Fujitsu FM Towns (Marty?)
-
Are these two different systems? FM Towns and FM Towns Marty? or when folks talk of FM Towns, do they mean FM Towns Marty?
I read that this is a hard emulator install, but I'd like to have a go at it. I really want to play this T.D.F. Japanese Kaiju game with it.

@duglor ...they're almost the same.
The FM Towns came first. It was the true computer version (with keyboard, mouse, various operating systems available over its lifespan, etc).
The FM Towns Marty was a later edition and was the console'ized version. It was just the console and gamepad.
The FM Towns Marty was backwards compatible with almost all of the FM Towns software, but not all.
I'm not sure if there were ever any Marty only software titles that weren't compatible with the FM Towns computer....but there might be.
MAME and LR-MESS have pretty good support for both. You just decide which one you want to boot it up as.

@dmmarti Hi, I installed lr-mess-fmtowns. I have the chd of TDF Kaiju Daikussen and Bubble Bobble for FMTOWNS. Those i put in the roms/fmtowns dir. I put the fmtowns bios files in the general bios dir and bios/mame as well. ziipped and unzipped. I have tried to run both chd files and it kicks me back out to the main ES menu. Should i try other things?
