Music

These SCC files are experimental.

A cartridge with SCC/SCC+ soundchip or compatible is required. SCC Konami cartridges are usable but remember: Do not insert a cartridge with the MSX turned on!!!. However, safe options exist:

  • slotexpanders with switches
  • SCC cartridges modified with switch or converted to Megasram (aka ESE-RAM)
  • use an MSX emulator

The general procedure is as follows:

  • on MSX1, first load MSX1SC
  • on MSX2, first run PLMS.BAS (or KONAMI.BAS to skip the intro)
  • run the 3 small SCC utilities (correct name of third utility is SCCVB)
  • stop SCC sound with F1
  • try then the 5 examples (BASICSCC.001 to .004 + MOTOR.SCC)
