The MegaRAM was not added to BrMSX to improve game play.
Instead, I added it as a development tool.
I don't know what is your opinion, but I think it's much better to
develop programs in an emulator than in the real machine. I can compile
large files very fast in the PC, using a cross-compiler, and to test it, I
use the BrMSX fudebug (I think it's the best MSX debugger available,
mainly due to the step-by-step tracing and true breakpoints).
As a matter of fact, both "MUST" and "VIP" were 100% developed in
the PC, I just used the MSX to test the final version. Of course I
couldn't just the BrMSX mapper emulation - I don't have a real memory
mapper at home, and there's no point in developing programs for a system
you don't have.
