 Hi, Manuel:
 
  MB Also, my crack of R-Type doesn't work with FM-PAC... It's just
  MB ignored.
 
 Well  It isn't due to the crack version. The original R-Type has a bug in
 the MSX-Music ROM detection. It looks for a string that is not contained insi
de
 every MSX-Music ROM.
 
 Martos made a great R-Type crack, and patch the routine that looks for the
 FM-Pac. This version works perfectly on any MSX Machine with almost 128KB of
 mapped RAM.
 
 If you wish, I can send it to you.

I still didn't get it! Neither Firebird crack that doesn't slow down...
 


Grtjs, Manuel

You can't detect MSX-MUSIC using I/O ports, because all of its ports are
write only.

ALL of them? Not even some small status-register???

None that I know of.
That's why you HAVE to detect them using ROM.

Ships... Well, I prefer MoonSound.

Yes, it is. Any module with the fm-chip but without the Music-Basic or
Music-BIOS is not a MSX Music module.

Oh, well, that could be true... :)


Any MSX 2+ with internal MSX-Music has the fm-chip, the Music-Basic and the
Music-Bios. The same is true for the Korean FM-PAC and the Dutch FM-PAK.

I tried _MUSIC once but it didn't work...

It's not the FM-BASIC that's detected. It's the "OPLL" string in the ROM.

They should knowthere are lots of FM-PACs without, as well as internal
FM-PACs as Korean FM-PAC.

Only stupid hardware makers would make an MSX-MUSIC without a ROM
containing the "OPLL" string. ;)
Anyway, do those really exist?


:) yeah, stupid, ain't it? :) anyway, do Korean FM-PACs really exist? Yes.
Do FM-Pacs without FM-Basic really exist? Well I'm not so sure anymore, I
think I'll heck it out. Anyway, Korean FM-Pacs sound BAD... One is too loud,
the other too soft and all of them have a lot of noise.

Hi

 Hey!? R-Type with FM-Pac
 I have this crack really long, but never thought that
 this msx1 shooter has opl-music...

It definitely has. But if I remember correctly, it was necessary
for hearing FM-music to put the FM-Pac in one special slot.
If you put it in another slot, you 'll only hear PSG if I'm correct.

Hum, I tested my ROM in an emulator
and it failed to detect the FM-Pac.
Maybe I should try in my "real thing",
but I don't have any free slots in it.
(one has the FDC and the another may
carry FM-Pac or MegaRAM, but not both) =(

Me too =(

Maybe you can load the FM-BASIC ROM
in the lower 32Kb in the main memory
bank, like some cartridge-based game.
I don't remember how I did it, but
I'm sure it is possible. But I don't
know if it will really work and if
it won't use memory needed by the
crack.

Maybe doing a _MUSIC before running R-Type works. I don't think so, but you
can try...

Yes, it is. Any module with the fm-chip but without the Music-Basic or 
Music-BIOS is not a MSX Music module.


Any MSX 2+ with internal MSX-Music has the fm-chip, the Music-Basic and the 
Music-Bios. The same is true for the Korean FM-PAC and the Dutch FM-PAK.
