FRS' patches and enhancements WIP - help needed

I'm creating this forum thread as a test to see if a more open development cycle for my patches and enhancements gets better results, and if it compensates the loose of the novel effect. As the Psycho World translation+HD version had very good results, I'll give it a try for the next projects.

I'll post here the WIP of the projects I'll be working on. Be aware that the software posted here will be in alpha stage (sometimes beta) and some of them may even be discarded on their way, or frozen for quite some time if I don't have enough free time to work on them or change my interests/priorities. Remember: this is a hobby done in scarce free time, and as a hobby, it must be fun.

This means that no project published here is by any way a promise that it will ever be completed. But I certainly hope that as many as possible do get completed and released.

Off course the betatesting will require at least some MSX tech skills and the ability to fill bug reports in a reproducible way.

I'm working on a HD+turbofix version of the English translated version of the game Silviana. I already contacted M.I.J.E.T. and we did most of the work together, but he asked me to release it separately.

Now I'm fixing some last quirks and would like some betatesters to test it. If you're interested, get the files here. Also, it will require the Fudeba Turbo Changer v1.2. Users of MSX-DOS v2.2x and v2.3x will also need the RUNDOS1 tool as the game require more free RAM than those DOS left for the user. MSX-DOS v2.4x users don't need to use the RUNDOS1 tool.

Ok, the number of replies to betatest Silviana wasn't exactly overwhelming...

Lets try a bit more popular game: Any candidates to betatest my next project: FireHawk - HD version (turbofix included)?

I did a very productive betatest session yesterday with Sturaro and some bugs were ironed out. I'm finishing some touches and will release a beta2 version soon.

Meanwhile, it would be nice if a good soul could compile the latest version of the openMSX-debugger for Mac OS-X.

It certainly would speed up things. I'm currently using v0.1.0-dev8331, which still has some old bugs in it.

Huahuauhahua - Sturaro is the bug-finding-master =)

He always manage to find the weirdest things, no matter how good the code is
