Is there any way a cartridge game supported by FS-CA1 MSX AUDIO - Commando/Labyrinth/Xevious Fardraut/Family Stadium - can output MSX AUDIO sound by inserting a NMS1205 Music Module together instead of FS-CA1? poke -54,35 trick doesn't work in that case. I am particularly interested in Labyrinth.

That poke supposedly only works with some Compile games.
This hardware mod makes a Philips (and Toshiba) module compatible with the Panasonic one. I have that but I never tried it.

On the openMSX the poke also worked with the disk converted Family Stadium and Xevious but not Labyrinth.
I know that upgrade kit but I want to know how unmodified Music Module can do that, and let GR8NET do the same job.

The only game I can get working with NMS-1205 and 1.3 BIOS is Xevious. Original cartridge detects MSX audio. Anyone did get the other roms to work with msx-audio sound?

It works will all Compile titles (including the Disk Stations), except the two Aleste games.

It also works with most games made by ASCII, like:

Penguin Kun Wars 2
Dante2
Lubeck
Sea Sardine
Fleet Commander 2 (requires the patch to fix a race-condition that the game had on its initialization routines)
Gladius

And it also works with some patched games:

Firehawk HDD
Mon Mon Monster

I don't mind about the word order but these games use only PSG, what's the point in adding an MSX AUDIO cartridge?

I know very sure that at least some of them do support MSX-Music.

Pengin-Kun Wars 2 supports FM, but it requires a patch to fix a detection bug, otherwise it will only work with the original FM-PAC. Most people don't know that it supports FM because of this bug.

Are you sure they only support the PSG?
