[MSX] New Mega Flash ROM available
NEW MEGA FLASH ROM NOW FOR SALE Manuel Pazos and Armando Perez (Ramones) have their new Mega Flash for sale now. 1.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. If you don't know this product, maybe you should know it: Mega Flash ROM is a cartridge which works with any MSX model and comes with a Flash ROM memory and with a set of characteristics that make it ideal for storing the real images of any ROM cartridge (.ROM files) which are available through Internet or inside several compilations distributed as CD. Its capacity makes that storing a ROM in the Mega Flash ROM and executing it will be the same as using the original cart. It is not an emulation. The characteristics of the Mega Flash ROM are similar to the ones of the original cart, in a 80% of times. For the remaining 20%, our loading program works as patcher and adapts automatically the ROM to the characteristics of the Mega Flash ROM, being transparent to the user in this way . The Mega Flash ROM cart comes with a modern Flash ROM chip which makes its data everlasting after being stored. This means that it doesn't work as a traditional memory which loses its contents when it is disconnected from the supply. Then it lets to carry data as if it were a floppy disk and keep the same ROM stored so much time as we desire without having to load it every time. Similar characteristics products exist or have existed in the market, as the italian SCC RAM or the LPE Flash G by Leonardo Padial, being only this last product the one which is closer to the characteristics of the Mega Flash ROM, because of using the same kind of memory chip. 2.- PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS. Mega Flash ROM doesn't make use of any JUMPER / SWITCH for its different configurations as other similar products. Everything is handled via soft and transparent for the user. Mega Flash ROM only comes with a switch (push-button) for avoiding the ROM execution when the MSX is turned on (or after a reset). If this switch was not available it'd made impossible to load any new program without inserting the cart while the computer is on. Mega Flash ROM comes with its cart-box and with a label. Then, it is not only a printed circuit board. In this way the circuit is protected of damages. In short, it is like a traditional cartridge. 3.- DIFFERENT VERSIONS. It is possible to get different Mega Flash ROM versions : [] BASIC MODEL : Equipped with 512 Ks of Memory, with ASCII8/16 mapping. [] SRAM MODEL : Equipped with 512 Ks of Memory, ASCII8/16 mapping and 2K or 8 Ks of SRAM memory. SRAM memory doesn't disappear after taking the supply out. It normally comes with a small battery button with a big autonomy. The SRAM is ready for saving saved games of the games which are ready for it, without needing of use a floppy or a hard disk. It makes the operation more transportable. Then, if we play a game and save the state in SRAM, we can carry the Mega Flash ROM SRAM to other computer and continue the saved game from where we were before. It is also possible to store the SRAM contents to disk and vice versa. [] SCC MODEL. Equipped with 512 Ks of Memory, with Konami SCC mapping. This kind of Mega Flash ROM is built from a Konami SCC cartridge. It lets us not to use other slot for enjoying the SCC sound when a Konami game is played with those characteristics. [] EXTENDED BASIC MODEL : Equipped with 1024 Ks of Memory, with ASCII8/16 mapping. This is an experimental model being developed. It is similar to the basic model but comes with more storage capacity. This lets us to use the main Flash memory as SRAM. Then, saved states can be stored in that Flash, without needing of SRAM. Furthermore, it lets to make game compilations, that prepared with a selector program, would let us to have more than a megarom game in the same flash and then be able to change the game using the selector after the boot of the computer. 4.- LOADING PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS (OPF.COM) OPF.COM is the program which loads the files and store them in the Mega Flash ROM. The program is fully compatible with any MSX model with at least disk drive unit. This is a program for MSXDOS, being compatible DOS2 too. Then, let's to revise the characteristics : [] Compatibility with all MSX models. [] Full compatibility with MSX-DOS2, letting to load programs from any storage device (HD, CD-Rom, ZIP, ) [] Compatibility with MSX Turbo R, and use of the R800 speed. [] High speed of loading and erasing of programs. Using the special characteristics of the Am29F040B chip, OPF makes the erasing and writing verification faster than any of the actual programs. [] Transparent to the user. It is maybe one of the best characteristics of OPF combined with Mega Flash ROM. We can divide them in 2 parts : * No need of jumpers : OPF detects automatically the ROM which is being tried to load. If the ROM needs a 8 Ks mapping, OPF prepares the cart for that. Similar characteristics for a ROM with 16 Ks mapping

Re: game I didn't know (La abadia del crimen)
Hmm, too bad the controls are a bit irritating and hard to get used to. Because of the bad controls I got lost of my 'servant' and I keep missing the vespers or other things I have to do in this wicked abbey... ;-) Really? I find the controls very easy to use ;) I think it is the best control system for this kind of game, because the point of view changes in every screen. So, in order to keep a straight way, you only have to press UP, and you don't need to care about the point of view. Right key always turn to your(William's) right, and left always turn to your left.

