Slot Expander Questions

The software should work too, but there is a trouble: most of amateur programs (like some demos) are not correctly made, so slot and subslot management is weird. By the way, I/O based cartridges (MSX-Music, Music Module, etc.) will work always (while you don't execute program in cartridge's ROM). I suggest you to put SCC in primary slot. Memory Mapper and DOS2 are correctly selected by MSX Bios/DOS2, so them will work on any sub-slot. But some Konami cracks will detect the SCC only if it's in a primary slot.

Well, because all (?) cracks use primary slotswitching when they play music over the SCC it won't work if you have your memory and the SCC in one slotexpander. You will have to rewrite the crack for that. My little program helps with one thing: if you have your SCC in the slotexpander its subslot is selected so you can use it if it were in a primary slot. After running it, most cracks should run fine. As long as you have your memory in another primary slot that is. About that KV2, can you mail it to me Manuel, maybe I can take a look at it? Jasper.

Unless you use the SCC detection program by Jasper Lautenbag that can be downloaded from my homepage. (See some previous mail.)

FM-PAK, Music Module, Dos2 and RAM can all be put in the memorymapper. (RAM preferrably in the first subslot). SCC can be put in the subslot but it won't be supported by most cracks. On my system, harddisk only works from primary slot. However, my expander is quite old. Maybe another expander or another HD-interface does work. ~Grauw -- >< email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ICQ: 10196372 visit the Datax homepage at http://datax.cjb.net/ MSX fair Bussum / MSX Marathon homepage: http://msxfair.cjb.net/ >< MSX Mailinglist.
