I started to looking at every file and turns out I do have somes (perfectly matched with SHA1), so the Catapult is the culprit as it can't recognize what I already have.

For example:

Canon_V-8:
v-8_basic-bios1.rom
97f9a0b45ee4b34d87ca3f163df32e1f48b0f09c

I have it present and perfectly SHA1 matched.

C:\Program Files\openMSX>openmsx -machine canon_v-8
Fatal error: Error in "canon_v-8" machine: Couldn't find ROM file for "MSX BIOS with BASIC ROM" v-8_basic-bios1.rom (sha1: 97f9a0b45ee4b34d87ca3f163df32e1f48b0f09c).

The file is at:
C:\program Files\openMSX\share\machines\canon\v-8_basic-bios1.rom

Catapult needs a .log generator file to check out what it went wrong.

If I do:
C:\Program Files\openMSX>openmsx -machine canon_v-20

It works perfectly (as for V-20 of course). The file (v-20_basic-bios1.rom) is on the very same directory.

That's not the correct place for the system ROMs. They should be here:

%userprofile%\documents\OpenMSX\share\systemroms\

You can go directly to that path by copying and pasting it in the address field of any Windows Explorer window. If for some reason the above don't work for you, try finding the OpenMSX folder inside your personal documents folder. The folder above should have three subfolders inside, for machines, extensions and miscellany. I recommend putting the ROMs in their proper places. After doing that, go to Catapult and ask it to Test MSX Hardware in the File menu. It will scan all ROMs and tell you if anything is missing.

Edit: Please don't put your system ROMs inside the OpenMSX installation folder. It will work but it's a pain to maintain.

This is VERY confusing, if so, they should stop creating those folders under OpenMSX install directory.

Besides, something is broken I do have Canon V-8, and is still not found and I don't know why.

Plus, I don't have v-10_basic-bios1.rom and catapult says I do have that machine ?!?!

Then you probably have a wrong file name. openMSX does not look at the file names but at the hash.

No, is 100% correct. SHA1, filename, everything.

I went back to v15 stable. Same problem.

@Gradius2, I already said that you're putting the ROM files in the wrong folder.

C:\Users\Fernando\Documents\openMSX\share\machines\ <- This is the place for custom machines XML files
C:\Users\Fernando\Documents\openMSX\share\systemroms\machines\ <- This is the place for system ROM files

I don't know about creating a canon subfolder inside of either those folders, I wouldn't do that since it's not necessary and maybe it's preventing OpenMSX from finding your files. Here I tried moving the XML to a subfolder and it wasn't seen by Catapult anymore, so I suggest you don't create subfolders inside the machines folders.

@Parn: I see. Silly me. Now I managed to get almost everything, the only thing I'm missing is:

Name: ROM Hunter Mk2
File: ROM_Hunter_Mk2.rom
SHA1: 77b886b3ed4048a099099d6b9b0d4cca3a05dce1

Who can send me this file please? I was unable to find it.

TIA!

I'm very happy to hear that.

Sorry about the ROM Hunter, we aren't allowed to share ROMs here. Anyway, that extension isn't very useful. In a real MSX it can be used to dump ROM cartridges, but it's kinda pointless on an emulator. Personally I wouldn't worry much about it, probably the ROM will pop up in the usual places when the next OpenMSX version is released.

Yeah, I know isn't that useful, but anyway I'm looking for the complete set (hence topic's title).

If anyone have it, please PVT ME (or contact me).