If I recal correctly you started during WW1, then moved on to WW2 then the korean war (helicopters) then jets and then ufo types of planes In between the stages it had a short animation, like the plane landing, the pilot getting out and run behind a cactus to tinkle and then take of again.

RE: What is EVA?
Hi,
Manuel, Okei know how is the organization of EVA file? (how is the file
structure)
Can you ask her about that? In Brazil many peoples (and me too) want to
know that.
No problem, I can explain EVA format (I examined it some time ago).
1- EVA files 10fps:
- Each frame takes 30 sectors (15Kb)
- First 128x106 bytes are YJK data
- Rest of bytes are PCM data
- Last two bytes indicates PCM size (they should be 1575 =15.75k/10fps)
2- EVA files 12 fps (this one uses a 'dirty' system):
- Each frame takes 30 sectors too
- Data is stored in this way:
[{PCM(1byte)+PIC(11bytes)}*11+PCM(1)+PIC(7)]*106 lines
- Rest of bytes are PCM data
- Last two bytes indicate the same (they should be 1312 or 1313=15.75/12fps)
I hope you to find this info useful.
Bye,
Manuel

RE: What is EVA?
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 EVA files are not compressed. 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). External PCM indicates that the sound is taken from the 'jack' in the back part of turbo R. Internal PCM uses built-in microphone of turbo R. 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. Each second takes 150Kb (in 10 frames mode). So each frame takes up 30 sectors. 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...). Well, that is not the reason. The reason is that CD drive 'is not fast enough' using the same read system that in HDD. EVA player read byte by byte with a SCSI command, and CDs are not fast enough in that way. Anyway, you can play EVAs from CD with a modified EVA player made by Trunks (sorry, I don't remember the URL). But don't expect too much, it just show frame by frame (with sound) but not in the right time. It is slow. Furthermore, with this program you can see EVA on a turbo R without MegaSCSI, because it uses MSXDOS2 file handle system. End of History... Ok... more news; Okei is trying to modify EVA program to digitize more than 32MB on MSX. Regards, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.

There is not any format utility for FAT16 (I think) And do you know a easy way to clear a MegaSCSI partition? I don't a Coping on it a 'clean' FAT / Directory. You can try to save a clear partition, using FDSAVE, and them copy it to another partition. I'm having a lot of problems with ASPI Zips! My PC refuses to read this disks! I believe that only in Win95 and can do it and I don't use it (look in message header: PINE.LNX...). I've a lot of things to It works right on my computer. I used ASPI ZIP disk on WIN95 and 98 and it worked right. transfer for write another CD (EVAs! I'm with 16 EVAs including openning and ending from "Oh my Godness", "Gundan", "Evangelion" and videos converted from Sega Saturn). I did the same :) I have that videos and a lot more (about 1.2 Gb) Hey! The "final version" in your page displays "0.2" and isn't work properlly. I believe that you copy the wrong file... You can check it? 'Final version' is '0.2' and it is the right file :) Why do you say that it doesn't work? Bye, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.

FAT16 source code.
Hi, I've uploaded source code of FAT16 to my homepage. I've included an English DOC in FAT16 program explaning how to use it. Maximun size of FAT16 partition is 230Mb and not 2Gb as I said, sorry...

