You should fly (quickly, before the shooting begins) to the very front of the monster and then a little up and forward, to end between the monsters "main torso" and the upper (or lower) red-ball-gun. When you go there and position your option in front of the monster, then when you start shooting the rays will whizz by your rear, and the red ball -guns won't shoot at all. It's quite precise with the positioning though. I discovered it actually when I completed Nemesis 2 (whose final boss this was). BTW did you know that the lightning-ray only starts shooting once you have shot at it first? Thanks for the infos, if you have anything else we'd like to hear it.

And if you have travel-around missiles, this is very nasty, because long time after you have shooted, these missiles reach the ray gun and it shoots again.

Re: Illusion City on MSX2 machines
I ran Illusion City(IC) in Turbo-R's Z80 mode. How? Easy, on Mega SCSI's FD emulation I can change CPU mode pressing Z (Z80) or R (R800) when a disk "change". People is so slow, very slow, you can sleep playing! Without jokes, the music and animations ran in normal speed but the characters move is boring, is like a MSX-emulator! But in MSX running at 7Mhz the game can be more playable. Well, that was the idea. And besides, the code is really written POORLY. I think I might be able to optimiye some things. However, I have to be careful with that. I will first try to get it working. ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Would a GameBoy emu for MSX be possible?
I wonder: would it possible to make a GameBoy emulator for MSX? I know it also has a Z80... Maybe it will only work on 7MHz or Turbo R, but would it be possible? Hmmm, maybe like Mission, which patches the Coleco ROMs so they can be run in MSX. No no no!!! The GameBoy processor is NOT a Z80, so this is NOT possible!!! ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Illusion City on MSX2 machines
I wonder everybody is talking about Illusion City for MSX2 machines but even when it's running on a MSX2 machine lots of us still can't understand what it's about, So my question is: Is it going to be translated aswel or is it going to be just an msx2 version One thing at a time. First lets get it working, and maybe a translation later. That's a completely different part of the program, you know. Not part of the Illusion City BIOS, like memory mapping and Z80/R800 switching/detection. ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: PopCom algorythm...
can anyone supp;y me with the algorythm of the PopCom compression method?? (I have the sources, but hey, i just don't feel like dissing it, cause i think i'll miss something if i do, and docs are so mucj easier! ;)) Contact Paragon, they use POPCOM compression in DOME. ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Illusion City on MSX2 machines
Where can I get a version that supports slot 3-2 ? Or.. What do I have to patch to make it use slot 3-2 ? Aargh!!! Wait, please! I'm working on it! by the way, If you have a 256k or larger mapper in slot 3-2 Illusion City already supports it. ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Would a GameBoy emu for MSX be possible? Yes! On GFX9000!
I wonder: would it possible to make a GameBoy emulator for MSX? I know it also has a Z80... Maybe it will only work on 7MHz or Turbo R, but would it be possible? According to Collin van Ginkel (now developing on GameBoy) it should be possible with a GFX9000. If anyone would like to try and write such an emulator, you can contact him for all technical docs! He is right. However, maybe it is a better idea to just 'recompile' some GameBoy-games, instead of emulating them... Just like those recompiled Konami-games for the PC... Emulating it soo much processor-sensitive, especially because the GameBoy uses a non Z80-compatible processor (however is also uses memory-mapped I/O, which makes it easier to emulate... Will anyone try to beat this challenge? Maybe sometime in the future, when I've got a Gfx9000... ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Ademir and Mices...
About pinout of MSX Mice (source: Laurens Holst) "1 data b0 (in) 2 data b1 (in) 3 data b2 (in) 4 data b3 (in) 5 +5V (out) 6 trigger 1 (in) 7 trigger 2 (in) 8 strobe (out) 9 ground" (...) The MSX Mouse sends 2 signed bytes to the computer, X and Y. This byte must be added to the current X and Y location, so it is a relative movement. So X=0 means X is the same, X=1 means X=+1 and X=255 means X=-1. This is very easy to implement, however it poorly supports mouse speed control, because it's a digital signal. Well, anyways, those 2 bytes are transferred in 4 parts. The computer reads pins 1-4 four times, afterwards signalling the mouse to ready the next 4 bits by complementing pin 8." Addition to this: you need to wait a while between to readouts before the mouse has the next set of bits ready... I will mail more info as soom as I'm home (at least, when I don't forget). About speed control, you can use Nyyrikki's "mouse driver" to adjust speed, accelaration and acceleration speed. ??? Hmmm... definately have to take a look at that. ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: MSX-DOS 2 (not compatable with DOS1??)
As you might know, TeddyWareZ is doing a project called SCC-BLAFFER NT.. I use all BDOS routines, so I thought it would work with a DOS2 cartridge inserted.. But it doesn't... Is the BDOS in DOS2 different then the BDOS in the MSX itself?? I just don't get it, cause I don't have experience whatsoever using DOS2. I thought it would be downwards compatable.. Is that *NOT* true?? And how can I get things going using DOS2?? I use all the BDOS routines which refer to writing and reading blocks. (not the sector part.). So can someone please tell me how to get things going, and maybe even supply me with some good docs about DOS2??? The BDOS-routines are the same, but memorymapping has to be done using the mapperroutines instead of direct I/O in Dos2 (however, if you have allocated mapperpages then you can also use them with direct I/O. However, you must set them using the mapperroutines before executing any BDOS-calls. I can give you some more info if you'd like to... ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!?

[Phoenix] suggestion
Hi! An idea for a part of the Phoenix homepage... I would like to make it... 'Printerport' standards: There have been made several devices to connect to the printerport. It would be easy if a program would be able to autodetect them. In the case of one-way communication devices like SiMPL this is possible by connecting one of the datapins to the status-pin. Then every device can be given an ID-number, which corresponds to the datapin connected to the statuspin. I suggest 2 standards: ID0 Modified SiMPL (D/A convertor) ID1 Knightrider device (8 leds display or alike) All new IDs must be requested at Phoenix. Bidirectional devices can't have an ID, they must implement another way. Experimental or single-user (private) devices shouldn't have an ID either. If an ID is for some reason really nessacary then ID7 can be used. However, before publiciying the scheme it should request a new ID at Phoenix. About printers, as long as the program keeps its hands off the strobe-bit the printer won't print anything... Does anyone know how to autodetect a printer??? Guess that's not possible. If nothing is found then a printer or an unmodified SiMPL can be assumed... The program should ask the user. I heard about a MIDI-devide on the printerport... Does it exist??? Isn't it confused with the Joystick MIDI??? ~Grauw _ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com MSX Mailinglist.
