right i m using GT version.
Those .dsk files is too big to floppy disks. Computer tells to me that need more space on floppy or something like that.
I will try to fix this problem with 512 kb memory... But it will need pation and different msx basic commands.

Ps. Long live msx

size of dsk files are only 360k or 720k

just try push the ctrl key then start GT for more memory

then push the 1 key then start you work in DOS1 mode

You can't copy dsk files to a floppy in the normal way... You have to write the image with a tool to it.

BTW, the tool to write disk images is:

  • On Windows, use Rawrite
  • On Unix and Macs, just use DD on a terminal: $dd if=diskimage.dsk of=/dev/myfloppydev

Ok. now i have got that raw write program on my win XP PC... then i have to do something... perhaps drag with mouse those unpacked msx.dsk files into it. so i think (im not sure)that msx TR can read those written .dsk files (?) i mean that when im drag .msx.dsk files to Disk manager then file change to .bin and.bas files on the way to disk manager window. and now i can written those .bin and bas files to disk with disk manager. But this Rawwrite makes better solution. it writes to me msx.dsk files so i can use those on my msx TR. am i right ? Tell me you know better than me.

Long live MSX

i have got GT 512 kb memory. 1LKSA07374
might be that some of my dsks are corrupted yes think so too that explains a lot.

yes i cantitle those games but it take a time cause i have another msx problem now so im not a gamer...

my cf card reader takes off hairs in my head cause i cant use it... only msx basic not that a: yen prompt .

but my msx hobby continues..

If it worked before, you probably ran some some software that destroyed the first partition of your CF card...
