What was the problem?

mzx3: I'm testing on TurboR with IDE and Audio extention and DOS2.20 (pretty standard?)
Okay, it runs on NON IDE machines.... hmm
edit: Yup, the IDE is what's causing the tilt of mzx3. that sux kinda!
|
Even with a normal MSX2 and IDE the program doesn't run?
Are you sure it runs anyway with DOS2? Don't need map.com? Does it have enough RAM? (With the TurboR that should be OK...)
Are you sure Muzax 3 runs on a real MSX system with IDE? |

Are you trying to run it from a FAT16 partition?

you people better teach me how to run openMSX because when I got it to run, it only made a terrible slow galaga.rom performance, what is wrong with that? blueMSX is just fine for me, but it does not run HD option yet, anyone could help?

The HD prob was b'coz I had several HD.dsk files (while testing) and the one I used was without Directories, so I didn't see one. (yeah, how stupid can I be eh! ) Thought I had the HD.dsk with directories onit...
I used IDE fat12 with dos 2.2 on turbo r, standard (256 KB) no extentions but the IDE.. still it hangs.
Haven't tested it on other machine setups. Only by removing the IDE extention MZX3 runs smoothly (tried some extra extentions like 1MB, audio etc etc all worked like a charme) oh well, it was the FIRST prog I tested and it tilted right away... other softs I tested showed no probs. Must be lousy code haha.. ahum, right. nevermind.
thanx for responses.
Oh, the sample rate had to be reset to 1024 samps before getting good audio results.
still, it would be SOOOO darn cool and handy to have HD simulation using REAL HD (a folder for example) that way swapping files would work perfectly cuz the diskexplorer can't handle HD.dsk files cuz of the size  big bummer...
only solutions is to add a DirAsDisk and swap files using that folder... |

Ro, I just tested Muzax 3 on IDE harddisk emulating a 8250: runs fine!
LUX: what CPU and videocard do you have?
You people should all join #openMSX on irc.freenode.net! Much easier to help you guys there!

huh, I just tried the whole openMSX on my new PC here at my place but could not get msxdos2 on turbo R working! (hey, mtr has dos230 build in right?, could not get it from the .xml config file.. )
The other day I tried this config (as described earlier) it worked like a charme however.. snif.
oh, the irc.freenode.net thingy, is that online? could not get it

MSX Turbo R FS-A1ST has MSX-DOS Kernel 2.30 built in (you'll still need MSXDOS2.SYS and COMMAND2.COM on a MSX-DOS2-formatted disk, however). The FS-A1GT has MSX-DOS Kernel 2.31 built in.

Yup, quite a self-explanatory way to format a disk in DOS2 mode is as follows (without the need of MSXDOS2.SYS and COMMAND2.COM): Start up the machine without any disk hanging in it, then do _FORMAT with the necessary parameters. Doing so, it'll boot with DOS2 enabled  |

Ok. got thinx up and running again, finally. The FORMAT will also result in total crap (read: tilt) of the emulator. So no big help there either (for creating dos2. boot flops) I got one form the funet archives which works like it should.
Still muzax3 has troubles with the IDE extention (the intro screen will boot, but then it'l crash after a while. looks like filling up the RAM ends up in tilt (muzax tries to fill up as much free RAM as possible in one go))

call format should work on normal disk images, but only with machines that have the WD2793 FDC (i.e.: not the TurboR, e.g.!)
I just tried it again on a TurboR, but I really have no trouble running Muzax 3 from IDE HD... What machine are you using and how much RAM does it have? Used any extra mappers?

By the way, formatting on a turboR should work just fine with at least openMSX 0.6.2. (Probably also in earlier versions, but it wasn't that accurate then...)

Yeah, because I'm referring to it in the openMSX User's Manual |

I do want to simulate the harddisk, but am not familiar with the ide harddisk of sunrise. I do have the novaxis rom but i can't remember on what page the novaxis is at (thought it was page 2-1, but that's where the dos rom is placed at the moment.)
|
Novaxis SCSI will be emulated in openMSX 0.6.3 (thanks to blueMSX folks!). |
