USAS(RC-753) enhanced Version 1.00
----------------------------------
by Victor Martinez

This patch implements:

- SCC Music Arrangement by Koichiro
- Enables the TURBOCPU in PANASONIC TR & 2+ and ExpertTurbo
- TurboFIX routine (original routine by FRS)
- Joymega support: START = pause (thanks to FX)
- Selectable at boot: Language, sound, VDP freq., cheats...
- Enhanced sprite routines: faster, and double buffer
- Double PSG if a MegaflashROM SD is found (only with SCC music)
MegaflashROM SD PSG->Music, Internal PSG->Sound Effects
It must be in "slot expander" mode

Attention!!: You will obtain a 2Mbit ROM with KONAMI-SCC mapper type.

This version should work correctly in any MSX2 or higher.

It's compatible with the BiFi's "Emoticons patch"

Issues: not full compatible with Game Master 2.

Thanks to: Koichiro, FRS, David Madurga,FX and Manuel Pazos.

I hope you like it!!

Very very nice work.
Are there future plans? Originally the music is played in a different pitch when an emotion icon is grabbed. I miss this in this youtube clip.

Wow, Well done!
The Treasure of Usas was my favorite platform game for the MSX-2 by far.
That's why I made a USAS DEMO in 1988, as a kid.
Thanx Victor.

Amazing. Well done! I never played Usas, but I guess it is a though game.

WoW... Impressive A good reason to play it again.
And probably as expected, you can play it online here: http://file-hunter.com/MSX/index.php?id=treasuresofusas

great work... too bad that the music doesn't change the scale (minor/major) depending on the mood the character is in.

I'm gonna play this one later today!
