Are you using a IC version with oppening menu in english? Then you've

Hardware Pause-Button isn't 100% hardware. In Turbo-R is implemented
by S1990 (I'm corret? I'm wrong? I'm fudeba?) and you can do a single
"di" to disable it. Remember MkII's 256x256 screen sample, this
program disabled the Pause key. In Turbo-R "pause" key still enabled
during Illusion City.
Connect MSX mouse on port #2 and verify if an arrow-cursor is
displayed on start-menu screen.

You choose a option, for example "opening" and you will see game's
openning. :)

In JIS you have a character encoding using two bytes (like Unicode)
the first byte is between &h80 and &h8F and the second byte is between
&h40 and &hFF. I did a only 7-bit ASCII JIS mini-table (boxes with
"/\/" has undisplayable symbols and empty boxes are empty boxes...):

The MSX Mouse sends 2 signed bytes to the computer, X and Y. This byte must be added to the current X and Y location, so it is a relative movement. So X=0 means X is the same, X=1 means X=+1 and X=255 means X=-1. This is very easy to implement, however it poorly supports mouse speed control, because it's a digital signal. Well, anyways, those 2 bytes are transferred in 4 parts. The computer reads pins 1-4 four times, afterwards signalling the mouse to ready the next 4 bits by complementing pin 8." About speed control, you can use Nyyrikki's "mouse driver" to adjust speed, accelaration and acceleration speed. > He's the make of AdMouse! > (...)

Illusion City on MSX2 machines
People, I ran Illusion City(IC) in Turbo-R's Z80 mode. How? Easy, on Mega SCSI's FD emulation I can change CPU mode pressing Z (Z80) or R (R800) when a disk "change". People is so slow, very slow, you can sleep playing! Without jokes, the music and animations ran in normal speed but the characters move is boring, is like a MSX-emulator!

I will then have to edit the JIS-driver I think... Patching Kanji-ROM software... May be, but is a hard job.

MIDI ports was officially included in MSX standard only in 1992. Just FS A1GT machines has standard MIDI ports, but you can found a lot of MIDI implementations in Europe, Brazil and Japan. I found two things called "Dual MIDI" (implemented on Printer Port) and "JoySERIAL" (do you can discover?) in a MSX-Fan. I can replicate this schems if anybody is interested. Suzuki (Suzuki is Ricardo Suzuki, a great friend and former owner of my Turbo R, he left some MSX stuff with me after ExpoSALT) has a interest MIDI Cartridge. This cartridge has MIDI-In and MIDI-Out ports and plus 256Kb of RAM. Yes! MIDI and Memory in same cartridge. This MIDI is Bit2 compatible and can be "talk" with Illusion City.

BASIC routines to directory...
Hi! > Aaagghh!! Grauw, it's very dirty! And > slow! : Is better peek directtly in sectors. But Adriano, using XBASIC you can increase the speed. The Lauren's routine is the same of "Copy Baixaria", remember the mesage when the number of files on disk was plus than 68(?) files? >>I have done this before, so it works. > Yeah, me too. I don't liked of it! Is so dirty... :) > I also said an interesting "launcher". The program just do a FILES > on screen and use the screen as RAM. (...) Hahaha!!

It's a real problem! The limit is at least 138(?) files per screen. No problems for 'root' directory (aka \) but sub-directories can be more than 112 files. But has a trick more dirty than Lauren's routine. :) Easy! A first and untested routine: 100 SCREEN 0: WIDTH 80: COLOR 15,4,0: DIM F$(255) (...) 500 POKE &F3B1,48: CLS: COLOR 0,0: FILES "*.*":L%=0 510 FOR J%=1 TO 47: FOR I%=0 TO 5:K$="" 520 FOR K%=0 TO 11:K$=K$+CHR$(VPEEK(J%*40+(I%*13)+K%)) 530 NEXT K%:F$(L%)=K$:L%=L%+1:NEXT I%,J% 540 POKE &F3B1,23: CLS: COLOR 15,4,0: RETURN (...) 800 REM "I'm too dirty for my shoes... :)" And XBASIC must be inserted in this routine. I don't know how but anyone must discovery how to work with matrix in this BASIC? :) Hey! Anybody knows the DM2 System? Is a lot of add-in BASIC commands developed by GIGAMIX group.

You'll verify... > 3. About the Kanji-ROM, I'd like to have more info about it, because > my I can't find any in my current documentation. (...) Kanji ROM? Is better call it from "JIS Driver" because it implements a text-mode emulation using JIS2 character set, not ASCII. You have 3 modes, KANJI = 256x212 w/ 16x16 chars; KANJI0 = 256x212 w/ 8x16 chars; KANJI1 = 256x424 w/ 16x16 chars and KANJI2 = 512x424 w/ 16x16 chars. Yes, the last 2 modes uses interlaced mode. Plus the text mode emulation you've the Kanji input mode, i.e., you press [Ctrl]+[Space] and type the text in Romanji (automatically it is translated to Hiragana or Katagana) on screeen bottom. After type the word you can press [Space] to do a query in KANJI Database to found a ideogram relative of the typed word. Ah! The Kanji Database is a ~256Kb MegaROM w/ 16x16 bitmap fonts. In GT machines you have another JIS2 Font w/ 12x12 fonts large used by MSX-View (to ST machines you can use a cartridge provided with View). You found the 32Kb of "driver" only the "program". > - Illusion City only supports MSX-MIDI when the computer has more than > 256k RAM. It supports both internal and external MSX-MIDI... Yes!

