ExecROM v1.2f

A new version of ExecROM has been released. New in this version:

  • The /T option to set a specific MSX type for games that detect the MSX version/region, is now executed after the XPC patch is applied. This, because the new routines which the patch has added may also include MSX type verifications
  • The patch routine now updates the megarom size variable if the patch extends the game size

Great upgrade. This means applying a patch like that one of Gradius 2 has become more convenient for the users.

But what does that first new feature exactly entail? Something like if you use the patch for gradius 2 on a regular MSX 2 the turbofix patch won't be applied but all others can be? Or is it something else?

Nope, it means now you can use the /T1 option to see how the game would run on an MSX1, or /T2 to see how it would run on a MSX2.

On the previous ExecROM version, the patch was applied after the /T routines, so if you used both the patch and the /T option, the /T would have no effect.
