself. And those in most cases can't handle secundary slots. The
Solid Snake-crack was just a very good one which supported seundairy slots.

Why don't you try??? Depends on the type of slotexpander. Mine is too slow
to handle the interface, but maybe a newer one can handle your
SCSI-interface. As I said, just try.

Yeah... dunno. I think the electronics lower the sigal on the sound-in
pin... Indeed strange thatso many things on MSX give a too soft audio-sound.
Korean FM-Ship and Philips Music Module for example.
