| By NYYRIKKI on January 01 2007, 02:11 | Hmm... Feels like stupid game... I've tried to press all the keys and I can't get any of the letters to dissappear. Maybe it is because of MSX tR. Nice music though...
| | |
| By jltursan on January 01 2007, 02:34 | um, you must type the letters sequentially...
| | |
| By NYYRIKKI on January 01 2007, 02:49 | Yeah, I tried it on MSX2 setup on BlueMSX and managed to play it... Problem seems to be MSX tR only... Actually it is not so bad game that I thought...
| | |
| By spl on January 01 2007, 05:41 | Simple... but great! I can't stop playing!

| By Edwin on January 01 2007, 13:26 | A good way to improve my typing because it includes some special characters. It would have been perfect with some other characters and numbers as well. Maybe lines from a basic listing 
| | |
| By [WYZ] on January 01 2007, 16:20 | At the main screen it's possible to select different word sets with alphanumerical characters by pressing 'select' key.
| | |
| By Edwin on January 01 2007, 16:29 | Hmmm, let me guess, rtfm?
| | |
| By [WYZ] on January 01 2007, 16:54 | yep, that means you also can increase your reading skill . Thanks for playing it.

| By DamageX on January 01 2007, 21:26 | Cool. I got 454 (on PC keyboard...)

| By SapphiRe on January 02 2007, 13:37 | Ok, I've found what's the problem on TR machines. I set CAPST (FCABH) to a value different from zero to enable caps lock. According to MSX2THB it should works (and it works on MSX1, MSX2). But it seems than in MSX2+ and TR BIOS keyboard reading is different from other BIOS.
To play the game in a MSX2+ or TR just press CAPS LOCK and kill words

| By SapphiRe on January 02 2007, 13:53 | Ok, it's not an MSX model problem... it's a Locale BIOS problem. Japanese, Arabic and Korean BIOS need to manually press CAPS LOCK. On C-BIOS seems to not work properly.

| By jltursan on January 02 2007, 16:45 | ROM -> Hexeditor -> byte index $25 -> change from $0F to $FF -> enjoy! 
| | |
| By SapphiRe on January 03 2007, 12:24 | BiFi has checked the CAPS handler for Japanese and International BIOS and it differs:
-International BIOS: different from 0 -> CAPS on
-Japanese BIOS: 255 -> CAPS on
It's easy to fix, just adding two extra bytes (ld a,255) in the correct place
