Alright, easy enough to run the concat command on the machine.

Disappointing on saves- are you saying neither PAC nor built-in cart SRAM is supported? And for tape I guess I'd have to get a machine and some cassettes, and swap out my 3.5mm audio jack for a line in and back when I wanted to save? Yikes...

Wonder what Mister users are doing then...

Sorry if double posting is discouraged.

I thought I had messed up by naming all my concatenated disk images "multi.dsk" since the save disk will be shared as "multi.usr" in the saves folder. But saves don't seem to be overwriting each other between games like I thought they would.

Is it okay for these to be named the same? Or are the games I tried just happening to write to different disk segments or something?

One question @Louthrax, I'm not sure if I asked this before. Should be possible to implement a software save flash feature present in MFR / C2? This is, one file in the SD working as "flash". I ask this because some ROM games uses savegame, and one of the best games ever made for MSX (https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/development/i-have-finished-it) uses it also :)

Thanks!

So uhm, if im upgrading from v7 to v8, its important to keep my SR.INI file, right? Or have there been alterations to the INI-file as well? So I need to work from the new version?

Hi!
I've been testing a lot of Roms in Sofarun 8.0 (sofarom 3.2) lately and was wondering if there''s any patch or know problems with the following Roms:

AshGuine Story III (ROM django translation)
Devil Golvellius
KiKi KaiKai
Manbow 2
Metal Gera 2 Solid Snake
Mr Chin
Ninja Savior
Pennant Race 2
Rise Out

I could not get any of them to start, however I'm kind of new to SofaRom, so I'm not sure which settings i should try to change. I also had problems with Penguin Kun Wars 2, but I read in a earlier thread that it don't work with SofaRom, something about the Ascii 16-mapper messing things up, so I guess that one is easier to flash with Carnivore 2.

Add ODO in the SR.INI. It can run Mr Chin and Rise Out.

Metal Gear 2 and Pennant Race 2 cannot work in a subslot. There is a patch for Metal Gear 2, not sure about Pennant Race 2. You can also try setting the no sub slot option in SofaRun for these ROMs.

Is 0.3 the latest verison of ODO?
How do I add it to SR.INI?

It depends on your configuration. I added that:

SC2=A:\GRAPHIC\SC2VIEW.COM %f

ROM=A:\TOOLS\ROM2MMM.COM %f;Run with Rom2MMM
ROM=%sSROM.COM %f ;Run with SofaRom
ROM=%sSROM.COM %f /J5;Run with SofaRom (JoySNES)
ROM=%sSROM.COM %f /J6;Run with SofaRom (JoyMega)
ROM=A:\TOOLS\ODO.COM %f;Run with ODO

and a # at the beginning of the line "ROM=*1" as below.

#ROM=*1;Run with SofaRom

Where do I add this, to the [EXTS]-section in SR.ini ?

So I both need ODO, SC2VIEW and ROM2MMM?
Any particular reason for putting SC2VIEW in a Graphic-folder instead of Tools?
