Getting games to work on MSX 2 emulators
« on: June 10, 2011, 09:15:37 PM »
God, for the life of me I cannot run a single MSX 1 or 2 game.  The emulator websites and forums are worthless for information.

BlueMSX or NLMSX are the two emus in question.

I need help. 

*edit*
I get this screen when trying to run Final Fantasy (1989)(Micro Cabin)(jp):

Isn't there a master rom or bios you need to load them? I remember attempting msx awhile back and getting it to work but not playing much.

Yeah I always had problems getting MSX stuff to run myself. Not knowing anything about the computer didn't help. I did eventually get the port of FF1 running but I can't remember how.

I.S.T.

Ask at RHDN. Plenty of MSX fans there.

If I recall correctly, you have to hold the Control key while the game is loading.

I want to play through it and record the soundtrack as well.  I've got all the roms/dsks but not matter what I do they won't run. 

I will check out RHDN to see if they can help if the CTRL key won't work.
