Re: LOADROM.COM help needed
Well you can´t run much with 128K, it requires more ram to run a 1Mbit game.

Re: DOS2 4MB (and a little GEM news)
According to my tests with a 4MB mapper, DOS2 indeed lists it as 255 segments (4080kB) and trying to allocate all segments does result in segment 256 being ignored! Yes, that's because it is impossible to say 256 with just one byte. A solution would be to use this byte as number of segments minus one counter, but since value 0 is used as the end of segments table mark, a theorical 1-segment mapper could not be correclty used then. 3. Do the 2 DOS2 system segments reside in segment 254 and 255? Good question. I have a 4Mb mapper, but since Turbo-R uses always internal mapper as primary one, I can't check this out. But if DOS 2 is consistent, segment 255 should be always ignored, even for using system segments. I think it would've been better if DOS2 counted from 0, not from 1 :( Oh, come on! Really you miss these 16K when having 4080K available?? 8-) *** XX MSX USERS MEETING IN BARCELONA: DECEMBER 8th 2001 *** -- Konami Man - AKA Nestor Soriano (^^)v http://www.konamiman.com- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 18281450 Celebrating the imprudences must be unfailingly consequent with it said, not for the fact in itself, but for some that another onomatopoeia to the use -- -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Keyboard map in system roms
Hi Where in the msx system roms is the keyboardmap located? I upgraded my svi738 to msx2 with finnish msx2 roms (without msx clock) so I now need to redo the keyboard map - I have a US keyboardlayout Thanks JP GROBLER [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Nestor wrote: but since value 0 is used as the end of segments table mark, a theorical 1-segment mapper could not be correclty used then. *sigh* but a 1-segment mapper is indeed theoretical, while 4MB mappers are reality. :) if DOS 2 is consistent, segment 255 should be always ignored, even for using system segments. I just tested this with BrMSX (which initialises RAM to 0). There was code in segment 253, and segment 254 en 255 were empty. I guess the system data segment is 254 and DOS2 doesn't really use it, because I saw just 0's. But then again I haven't checked the entire 16kB so maybe it does use one or two bytes ;) Oh, come on! Really you miss these 16K when having 4080K available?? 8-) Maybe not... I just think it's a waste and it's pretty stupid if DOS2 insists you have a 4080K mapper while you KNOW it's 4096K. BTW, make that 4048K available :) We'll just have to live with it. But I suggest a DOS3 to support 65536 segments ala Padial's 4MB mappers. :) Greetz, Patriek -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Oh, really? . I'll need to upgrade, then. Oddly, as I mentioned, I can run 1Mbit split ROMs, like Lupin III, Bubble Bobble, Strategic Mars, etc. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