TR's BASIC (Principally VIEW)
Tristan, > I guess it has to do with MIDI and/or MSX-VIEW. Well... This "boys" aren't included in ROM BASIC. The MSX-MIDI BASIC commands are in a "external"* ROM like in MSX-Music, RS-232, etc... And MSX View... MSX View is featured with some things: + ROM Disk with MSX View files (libraries, binnaries, DAs, etc...); + SRAM Disk (msxdos2.sys, command2.com, view.com, etc...); + ROM w/ a 12x12 JIS2-Font (254Kb of kanjis); + Floppy with others MSX View related things. About MSX-VIEW, do you know that it can be patched to run in MSX2 machines? Ok, MSX-VIEW is soo slow in R800 mode and is in Japanese but if you've a MSX2 with JIS2-Driver and MSX-DOS2 you can do it (ops! you need patch the Turbo-R-check after...) I said it because VIEW is originally knew as HALNOTE the difference is DOS2 support, standard JIS2 calls and one or two routines changed. I ran some HALNOTE software in VIEW. I think that MSX View are only included in ROM on GT machines because don't had built-in Harddisks. Hey! About VIEW! I'm look others VIEW users (Yes!

MSX-Basic V3.0 and higher
Dirk, The command included in MSX Basic 3.0 (MSX2+) is the "SET SCROLL" that scroll the screen using the V9958 resources. I don't remember of any new command. Anybody know? In MSX Basic 4.x (MSX Turbo R) are included the "_PCMPLAY" and "_PCMREC" to work with TR PCM's and the "_PAUSE" that enable you to make pauses without the "for i=0 to 99:next i", this command get the syncro direcctly from S1990 then the pause is the same in Z80 or R800 mode. Other commands are the relative to JIS-Driver. Remember that this commands are included in SubROM and the SubROM don't increase your size since MSX2. By the way, do you know that the MSX-DOS2 ROM provided in RuMSX (the powerfull Turbo-R emulator) is the 2.2 version and not 2.3 (preperlly of TR machines).

About text editors I found a good text editor lost in a japanese pages called Viper... I don't remember if it's multi-tab... :( Is a good editor, is fast, has a lot of seach options, edits more than one file in same time, works in 80 and 40 columns, open large files, is easy to use and is free! The only problem is think that all user is japanese and redefine it on startup. Interested people can point browsers at "www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/2472/msx-stuff", here has some good utilities, games and applications for MSX Machines (try Kame and NView too!).

More about HC-95
People,
1. Yes! This MSX was made by JVC, or Japan Victor Company... :)
2. This computer uses a Hitachi processor that works like a Z180. And
this computer has a hardware switch to change between Z80 and this
chip HC{something}... :)
3. This computer is a MSX2, has MSX2 in case... :)
4. Inside HC-95's case you see to large board (with the same size),
one has CPU, PSG, RAM and otherthings and the other has a video
board.
If I'm not wrong this computer don't is fully MSX compatible... :)

Victor HC95
People, > what's this Victor HC 95? Never heard of it. Is a MSX2 made specially to video producing with genlock and video capture built-in. This computer is a "like" MSX2, with 128Kb RAM (or 64Kb?), 128Kb VRAM, RS232, Gen-Lock, digitizer and two disk drives. And this computer has two CPUs! One classical Z80 running at 3,54Mhz and Hitachi Z180-like processor running at 6Mhz (wow!). This MSX includes one MSX standard slot (in front) and a bizarre ad unknow slot in other side. --- Giovanni Nunes [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/2472/ MSX Mailinglist.

I can be wrong but Ademir Carchano isn't developing a new MSX. He's making a new computer!! But this computer will be converted ina a MSX machine. How? Easy, Ademir knows that insert old MSX-hardware (PSG, PPI, etc...) only will reduces the Z380 speed. Then he's creating a new computer and a small "cartridge", this cartridge will add all MSX functions in EDUCAR. Yes!

What is EVA?
greeeting programs, What is EVA? EVA is... EVA (ESE Video Authoring) is a video format created by ESE people. Is developed to use the speed and the built-in PCM from Turbo-R machines equiped w/ MegaSCSI. Has size of 128x106 pixels and 19268 colors (yes! SCREEN 12), digital audio (synchronized with video animation, obvious) and no compression (I believe but I can't hack any EVA file yet). These videos can be created directly with a Turbo-R, VCR (Video Disc, DVD, etc...) and a HBI-V1... Or converted from "Cinepak CODEC" of SEGA Saturn videos using a utility (inside MegaSCSI disk). The speed is about 12 fps (thanks to 712Kbit/s transfer rate in R800 mode) but can ber configured to 10fps and you can use a external PCM (this option I don't know but I think that is related to the PCM REC/PLAY cartridges sold in Japan before 1990). After the PATCH made from M.Pazos and Okey the limit of a ESE file was about 32Mb (I've a 24Mb EVA!) and now you can create video clips with at least 200Mb. Each second consumes 512bytes per second. Any thing about EVA? Ah! You can't play direcctly from CD-ROM because it must a 512 butes sector (and CD-ROM has 2048 bytes sectors...).

