CUBIT game hangs on MSX2/MSX2+

It's a very simple (BASIC+CM) and nice game, it worked for me in DSK version and as DirAsDisk in both OpenMSX and BlueMSX with MSX2+ and TurboR. Try it instead the cas one.

There's 2 things that are different between MSX2 machines and MSX1 machines that often cause trouble:

1) Less free space in BASIC, due to the Disk BASIC that goes with floppy drive(s) included in many MSX2 models. If you hold the [CTRL] key pressed during boot (until the beep), you lose drive B: but have more BASIC memory left. If you hold the [SHIFT] key pressed during boot, you lose all floppy support but have the same BASIC memory left as an MSX1.

2) RAM in an expanded slot. Type the following POKE before loading/running your program:

POKE -1,(15-PEEK(-1)\16)*17

(note the backslash = integer divide not regular slash)
That's basically a hack, but allows many poor written software to work, that wouldn't otherwise.

Combine 1) and 2) if necessary. Good luck!

Note that neither 1) or 2) is MSX2/2+ specific, but how these issues are usually encountered...

Wow... thanks @RetroTechie! These are nice hacks, I will try them and let you know if they worked.

The game is simple but fun. Be aware though, to place a tile, you must hold the space bar for some time. It took me quite a while to figure this out.
