[MSX] Dir as Disk in blueMSX 1.7.0
Hello, I have a question :-) Since I don't run Windows I'm currently not testing blueMSX but the latest release seems to have a dir-as-disk feature. This sounds like something I've implement in openMSX :-) Does the blueMSx takes a different approach to it then I did in openMSX, or are they rather simular? If there is any considerable difference, could the author please contact me ? I've split off my disk constructing code in msxtar, an openMSX subproject, but I would gladly exchange some ideas about on-the-fly disk emulation, and I would like to know blueMSX's dev stance on this subject. rgds, David Heremans -- openMSX - the open source MSX emulator that aims for perfection http://openmsx.sf.net/ ___ MSX mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx

My VG8020 could hardly read some tapes, while the same tape used on a Sony would load without a glitch.

Important news (especially for Tilburg visitors :-)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE There is a new MSX emulator in town! Last couple of months, several people have been working on a brand new MSX emulator, called openMSX. It has been build from scratch, based on some new concepts regarding communication and synchronisation between the various processors in the MSX. The new approach towards the internals of a real MSX has resulted in an architecture that allows high accuracy, and has a modular and object oriented design. Due to modularity and the open source filosophy it is much opener to new developers and contributors then the other emulators. It's first public showing will be at Tilburg 2002, this Saturday 20th of April. This project is probably the first jointly developed MSX emulator and this approach has already paid of. In less then the year that the project has been launched we have already a lot of hardware emulated; Z80, MSX2 vdp, PSG, SCC, MSX Music, MSX Audio, ... Although the current emulator isn't perfect, it is has the potential to become so. The internal structure with its connector/plug-in structure allows for independent development of new features and easy run-time switching of joysticks/mouses/printers/disks/roms/vdp-renderer etc. There are still glitches in openMSX and the rewrite towards pixel perfect is still going on, just as the DAC sound isn't completely perfect but we are getting there. A lot of stuff can be emulated already that has never been emulated before: * Moonblaster stereo * multiple SCC's (up to eight is no problem) * the scope part of Unknown Reality works (Although there are glitches) * interlace as in a normal or 100Hz-TV mode * full-screen support / openGL support / ASCII art output * correct sound pitch even if the emulation is to slow You'll definitely hear more about this project in the near future. David Heremans PS: If you find a stand at the Tilburg fair with people only running old MSX software, that could be us ;-) -- Never assume malice when results can be explained through incompetence? -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- In the case of M$, the distinction can be a difficult one to make -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

I would like to put all Microsofts code under GPL so that every body can see that their code is (probably, almost certainly) crap as well, but I'm as much entitled to do that as Yokoi can changes Marats original license.

It has been rebuild from scratch, based on some new concepts regarding communication and synchronisation between the various processors in the MSX. This new communication and synchronisation model will eventually lead to a (near) perfect MSX emulation. Current plans are that the first developers version will be released around Tilburg MSX fair. Also note that the current developers all are Linux based ( in fact up until now the entire project is) We hope that eventually many emulator and other developers will join the project to make this the best MSX emulator that has ever existed or will ever exist on the planet. The new project seems to be able to compete (and certainly win) against MSXPlayer. Fortunately for us, the US laws are not applicable outside the US. Though, there are currently big lobby actions ongoing to get the same kind of legislations approved in for example Europe. Don't know the situation in Japan. The main drivers behind the lobbying are the same parties. E.g., they want to try to get the microsoft digital management rights (MDMR) mandated by law. In the extreme, they want to achieve that all electronic devices sold in future must contain MDMR system and are not allowed to play/display contents that is not MDMR protected... Not to mention the 'policeware' they intend to force upon user with the SSSCA Yes that is 3 S's, one more then that other well known two letter S thingy from 40-45. Hip hip hoeray for the US of A. Here is a little quote from userfriendly.org This in from Eric Astor: I would greatly appreciate it if you would post this important piece of news. There is a serious threat to the freedom of Americans to use computers... it is called the SSSCA, a proposed bill backed by the media companies to force all digital devices to have a security device, or policeware, installed. This would restrict what can and cannot be done with any computer, PDA, etc. Also, this bill would make disabling the policeware component a federal crime, with fines up to $50,000 for a first offense and up to $100,000 for a second offense. This would affect technology everywhere. Even Intel and Microsoft are opposing this bill, along with nearly every other technology company that's ever heard of it.

