to switch disks hold 1 /2 /3 /4 (etc) and push space.. it will then select the disk numbers

woohoo! I love SMT and this is the more obscure game that never panned out sequels
its based off the original story that SMT used as very loose inspiration

there was even 6 more novels written by the author after megaten was adapted into games
the first two Digital Devil Story books have been fan translated if you look around
the rest not so much

yes the Megami Tensei (first ones) stuck close to the novels, but the "Shin" games (and everything after) were more of a loose inspiration

From Wikipedia "The version for personal computers (PC) is an action role-playing game which plays from a top-down perspective. Controlling Nakajima, the player explores the labyrinthine levels of a dungeon populated by enemies. Combat plays out in real time, with Nakajima fighting demons using both short-range melee attacks and ranged magic attacks. Each section of the dungeon ends in a powerful boss encounter.[2]["

@fallen summit Following on from the conversation in the Saturn channel. I’d like to learn more about the MSX/give it a go. I noticed there are two MSX cores on the MiSTer - what’s the difference, and how does their accuracy compared to e.g OpenMSX? 🙂
fallen summit
one core is based on the One Chip MSX (OCM) and only support VHD
the other core is made by @craggy iris who used the OCM as a base initially
the official core is limited to MSX1 only and works great
the beta core supports MSX2 but @craggy iris has switched priorities and the core development is on hold for now
zealous pine
Are they not both official cores?
zealous pine
Okay, so… just checking I get it:
- MSX_MiSTer is the original core based on OCM, and is basically “complete” and supports MSX1 & 2, but is a less convenient because it’s VHD only.
- MSX1_MiSTer is a newer core which is based on OCM, and benefits from being more convenient, but doesn’t support all of the features (e.g. MIDI?) of the above core, and is MSX1 only.
- Since then, Molekula has added MSX 2 support to the MSX1_MiSTer repo (same advantages as the MSX1_MiSTer core) but is still in beta so not complete? Need to get it from the GitHub branch rather than installing via update_all.
So if you’re not scared of using VHDs and a bit more setup: MSX_MiSTer is the most “complete”, albeit less convenient. And if you’re not scared of using beta software and want the convenience, it’s better to use the beta from the msx2 branch of the MSX1_MiSTer repo?
And if you’re not averse to software emulators, OpenMSX is the way to go? 😉
And I guess, assuming infinite dev time etc, the ambition would be for the beta msx2 branch of the MSX1_MiSTer repo to get merged into main/master, at which point it would/could probably replace the MSX_MiSTer core, in the same way the NukedMD core “replaced” the old Genesis core?
fallen summit
good summary

Awesome, thanks for checking I didn’t get it wrong. Now to dig into the game library 😄

v9900 / opl4 (moonsound)
the v9900 doesn't pipe back to the MSX and just has a separate video out - all processing is on the cart
moonsound uses the cart audio in to pipe audio back but doesn't take processing
anything beyond that would be too slow on an 3.58mhz msx

I need help with using MSX core. I don't know exactly how to use it. On the top it shows load hdv or something like that so that did not work.. There is no choice to run dsk image games or load them in MSX. Under slot #1 and Slot #2 it is already predefined megaflash cartridges but does not give me a choice to insert a ROM in the slot and to run the game. Then after that...all I get is black screen. No famous MSX logo or basic screen. Am I missing something for the MSX core?
fallen summit
what VHD are you using?
serene condor
none
the core does not allow me to use dsk or rom images
how do I run games in msx core?

Where do I get this?
I saw in video he used vhd to go boot and this popped up. But where do I find this to put it in my MSX folder
where do I find sofarun virtual hard drive for msx core? Also can't I just use a rom and put it in slot#1? I am unable to do it with the core
Ooooor you are saying I need a real cartridge hardware expansion to hook it into misterfpga and use real cartridges?
naive dagger
I believe there are two MSX cores, the first of which uses a VHD setup w/ SofaRun. The core is based on the One Chip MSX
The newer core allows for direct ROM loading

-faints-
Those things goes minimum for 1000 dollars at least on eBay!!
Is there in archive.org all the possible vhd games released for this core

does anyone here have experience connecting an actual MSX to a CRT?
I am new to this beauty, but I tried it tonight first tome and initially it worked with my Sony PVM (via a BNC adapter). However, the operation has become intermittent and now neither video nor audio is displayed... I am concerned that there may have been something wrong with the cable connection. Initially I thought it was some sync issue, but since at some point it worked perfectly fine I’m not sure…
I used a JP RGB 21-pin cable that I purchased last week and connected it to my CRT TV from 21-pin via a SCART adapter and then from SCART to BNC.
Now that it no longer works, I thought I might need to use the a RGB SCART cable directly instead of the 21-pin.
Did I fuck up?

