| SD-Snatcher (both R800 and from HDD)
Solid Snake (Snake sometimes walks damn slow on Z80)
|
I knew that Solid Snake could be played in R800 mode (pressing SHIFT) but, how to play SD-Snatcher in R800 mode? |

1. Boot your MSX tR with "1" pressed down
2. Insert disk 1
3. Type: 10 A$="!a@-))TZ2":DEFUSR=32777! :IFD2THEN LINE>2COPY0LOADATTR$ELSEA=USR(0)
20 POKE &HF346,1:_SYSTEM
RUN |

That's easy 
Make diskimages of the disks using Michel Shuqair's GETDISK.COM, concatenate them: copy /b SDSNAT1.DSK+SDSNAT2.DSK+SDSNAT3.DSK+SDSNATUS.DSK SDSNATCH.DSK then run MAP.COM or MAPIT.COM, after that, START.COM SDSNATCH.DSK
HDD is the key here  |

Your MSX skills sucks, because you have been too long with PC's.  (Don't take this seriously)
Correct command on MSX is CONCAT

NYYRIKKI: 
Please refine them skills as 'MSX-DOS skills', not just 'MSX skills'
Anyhoo, I recall just now how I got one big disk image - forget the copy /b thing: GETDISK.COM does it by itself
But then again: NYYRIKKI's solution is the best, I assume. Weren't it for the obfuscation, it also works on an MSX without HDD. I worship you man! Peace!
Back to topic: I also run MSX Hot Numbers in R800 mode. Great thing, the game's sometime's a bit slow... |

Peace brother!
I just must punish you people, who come and declare your computer using habits as facts about operating systems/computers, you don't know about or you just don't remember!
I punish you [D-Tail] because you are one of the MSX sources that people are used to rely on. U shall not make mistake U C, U know?

Out's are only for Panasonic MSX 2+ machines. For MSX tR, you need the use BIOS routine. I copy here the complete trick again:
10 A$="!a@-))TZ2":DEFUSR=32777! :IFD2THEN LINE>2COPY0LOADATTR$ELSEA=USR(0)
Change number after "LINE>" like this:
0 = Z80 (ROM)
1 = R800 (ROM)
2 = R800 (DRAM)
|
I tried that too, but I just can't make it work...  |

I just checked, and it works fine here... Check that you have spaces at correct locations, check that you have zero after COPY instead of "o"-letter etc. (This font sucks) Unlike typical BASIC programs, it is important, that it is written JUST as it is here.

I'll make copy&paste to a file and try it tonight...
By the way... does it turn on the R800 led too?

Maybe we should make a obfuscated R800 switching contest... ^_^
10 DEFINTA:DEFUSR=&H8020:A=USR(129):GOTO30
20 ##~!~ATIMECLOSEATTR$
30 POKE &HF346,1: CALL SYSTEM 128 = Z80, 129 = R800, 130 = DRAM |

oh, mind you... doing something like A=USR(2422435) or A=USR("yourbigfatmama" ) will prolly crash |

Back to topic: what games do you run in R800 mode?
o PA3
o The Lost World
o Realms of Adventure
Though the CPU mode doesn't really matter with those games... Only sometimes I experience a small speed-up in RoA, but then again, that's all |
