Hi,
Have a screenshot of the SKIP word ?
What is the command you use to load cassette games and which games show this behaviour ?
Thanks,

I had a similar "SKIP" issue until I realised that I was inputting a command wrong. TOSEC's MSX .cas files have loading commands listed in file names and one of this commands is RUN'CAS-'. Typing the command as listed resulted in SKIP. Turns out that the actual loading command was RUN"CAS:" — the colon was replaced with a dash in file names due to Windows naming limitations. Switching dash with colon fixed SKIP issue for me.
