Re: [MSX] switching r800 <-> z80 in TP
Yup, and the stupid thing is, it checks the MSX type EVERY time a song is
started, switches to R800, and modifies the appropriate I/O routines. This
should be in some kind of initialisation routine.
I understand why there&

Mr. Boon,
If you know so well, why don't you release a proper patch then?
In fact, if you know so well, why didn't you help Raymond in the first place?

I understand why there's no such routine, because the original assembly
player doesn't have one e
Ah, yes... It probably doesn't detect the current CPU mode - instead it
detects the computer type, which is ofcourse always turboR (which it
interprets as R800) whether it actually is in Z80 mode or not.

Hi Raymond,
That's indeed a pretty good indication the problem indeed lies with the player.
I suppose you're using Kari Lammassaari's Moonblaster player for Pascal?
I took a small look at it and here's how to disable the turboR detection:
Load a Hex-Editor (DiskView on MSX will do fine) and edit

Yes. :-)

Hi Raymond,
The solution to your problem seems to be very simple:
Don't switch back to the Z80. Why would you want to switch back to the Z80
anyway? The R800 is more powerfull.
Kind regards,

What we do is the following.
R800 is running when we start or program
We load the music file
Do some graphic moves etc in VRAM to prepare the game
Switch to Z80 as we want to start the game
Start music and then the MSX hangs...
When I remove the switch to Z80 it runs fine. When I remove the

I've added th enable interrupt at the end. But everything works fine
without the music. Then when I add the music routines, it goes wrong. So
it looks like something in this music routine doesn't like the CPU to be
switched at all. Does someone have a new routine for TP to play moonblaster

You should also add the:
$fb); { ei }
after the SetCPU to keep the interrupts enabled.

We have loaded the moonblaster routines and when we switch the CPU to Z80,
it will completely hang the machine. We have found that if we do not use
this routine above, the problem doesn't occure, but we need to switch to
the Z80...
I assume you've also tested without the moonblaster routines? If i