in the msx bios where is the game selection or in the msx core options menu? In the BIOS where the file manager is located, the F1 button works as a confirmation
in contra it works like PAUSE
spark jacinth
I mean the MiSTer menu core
F1 changes the wallpaper, it will serve as a test to make sure the keyboard is using F1 when you press f1
But looks like you confirmed that.
warped beacon
on the msx itself there was a STOP button, probably it served as a pause
in contra it works, it probably means everything is in order with the button
spark jacinth
Oh your keyboard doesn't seem to have pause break or scroll lock
So if the core has it mapped to pause break which positionally would be similar then you might be outta luck on that. Not totally sure.
Try end, page up, page down. Those didn't seem to exist on the msx keyboard I'm looking at
warped beacon
Try end, page up, page down. Those didn't seem to exist on the msx keyboard I'm ...
I connected a full-size keyboard, none of the buttons you mentioned work, the pause function, maybe there was no pause on msx, only if it was not provided for by the game?
spark jacinth
yeah, i would suspect the game would have to be programmed to accept that button press as an input
try ctrl+end, ctrl+pageUp, ctrl+pausebreak
on the full size
i'm seeing a lot saying that ctrl+stop was kind of a kill switch, maybe it'll do something lol

What key combination on a bluetooth keyboard must be pressed to PAUSE the game?
Pause is different per game - Konami normally uses F1 - for the keyboard you have you might have to press fn and the f1 at the same time depending what model 😉
Keep in mind that the shift F1 = F6 and shift F2 = F7 (etc)

Did the msx mainly use the keyboard for games or does the controller work for everything by default?

Controllers work real nice, plus you can get mice
Not sure if any games use the mice
You can easily mod a Mega Drive 3-button for MSX
Same connector, but wiring needs to be changed a bit

the phone emulators always do this lol
they have to charge a certain amount because after a certain number of downloads they would have to be paying for every download, but i think it's a lot lower than 2 bucks each lol
i think this is only for the apple store though
if it's on android, as long as you aren't charging for anything, don't have any ads, etc... then it shouldn't cost anything for unlimited downloads

okay so maybe it's not bluemsx, maybe it is a new emulator given the bugs
or as bengalack said at the end... ocm-emulator bugs present
hrmmm
what is that other emulator and what is the license for it?
fallen summit
I just asked
with an example of how we dealt with this last time
MSX game was released on steam using a version of openMSX with DRM built in - which was not allowed according to the license
spark jacinth
openmsx is gpl v2 or v3?
fallen summit
also MSX VR was using openMSX code at one time - not sure if they still do these days
spark jacinth
depends on the drm if it's v2, if it's v3 then yeah pretty much most drm is a no go
fallen summit
Some source files contain a license notice; all other source files are
licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL), of which you can find a copy
in the file 'GPL.txt'. If you got a binary release of openMSX and are
interested in the sources, please visit our home page:
https://openmsx.org/
they refused to share their DRM stuff
so therefore not sharing changes made to the code
@spark jacinth the OCM is FPGA - not C++ or whatever code
spark jacinth
oh, well then that is kinda irrelevant then
it could be this person who wrote a bunch of OCR app frontends also can make an emulator given the huge amount of documentation already out there on the msx
fallen summit
true
but why do it when you can take it from a 22 year old codebase that has been optimized and perfected
spark jacinth

cyan horizon
We first need MSX2 core completed... we await the second coming of our lord, Molekula the MSX God
serene condor
LOL I have been asking for MSX turbo-R but everyone keep saying we need MSX 2 core completed.
Although it looks completed to me.
raw path
i saw a video on it the unit - looks intresting thats for sure and it is backwards compatible too
marble barn
My understanding is MSX1 core is the building block for expanding the core to be a full MSX2 core, which is still under development, and once we have a complete MSX2 core it is the building block to be expanded to a Turbo R core. However, Turbo R has chips in it that are complex that we don't have cores for and need more understanding, investigation and documentation. Furrtek was decapping and tracing some awhile back, but I am not sure what became of that.
sudden kite
are we forgetting about MSX2+ ?
marble barn
I clearly have, so yes, another stop on the road to Turbo R we need to pass 🙂

so it looks to be a long while till we have a 2+ or a T-R core Thanks for the info all!

marble barn
What is the status with the MSX2 core? Has there been any update recently? It is a shame it hasn't been merged into Main and added to unstable nightlies
lethal carbon
Unless someone steps up an MSX Turbo-R will never happen:
- CPU R800 (DAR800-X0G) at 28.63630 MHz external clock and 16-bit ALU.
- Yamaha YM-2413 OPLL
- T9769C MSX-ENGINE (also contains Z80A)
- V9978 Video Display Processor (best just directly go to that chip)
All are very well documented in the openMSX Project , this is a very mature emulator where the authors have done substantial non destructive tests to all chips on a most MSX machines to get the timing just right.
The current state of the MSX2 core is 'good enough' but it's still based on the OCM core with some exception for the disk controllers. I hope @craggy iris will have some time in the near future to resume work again.
Then there is the matter of ROM mappers, current ROMs do not have a header, I believe Vampier and Kintrix put some work into that already.
To make an MSX core that is plug and play ready a lot of work needs to be done on that front as well.
Currently the best collection out there is probably the one compiled by NosferatuMSX, but he/she(?) has indicated that this VHD image will not be updated anymore.
Sofarun does a decent job of auto picking most of the mappers for the ROMs
