You need to update MiSTer as well for the last version of the core to work(2023.02.03), changes are not yet merged in main: https://github.com/tdlabac/MSX1_MiSTer/ ... ses/MiSTer

It's not a requirement. OSD freezing should not happen.

Re: New MSX Core In The Works

I added MSX1 to the official repository.
At the same time I replaced the BIOS with an opensource BIOS and added a few small things.

I don't know what the BIOS rights are. Before the official release, I would replace the BIOS with C-BIOS, where there is no rights problem.

Re: New MSX Core In The Works

@vampier I would say that PSG sounds almost spot on now. SCC sounds good for a 1st implementation but it seems that waveforms and channels are getting mixed up or something (hard to explain) If you want to have good test scenarios to see how accurate the core is please run Utopia demo by Dvik and JoyRex or Waves by the same people. The sound playba...

Re: New MSX Core In The Works

HI,
New version 20220117 adds support for Konami mappers, Konami SCC, ASCII8, ASCII16. If ROM > 1Mbit (128 kB) is loaded, used SDRAM in the core. If SDRAM is not available the ROM will not work and BASIC will appear.

It might be an issue with memory?
This may be due to lack of mapping support from cartrige. Currently no external mapper is implemented. More information could be provided if I know which specific ROM it is.

Re: New MSX Core In The Works

Does the core support audio in (loading from tape?) Yes, today's version allows emulation of the audio IN and cassette player. However, I have not tried the audio IN. I don't have it available on my HW. The cassette player emulation assumes a CAS file for MSX from the Mame project. I have tested it cursorily on one game composed of several files (...

Looks great already. How did you get around all the different kind of mappers? If needed I can help testing or provide mapper types if needed: https://romdb.vampier.net/Archive//softwaredb-latest.zip This zip file contains the Official XML ROM database for openMSX as well as a SQLLite file I hope the MSX will run at 60hz to make sure most games ru...

Re: Sord M5 (Japanese Computer)

Yes, it is true that the Sord M5 is very similar to the MSX-1. After all, the Sord M5 has a modified MSX bios and modified games to work. As I recall, the modification consisted of adjusting the VDP and keyboard addressing. Additionally, the bios routines had to be modified to work with the cassette player. Can be tested. Enable EM-64 + Basic - I a...
