Maybe a special "Moonblaster for Moonsound & OCM" would be the answer. Or mouse control...

yum, yes, emulators aren't the real thing, of course not. But they are very convenient and less time consuming to use. I used my CeTec MPC-80 and my HB 75-D for a long time, until my Sony disk drive went defective. Then, I got 2 MSX2 form a friend of mine, but these tow MSX computers also have defect disk drives. They would require a lot of space, too, at least for the TV set. (I don't watch TV any more and put my TV set away.) So, for many years, I haven't had a working computer at all. It was hard to admit to myself that nowadays it is essential to have a PC and even to use Windows. (Maybe some day there will be some exorcist software to erase pron, satans rock and -- most important -- Windows from our PCs.) Last year, I bought a laptop and resumed working with MSX via blueMSX emulator, even if it isn't the real thing. Holding a 3.5" disk in my hands is still a good feeling, but USB sticks are much better and more convenient and more robust and have more capacity, i.e. an ideal replacement for disks.

By the way, did you attended Bussum 2003?

To solve your "fast cursor-syndrome". Just click the right position in BMWave

@Tanni: Yes. I attended that fair. I even did a small lecture there about Bombaman, or maybe that was Tilburg 2003. However. I was there.

arf, I dunno what's worse, having to use a mouse in a tracker, or wait a few seconds for settings-scan on a slower MSX .. :S

Most trackers nowadays use a mouse. I use Reason and wouldn't know how to compose something without my beloved mouse. But you are right when saying that MBWave is better off without a mouse.

The one I'm using/betatesting is a clone of IT2 (which was a clone of ST3), while it's a VSTi, that's basically the only mouse part, the rest is all-keys.
*click* That Galaxy tune I made was done with it.. (the notes, that is, sound came from Halion3)

But when I started the program for the first time, I missed one very little thing and that are the MSX-system roms. I only have some strange C-Bios thingies that only do cartridges.

Please check this for an extensive reply: http://openmsx.sourceforge.net/manual/setup.html#systemroms


So my question is: "How do I make Open MSX behave like my real MSX at home(Turbo R GT, Moonsound, GFX 9k, IDE-CF thingie, Z380, Slotexpander, Music Module)?"

Z380 is not supported, sorry. The rest is. GFX9K is not as accurate as the V99x8 VDP's, but it's still running almost all known GFX9K software as it should.

to hit 2 birds with one stone (and prevent you from lots of searching), copy the roms in blueMSX\Machines\Shared Roms to openMSX\share\systemroms and you have 2 nicely working emulators Smile
