Anyone had any luck running PC-88 games in MESS?
-
I've got everything installed and booting to the PC88 OS screen okay, but I'm at a loss as to how to make any games run. They're in .D88 format and ES picks them up fine, but the emulator just sits at the OS screen doing nothing. I can go into the MESS file manager, insert the disk in drive 1 and reset the machine, but all that gets me is a few seconds of black screen and then the OS prompt again. I'm out of ideas.

(I've also tried installing Quasi88, which seems to have gone fine, but attempting to boot a game disk just leaves me looking at a black screen saying "V2 4MHz". I can access the menus with F12, but nothing in them gets me anywhere.)
EDIT: Ah, wait - so far as Quasi88 goes, it seems I was just really unlucky in my choice of games. I managed to pick a 100% fail rate of ones it doesn't seem to run (eg Xevious and Pac-Man). Other stuff like 1942, Bomb Jack and Dig Dug all work. They still don't in AdvMESS, though.