Name the game...
Hello, I've been tinking about this old msx1 game for a few days now, But I'm unable to recal the name of the darn thing :-( It plays like Time Pilot from Konami, only it had some great classical music (especially during the intro). If I recal correctly you started during WW1, then moved on to WW2 then the korean war (helicopters) then jets and then ufo types of planes In between the stages it had a short animation, like the plane landing, the pilot getting out and run behind a cactus to tinkle and then take of again. Also it took ages to load from the tape. Anybody knows the name? (and where to get the game for download ??)

(1) How can I check in my program if it is running on an emulator or on 'the real thing'? On a real good emulator you can not test that. On the more imperfect emulators you could test flag behaviour of some Z80 codes. Especcially the 'not used' bits in F register could give an indication The only real good test I can think of now is using a loop and see how long the horizontal retrace can be read from the status registers in the VDP. Or more complicated to emulate correctly (but also to program as a test...) do some VDP command that copies the VRAM in the sprite area to some other spriteVRAM area (while the sprites are turned on) during this command write via the out ports other values in the source vram. Since this vram is often used (by the vdp-command,the displaylogic and the out-commands) the real msx-vdp sometimes doesn't have a change to write the value from it's buffer to the vram before your cpu places a new value in this internal writebuffer. Afterwards check if all values you have written are in fact in the vram. If they always are perfectly there, then you are probably running on an emulator. (2) Which emulators support (all) undocumented Z80 instructions? I shouldn't be surprissed Sean has patched the Z80 in the MAME/MESS project fMSX definietly doesn't have them.

What frequently asked questions could this section have?: -Can I connect my MSX to every TV made? Yes and No. It Depends on the output connectors your MSX provides and on the TV systems supported by your MSX and TV. For MSX1 computers: these models are fixed to operate either in NTSC or in PAL. You television must support the coding that your MSX1 is transmitting. Yes for the MSX2 and higher machines, but you must have the correct connectors . Also if your TV is PAL and your machine boots in NTSC (or vice versa) the startup logo will be "scrambled". Once you enter Basic you need to type (blindly) VDP(10)=vdp(10)xor2 to togle between PAL and NTSC output from your MSX. If you use scartconnections the timing signal is suplied troughthe scart and the TV will display both NTSC and PAL without problems. Hmm, this question is too general, I think. -Which MSX computers can be used with both PAL/NTSC systems? An MSX1 is either PAL or NTSC. An MSX2 (or higher) can be used with both. See above. -Are there PAL and NTSC versions of MSX cartridges? No. But some cartridges for MSX2 put the VDP in NTSC mode, meaning the refresh frequency goes to 60Hz. Some old tv's can't handle this. Most cartridges leave the MSX in its original (booted) state. So you can switch the PAL/NTSC and soft-reboot the machine (only if you have a switch or other save way of disabling the cartidge during the first boot. Never insert a cartridge in a running MSX!) -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Vampire Killer Who is willing to make: - There are these exteriour stages (one of them is the one with the endless fall) on one of the screens you need to jump form one block to an other while some medusa heads (I always thought it were fish) try to knock you off them resulting in dead. Who sends me some screen shots ? If possible 3 shots when he is using the wip. One screen shot were the wip is already behind him but still thouging the ground, at the moment were the wip is fully extended and the picture in between. SD snatcher Who is willing to make: - pictures from the intro demo were gilian is running after the snatcher. - a screenshot of the title and the snatcher which comes peeping above it. Penguin adventure. Who is willing to make: - a screen shot of the middle of the game, when he reached the apple-tree and holds up the apple that fell of the tree. - a screenshot of the penguins leaning against the guards-statue and thinking about a beer. hardware pictures? - Any suggestions which hardware should be integrated in the picture ? Maybe a Turbo-R or an NMS8245 or the FMPAC and MusicModule cartridge, or something bizar like the bar-code reader or the graphic tablet? Benelux stuff. - The debugscreen of compass for nestor aka konamiman. - Could somebody make a nice screen shot from moonblaster or the FAC soundtracker? -Should the Snout be in it somewhere? picture gallery from MCCM ? -Does anybody know were I can get some pictures of the little robot -mascote that was used in MCCM?

