OpenMSX: Not enough free cartridge slots

Hello,

I'm trying to start a configuration on OpenMSX with:
- an MSX computer with 2 slots
- a MegaFlashRom SCC+ SD
- an SFG-01/05 extension

But whatever the one I choose, I always get a "Not enough free cartridge slots" message.
Which is not logical (captain ), since this configuration only needs 2 slots.

What's happening ?

Which is the exact machine you are using? Not all machines have 2 slots available for the end user.

As I said, I'm choosing machines with 2 slots : Sony HB-F700F, Philips NMS-8245, ...

In what slot(s) did the MegaFlashROM SCC+SD go?

AFAIK, OpenMSX does not let you choose that.
So I do not know.

This is what I get with a Sony HB-F700F:

OK, I found the problem : I had 2 copies of the SFG-05 rom in the systemroms folder.
Keeping only 1 solved the issue.

That makes no sense, it has no influence on filling up cartridge slots.

Anyway, try using the OSD menu. You are using the latest development build, in which you can exactly specify what gets in which slot.

So, I think you still had some other extension inserted instead.

No, Manuel, I can assure you that there was no other extension inserted except for the MFR SCC+ SD and the SFG-05. I checked multiple times, and with different machines !

And I know you said it does not make sense, but the problem was solved when I removed an extra copy that was in the "share" folder. Actually, there was 2 copies : one zipped, and one unzipped, both downloaded from the hansotten website. And a third one in the "systemroms" folder (the normal one).

But I must say that I tried to reproduce the defect afterwards, without success.
