I tried a lot. There is a SDSnatcher rom without SCC that will work.

@boomspar Generally BIOS and ROMs are not provided by RetroPie unless there's free/open source. That's why the BIOS requirements are always mentioned on the emulator's page. Just like for ROMs, you're responsible for copying the necessary BIOS files in place - they don't come with the package installed from the RetroPie-Setup.

I just found another one. I just copy the description from my other topic. Arcade / Mame2010 Puzzle Break pzlbreak.zip This is a modern Arkanoid like game, with 2 player simultanously option. It looks quite nice and plays well with regular joystick. The special thing about this game is, the player can bounce the paddle's right or lift side up, so the ball will fly in this direction. That allows for greater control.

Nevermind, I got it working. You have to choose the fbalpha neocd option before loading. Also, it looks like it doesn't have chd support and no cd music..which was the point of using this. Thanks anyways. Back to lr-mess.

Got it . Thanks

@edmaul69 it does work but just normally, like bluemsx, and with crappy sound. In BlueMSX pc version of the emu, you need to choose MSXturbo in order to get the hack working, so i thought it would work just the same as that :/

I looks through the romset, and there are around 200 individual games in disk format marked as British releases, so assuredly in English. All of the cartridge games were either in Japanese or Korean. I did a bit of reading up, and many of the games were converted from Sinclair Spectrum versions, as the hardware and graphics capabilities were fairly similar. The games list I looked at seemed to confirm it - lots of classic spectrum games.

@tomume https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#installing-additional-emulators - choose to install the emulators for MSX - lr-bluemsx. Then restart ES and see if your ROMs (and the MSX folder) appear. Check the file extension and make sure you use lowecase for the ROMs.

did you copy all the bios' directly in the bios folder: MSX.ROM MSX2.ROM MSX2EXT.ROM MSX2P.ROM MSX2PEXT.ROM MSXDOS2.ROM

@edmaul69 My Raspberry Pi only has a PS3 controller paired with it, no keyboard or mouse, so that's troublesome for me. I'll just have to keep MSX emulation on the PC for now. :'(

@geometrafilini open msx is not a retroarch emulator. If you want it to work as easy as other retroarch emulators, download lr-bluemsx. To use the keyboard you might have to add input_player2_libretro_device = 2 to the msx retroarch.cfg

@shizzmoney Well this has solved my problem too, so thanks. The indicated retroarch.cfg file was changed somehow to system_directory = "default", which breaks this emulator. I find it amazing, that such changes are made in the core with no regard whatsoever to impacts to all retroarch ecosystem...

bump?

In theory should be possible with bluemsx (not sure how well implemented the libretro version is) but from what I was reading running .cas looked a bit involved, there was a bit of a guide I saw on the bluemsx forms but I don't think I can link to it as it looked like it had ROM or bios links.

@herb_fargus Good to know. lr-bluemsx works pretty well in most situations. I forget why I switched over to OpenMSX. It may have had something to do with peripheral support.

@sastremarti It'll help to draw in opinions and possibilities if you fill out the requested information found at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@weirdocollector said in MSX and .dsk games: Any other suggestions ? This is long overdue and you likely figured this out by now, but for posterity, I'll post what I found to be a solution. I just made the switch the Stretch and this one little issue was the only road block I encountered in restoring my backup from Jessie. The Docs state that you only need to set the desired machine type into the terminal overlay and that the corresponding BIOS will be selected. Needless to say, this didn't work for me either. @edmaul69 mentioned above that the machine should be selection through the emulator's option menu by pressing the 'Menu' key. That is correct, but the problem is that many keyboards don't have a 'Menu' key. To change this key binding, drop to the terminal and type: cp /opt/retropie/emulators/openmsx/share/scripts/keybindings.tcl /home/pi/.openmsx/share/scripts/keybindings.tcl Then type: nano /home/pi/.openmsx/share/scripts/keybindings.tcl After the contents of the script are displayed, look for: } else { ;# any other bind_default "keyb MENU" main_menu_toggle My keyboard has a 'HOME' key, so I replaced 'MENU' with that. However, you can put any key you want here, but it should be one that doesn't interfere with the MSX keyboard. Using the 'HOME' key, the replaced test should look like: } else { ;# any other bind_default "keyb HOME" main_menu_toggle press 'ctrl+O' to save, 'Y' to verify and exit with 'ctrl+X'. Now you can launch a game and bring up the onscreen menu where you should be able to select a machine ('Philips NMS 8250' for a European MSX2 if that's what you're aiming for). Afterward, bring up the menu again and select the option to make the current machine the default. Now, the chosen machine and corresponding BIOS should be applied every time a game is launched.

@Jazzy How many games have you tried and which ones? Some only support the keyboard.