I'll give my 2 cents as well :-) - The data is 'protected', for example it's simply not possible to have double entries (based on several fields) Primary keys on multiple collums could be nice. - References can be made The format doesn't support references for the moment. Otherwise I would classify this as a simple filter (ex. asking Pippols and refering to all other MSX1 konami games of the same year) - Updates are absolutely without problems (nothing can be forgotten) if you set all your columns to NOT NULL, however some fields are problematic. What if you have the name and genre of game but can not find the producer, does this mean that you prefer no entry instead of an incomplete one? - fields can be added without worries Depends on DB. besides isn't that why we standarise the format. Fields adding/removal is a new version of the standard. - parsing of data is not necessary, db software does it - filtering is a piece of cake and very extensible - sorting is easy (even on multiple fields) *Any* db system is good enough if it supports SQL statements. Mirroring/replication is hi-tech databasing :-) and only available with real database engines (even multiple updating nodes) exporting and importing is normal business and always well supported No, wrong. Look at the dreaded date field. Almost every vendor as a different way of specifying how to insert date into it's DB system. this means that import/export script generating is DB dependend. Besides talking about dates, if an american writes 2/1/2001 he means the first of februarie, an european thinks it is second januarie 2001, and a japanese program will complain because it thinks it is year two month februarie day 2001. Need we to specifie a date format for the MSX game format ?? Presenting data has nothing to do with storing data. Using a any server side script you can access a database and retrieve filtered list (on the fly) There are also free hosting sites with scripting. Linux, Unix, Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 are possible platforms Database software like MySQL, Postgress, DB/2, Informix are available for free download (not the super computer versions ;-) I understand the 'feeling' of having text files and drag and dropping them around. But it shouldn't be the argument not to use a database for structured data. I would like the format to be verry MSX aware. I would like to use it (unchanged) on a real MSX. SQL on MSX isn't done yet. So therefore i prefere that the baseformat is flat text, MS(X) -dos style (so CRLF ended.) David -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

I agree. Also, if we're going to make the format as simple as possible, by removing all the redundant tags, then we can also remove the GameID tag. After all, GameID=penadv is not needed when the only .ini file inside the package is "penadv.ini". The GameID can be retrieved from the filename at no cost. And what about that paralax game 'ARC' that needs a rom-cartridge+disk. there you will find the ROM inside the package but also a disk(that contains the game.

So do all emulator's have a bug in the memory handeling ? Or does nobody know how a real MSX handles those ROMs ? Because if a emulator can detect it also, I only have to choose a ROM file, and not a type. Or am I complete wrong ? Simply put, your MSX doesn 't know how to handle them! All the memory handling is don inside the cartridge , by the chips on the PCB. What the emulator progranmmers have to do in this case is not to emulate only an MSX. The numbers of Sean Young are actually emulating parameters to emulate the right cartridge-electronics. As far as the (real or emulated) MSX are concerned they just ask the cartridge: "Give me the byte on location X" or "write byt X to location Y". once this command enters in the cartridge, it is the cartridge who (unvisible for the MSX) starts to do all kind of memmory handling on its own. To emulate that game you need to emulate a) an MSX b) a cartridge. The whole discussion about the memmory handling here has been how to emulate the cartridge, and not the MSX. For end--users however this can be rather confusing ofcourse because they just see the total picture and not the two (seperate) devices that are emulated.

Re: Msx boot time
and the beep is heard between step 2 and 3 - ROM internal and in cartridge slot search, executing the initialization routines if present in the rom (again, nicely documented in the MSX Red book) any initialization routine can take some time dependent on the purpose of the cartridge. BEEP here - if a (floppy) disk rom is found (always on MSX2) then the disk rom initialization routines will start with checking if a disk is present, checking disk type, whether it is a MSX-DOS bootable disk, AUTOEXEC.BAS present etc. This will lead to a time out if no disk is present and then just the basic prompt will appear. Because the diskrom is produced by a manufacturer and the hardware attached (floppy disk controller) may be different the time spent can vary widely.
