Bewildering MSX cassette issue
-
So I'm trying to run a game called Gunsmoke, published by Go!, which is only available as two .CAS files. (I'm not interested in the Spanish version, Desperado, which it's a translation of, or the different Gunsmoke by ProSoft.)
If I load GunsmokeSide1.cas and type RUN"CAS:" in lr-bluemsx, the game loads and runs, but then tries to load the first level from GunsmokeSide2.cas and fails, because lr-bluemsx has no facility to change tapes.
So I set up an M3U file, and here's where it gets weird.
tapes/GunsmokeSide1.cas tapes/GunsmokeSide2.casWhen I fire up that M3U file and then type RUN"CAS:", it doesn't load the first tape. Whichever model of MSX I set the emulator to, it comes back with "Device I/O error".
This is despite the fact that it's trying to load THE EXACT SAME FILE THAT WORKED FIVE SECONDS AGO.
It makes no difference if I hold down Shift or Ctrl while the MSX is booting. If I type RUN"CAS-" instead of RUN"CAS:" I just get "Disk I/O error" instead of "Device I/O error". Typing BLOAD"CAS:",R does the same. The CAS file works by itself, but not via the M3U. What the heck is going on?