RE: More FAT16...
Hi, Manoel, My name is Manuel :) Because it seems to work right. Then this is a final version, now only upgrades and new features, not? Maybe, but don't expect too much. /P is used to select a partition on HDD What that maximum martition size? About 2 Gb. /Bxxx is used to select the start block (boot sector) Then I can boot with a FAT16 partition? You, Okey or another freak has a partition format utility to enable it? I don't wanted to mean that. Start block is used to indicate the bootsector of the disk. There is not any format utility for FAT16 (I think) Good! But How I can create (store, write) my very very large EVA files? I can write in partitions or the FAT16 still "read-only"? You can READ/WRITE files with FAT16. The I'm idiot using ZIPs with 4 sub-partitions... Hmmm... I hate me!! :) Don't think so. FAT16 takes a lot of time when calculating free disk space. So it is boring using all the time FAT16. It is nice to use it for interchange information with a PC, or for big EVAs :) Really? I can write my files and stupid programs in large 32Mb partitions? I'm a happy fudeba! And you're fudeba too! :) Yes, you can work with partitions bigger than 32Mb. But beware with programs that modify FAT (CHKDSK /F) or so!! Furthermore, some programs like Multi Mente don't work right with FAT16, because it don't use 'compatible' commands or rutines.

RE: READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MSX PRINT. (fwd)
Hi, Don't show Sonyc, please! As we read in the last Hnostar, ASCII was bought by CYK, the Sega's holding. And Sonyc is a violent Sega's rip-off. We must have problems (well, I think so!). I don't think ASCII has problems with this Sonyc-ripoff. The point is to show what MSX can do. Thanks Laurens, I agree. I don't think SEGA will take care of us at this point.

RE: FAT16 final version...
Why 'final version'? I downloaded this version but not tested yet (and what my "home-works" I'll not test in this next week). Because it seems to work right. Another thing. Who is the 'english' (spanish, portuguese, freench or latin) version of FAT16.DOC?? I know how to use the program but I don't know what is this new switches "/P" (partition?) and "/B". It is in japanese. Former version included a Spanish DOC. /P is used to select a partition on HDD /Bxxx is used to select the start block (boot sector) There you will find a new version of EVA player for FAT16 that can play EVAs bigger than 32Mb. A 200Mb EVA file was tested on MO and worked right. Good! But How I can create (store, write) my very very large EVA files? I can write in partitions or the FAT16 still "read-only"? You can READ/WRITE files with FAT16. To make big EVA files you can digitize them with MSX and fix them with a PC (Example: COPY 1.EVA /B + 2.EVA/B BIG.EVA) Greetz, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.

RE: Sonyc
Thank you Cas, but I am not very proud of that code :( I think I can do it twice better now. Oba ! Nice ! So, it means that we will have a new "enhanced" version of Sonyc ? (Sonyc+) ? Perhaps with falling water and spinning rings ? I don't think so. I will not make second part of Sonyc, at least by now. Sonyc sales were not good, so if people don't want that kind of game I will not make it. Anyway, forget 'spinning rings', a V9958 has a limit and Sonyc is near it. Bye, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.

RE: FAT16 for Megascsi
Hi, Somebody in Japan is working on a FAT16 driver for Megascsi. You can download it from the following URL: http:/www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~okei Though, you should be aware of the fact that the driver is still in a beta phase and might contain bugs which can lead to dataloss. You are right. As I said some months ago, Okei and me were working on a patch for MSX-DOS2 for working with FAT16 in MegaSCSI. The latest version of FAT16 was made only by Okei, due to my lack of time. But, as usual, SHE made a great work (she is one os the best coders that I know). FAT16 supports HDD, ZIP and MO as far as now. She made a patch for EVA player which can play EVA files bigger that 32Mb. You can download both utils from my homepage too. (I must upload it, because it is only updated in my HDD, sorry) Best regards, Manuel --- Manuel Pazos Member of boh.ken http://personales.mundivia.es/mpazos --- MSX Mailinglist.

RE: SCSI-1? No, SCSI-2!!
Does anybody have detailed information about the partitioning scheme used by the MK interface? And by the megascsi? I do not intend to re-install my entire harddisk when switching from MK to megascsi. I just want to write a small program that reads the MK partition table and rewrites it to the harddisk in megascsi format. Ooops! I heard "partitioning"? Konami Man goes to rescue you! 8-) MegaSCSI partitionning system is based in a file with information for each partition (begin, end sector, and number of sectors) codified with an own format and placed in each partition. But actually MegaSCSI formatter also puts standard partitionning information (same as PC) in the sector 0 and in the first sector of each partition, so MegaSCSI disks can be read in PC without problems (I said this some months ago, now I remember). Want this information? You also can put the 'pointer' of MegaSCSI to select a partition in a very easy way. So it is supposed that you can access any partition of any disk (if it is MSX-DOS compatible :) Greets, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.
