Cannot run SD Snatcher, MSX2 [SOLVED]
-
@AdamBeGood If you play Soul Reaver, play the Dreamcast version. It's much improved! Shadowman is also best on Dreamcast, avoid the PS1 version at all costs.
If we can get openmsx to boot SD Snatcher, then we should be able to use the SCC.

Will this resolve the sound issue? Sorry for being ignorant here.
No, this is for those who want to get openMSX running with original bios files(no c-bios), so they can run DSK files.
If you already have those bios files for openMSX, sound will work as described earlier.SCC for SD Snatcher works in openMSX by adding (via menu)

Cool, I have the Dreamcast version so I'll go with that. I was playing Monster World IV on Megadrive, I should finish that first.
@Folly Thank you! I'll have a look at this in a bit.
I've had a go at this and I have the bios files mentioned, with the right Checksums, but I am still having no joy with .dsk and OpenMSX.
Did you have any luck, Zering? I just get booted straight back to Emulation Station.
-
@AdamBeGood I'm working on it as we speak. I've booted up a .ROM file to get into the OpenMSX interface, I loaded up all the necessary BIOS but it still hangs. I've caught a file that's wrong, but I've fixed it and restarting the Pi now, so stay tuned ^^
Edit : As much as I enjoy the MSX library... I don't enjoy its quantity of BIOS files...
Edit 2 : Nope. No luck. When I go to select 'openMSX team Boosted MSX2 EN' in the Hardware menu, it hangs. This is starting to frustrate me ^^
Edit 3 : I think I've found the issue on my end. My KANJI.ROM has the wrong sha1sum. I'm looking for a replacement now.

@Folly Any chance you could indicate which MSX machine your KANJI.ROM corresponds to? I've gone through Daewoo, Matsushita, and five others.

I tried to find it for you. In doing so, I found that it runs without KANJI.ROM .
Try to remove this rom.added them one by one until it was working.

@Folly Removing KANJI.ROM did nothing. Thanks for trying though!
However, something did occur to me.
First off, the name of the machine I'm switching isn't Boosted_MSX2_EN, but openmsx Team Boosted MSX2 EN. Does that matter?
Secondly... Should my .openmsx/share/machines directory be empty?

It's the same, but from the command line it is "Boosted....."

Yes, your machines are in :
/opt/retropie/emulators/openmsx/share/machines/* -
@Folly Then that's probably it. Which files should I have in .openmsx/share/machines?
My directory is empty.

Mine are empty too.
-
@Folly Okay, I think I'm on to something then. My nms and FMPAC.ROM are wrong compared to the last sha1 you posted, which are different for some reason. I'll try different files and update.
-
Try to search in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/*
Perhaps you already have them.fmpac.rom with sha1 9d789166e3caf28e4742fe933d962e99618c633d
should also work, according to the /opt/retropie/emulators/openmsx/share/machines/Boosted_MSX2_EN.xml -
@Folly IT WORKS! :D
The Sha1 didn't have to match for FMPAC.ROM and nms8250_disk.rom.
The last Sha1 values you posted have allowed me to get into openmsx, choose the Boosted MSX2, set it as default (this is very important). Then I could boot my .dsk files for SD Snatcher from ES. I put in the Konami extension for SD Snatcher. I'll have to compare with my non-SCC version to be sure but I think it sounds right.@Folly, you are a legend.
-
Enjoy :)
-
@Folly Haha well now I have to figure out how to map the controls, how to swap disks with openmsx, how to save onto the user disk... But the biggest hurdle is past! ^^
Edit : The SCC music is excellent, it's really impressive how much those old school japanese composers managed to squeeze out of 8-bit hardware.

Good luck, most things you can find in the menu.
Music is indeed super.

@Folly Thank you again for all your help.
Hopefully this thread helps @AdamBeGood too.

Okay, I'll have to do this in the morning or my wife will leave me.
So if I get into OpenMSX by booting up a .ROM game, then I should be able to change the machine type and then load Snatcher. That's my understanding... Well done for getting this sorted, both!
"I put in the Konami extension for SD Snatcher" - is it going to be obvious to me what that means?
-
@AdamBeGood Yes - it's under hardware, then extensions. There are a few Konami SCC, one is exclusively for SD Snatcher and is well indicated. You'll know it when you see it and if you don't I can help you with it - in the morning. Don't want to be responsible for your wife leaving you ^^
You'll need to make sure that you have the five files indicated by Folly as well.
