I have 2 issues with EP.COM with the OCM....
1) How do you emulate the need of push ctrl in some games? I am trying for example Imanok games or Nuts, and always get the same message: "Please, push CTRL and RESET"
2) It's possible to run the Matra disks? I have except Sex Bomb Bunny all the Matra disks and I am not able to run with EP any of the DSK I have done.
Yours,

spl, maybe it helps to know that Matra disk games are all single-sided, for as far as I know, that is. So maybe you've just got to fiddle about with EP and its parameters as I haven't worked with it. Furthermore, all Matra games are sector-based, not file based. Maybe that's a thing you should know as well. Anyway, good luck!

If a game needs CTRL to be pressed during boot, you can just do that with ep. For instance you type:
ep game.dsk /b/d/r
This will result in an automatic reset and the game will be loaded as though it were a regular disk. Holding down ctrl will work just the same as always.
As for the matra games: I know Dahku is possible to run with EP. I also think Sex Bomb Bunny is possible. The other ones I never succeeded in creating...

Dahku is not a Matra game, is a game from Kralizec
Well, about /b/d/r, try for example Rolling Thunder (The Windjammers like game from Imanok) or Final Bout also from Imanok... it doesn't work. Also, try Nuts from KAI MAGAZINE

Well, Dahku was published by Matra after all. But if DK works, then BombJack should work too.

Well, I've tried the 3 Matra games I have: Don't Cock It Up and Ark-A-Noah works and except the title music speed, I haven't seen any issues. Moskow 2024 starts, you can select your character, it appears the 100 mts screen, but no in-game  . (Problem of MSX2 implementation?) |

And well, with Imanok games I have the same problems  (Why memory problems if... I HAVE 1 MB RAM??) |