New MSX: The "Educar" Project...
Hi, You're talking about a lot of ideas of a new MSX. But I only see in the horizon two thigs, one is the MMSX a MSX with Z380 and a lot of Z8 around the board (Pardial is using the same technology of old XT and AT clones. The use of microcontrolers for do all). The other is a new, clean and modern machine, the Educar Project from Ademir Carchano, but what is EDUCAR? Easy! EDUCAR (as Educational) is a Z380 machine with various Altera's FPGA for do all tasks, like Video, CODECs, Sound, Sprites, etc... The same Amiga's idea but using "smart" components the FPGAs from Altera. Why Smarts? Because are programable ICs and not a "roachs" made my Yamaha, Intel, Motorola, Telefonica :), etc... In another hand, if you know how to program FPGAs you'll can do it in EDUCAR and change your computer in a new thing. Hate the video mode? Do a new mode with organization and number of colors that you choose! Yes, Ademir is a bit nuts. He's a "Old-Fudeba"... :) The idea is good but exists any solid? Yes! Ademir is working in EDUCAR and promisses a prototype in Jau' Meeting in november. He said that Educar will be entire-USB and, the video modes will be only one 4096x4096 in two video-windows of 256x256 and 512x512 (interlaced) with 32768 colors. The machine will be built in a keyboard case (like A1200, A600, etc...) with main-board and a solid-state small-HD (totally Kids proof! Is a computer to be used in schools!) and the other part will be a small case with video connectors, USB ports, Slot, etc... But it not is a MSX! Yes! Not is a MSX, not need to hold a 32bit CPU with old hardware and software. But you can emulate MSX by hardware. A cartridge with Altera's FPGAs to emulate V9958, OPLL, etc... The fact is that nobody (except us) will buy a computer called MSX (Here in Brazil, talk about MSX is like talk that "you love devil" to a preach). Then a good idea is make a new computer. EDUCAR will be with a new-BASIC, new-LOGO a small Word Processor, Spreadsheet, WWW Browser and E-mail client inside. A machine to be buyed for schools and for kids. Ademir said in ExpoSALT ''Try to fix kids that knew computers as PC, Windows 9x, Intel, Microsoft, etc... is impossible! The future is with kids that don't are "wrong" yet.'' --- Giovanni Nunes [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/2472/ MSX Mailinglist.

About ACEs.
Hi! > Forgive me the pun... A sisterboard? :P~ No! ACE-1 is a MSX Board to be inserted in PC cases, has a Z84 at 10Mhz, 8 Slots and 4 SIMM memory sockets. And you insert boards like a PC (Video Board, Floppy Controller, etc...). The ACE-2 is a small (very-small) MSX board all circuits are replaced by a Altera's FPGA, but a Z84 still at 10Mhz. :) Ah! ROM and RAM are inserted in this board. Has one slot (because is a prototype) and a switched power supply (half of board is reserverd for it). And wait for the future for a ACE-3, but this computer I don't talk... :) For finish... All boards are full MSX computers, you can put IDE, SCSI, MoonSound, etc... --- Giovanni Nunes [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/2472/ MSX Mailinglist.

Games for Joynet!
Hi!,
>- Grand Theft Auto alike, but without cars and with a lot of gangsters. Some
> kind of deathmatch. (something for my gfx-engine I think)
This Game I don't know... Sorry. :)
>- A Real Time Strategy (although I don't know yet if JoyNet is fast
> enough for Strategic Army)
>- A Micro Machines (or Greatest Driver 2D Special)-like game (racing
> with a top-view, should be possible in screen 4) (has lots of 'egale
> vlakken', so screen 4 has enough colors I think)
No problems w/ SCR2/SCR4 graphics, worry with the code... :)
I like draw in this screen mode.
>- A 2-player RPG???
> (with 'mission objectives' of which both players can do the half)
A game like XaK 3? But w/ players going to diferent ways, not?
>- Tetris network (maybe Triplex can be adapted???)
It is old, try another idea... :)
>- Tic-Tac-Toe for 2 MSX-computers (duh!!!)
Jogo da velha ("Old-woman's Game") ?
> Anyways, I like the Micro Machines and Gangster-game most. If you

I can help you with graphics and algoritms (Z80 Asm code not is my

A emulator? The last emulator that I knew displayed S12 pictures in
greyshade tones... :) The major problem is the "blur" but you can
solve this problem using the mode 8(?) {256x212 12k colors) that
enable a mixed RGB and YJK screen. And about convert YUV (or YJK?) you
can do it in another (a fast and fat) computer. I do it on my draws,
first in PC and last in MSX.
