I am now trying trackers under the 1chipMSX, and I have find a strage problem with Moonblaster 1.4... ¡red cursors doesn't appear!, so when you play a song, you can't see the red line, when you select a song, you don't see the red cursor... have you experienced the same problem?

Yours,

That's a known bug of it. There is a fix for it somewhere.. iirc

It might be the installation of moonblaster. If it's stock, then there's something wrong with the SCREEN 0 blink mode. Otherwise, press [I] while Moonblaster's loading (I think, I'm not sure anymore). It'll open up an installation menu and you'll be allowed to make some changes to the color scheme. Great success!

For the blink functions to work you need an updated pld file. There is no official update yet, but the 2.0 update that KdL built does have a proper blink implementation.

So do you recommend me to update the PLD to the KdL built? Is stable and works as good as the official one?

When do you think there will be a official patch? Actually, I don't want to change the dip-switches config, for example...

spl, I have updated my 1chipMSX with the KdL built and it works great! Especially, the blink mode bug has been fixed, which makes the whole device a lot more usable. I recommend doing so!

Sorry for not searching around but: Is there a guide for OCM newbies on how to update???

There is not a real guide, but it's very easy. There is this utility on the 1chipMSX cdrom with which you can update the device more easily than making chocolate mousse.
