No i did not. I am afraid I don't know how it works. Is there a difference between AUTOEXEC.BAT versus .BAS?
Can I download such a bootable disk somewhere?
Thnx
I don't think these can be edited on a PC. They are not plain text files. So you'll have to create and or edit these on your MSX (while being in Basic, not in DOS). Just a few things to get you started:
Commands to open and save files
load "autoexec.bas"
save "autoexec.bas"
Command to see what's inside
list
Command to run a file
run
Editing is done just by typing. If you prefix your command with a number they are stored in memory. Like this
10 print "hello world"
20 goto 10
list
save "hello.bas"
run
Press ctrl+stop to terminate this program. You'll have to learn to program in Basic to create more complex programs and loaders.
By the way, if your final goal is to play megaroms on your 512 kB memory mapper, you can't just load .rom files into it. You will need adapted versions. These can be found for instance here for MSX1 and MSX2. You were experimenting with King's Valley 2, it's there.
Great! As a rule of thumb, you will need 256kB memory to play 128kB games, and 512kB memory to play 256kB games. And if you happen to have a SCC cartridge plug it in slot 2 to enjoy the true sounds of those Konami games.
Thank you! I have 512KB so I should shoud be able to get all to work. That's in fact the case except for Space Manbow... too bad as I really liked that game. Do you know where to buy SCC catridge? Or should I then buy something like Carnivore?
Space Manbow has had MX2 extension.. it's starts loading with romload and shows the Konami logo but then resets.
