Hi there,

today my new MSX2 arrived.
I tried now a few Games on Discs.
And the load times are incredible long. I want to know now if this is normal that a game is loading about 15 or 20 minutes before it starts?

The floppydrive is still reading but the game didn`t start at all.

Thanks for your help

Regards

Bjoern

Loading should be fast. Less than 20secs for even the biggest RPGs or something.

hmm then i wondering why my Games here are not loading.
I have Aleste 2 here. The first disc with the intro is loading very fast. But then the Second Disk with the Game did not load at all.

I have a few other Games where the intro is loading but the game did not work.

Maybe the second disk is just broken? Or the 2nd head of the disk drive is broken?

What MSX model is it exactly?

You know what? I think you just tried to load a game which hung up during loading. The drive will keep spinning (but you won't hear the head moving) with the LED on, then. At least in many cases.
You should really tell me exactly which machine you used and which games show what behaviour.
