Cheers!

it's the image file of an SD card.
So you have to open the vhd file with software for sd image file

Indeed! I love it!
I have just played Inspecteur Z. What a fantastic platform game!

Works well, but needs 15KHz native video support.

Thanks to the help of @ron and the file of @tontonkaloun, I got the core "more or less" working. I say more or less because most of the time it hangs and once it boots, I have corrupted character at the screen. This is something that I cannot see on the videos and according to the previous posts nobody has this kind of issue. Any idea where this could comes from ? Is the core working with the 128mb memory ? Or is there anything that I missed ? Thank you for your help

It's amazing.
There is nothing more to do than copy the core and the vhd file to the msx1 directory
I don't have this problem!
A problem with the SD card? Have you tried rewriting the files?
It does not come from the ram and anyway I also have 128 mo

It is better to transfer by ftp than by sharing smb !!

[kathleen]

Yes, it is what I did, and I tried this with different SD cards where all work anyway with all other cores and still the same issue. I did a fresh installation and still the same. I'm totally confused. The main Mister file is also the one provided so I'm lost...

[tontonkaloun]

I just tried again on my side ... No problem

[tontonkaloun]

here is my config msx1

[kathleen]

Thank you, I've just copy the files and same graphic issues, see the red area for instance where you'll see what I have.

you get to this screen?
no further?
if yes it is not the right vhd

[kathleen]

Here is exactly what happened with the files you provided me (and also with the other ones I had used before)
I already have corrupted characters at the MSX logo prompt (the very 1st screen when the MSX1 boots)
Then it goes to the basic screen shown above and that's it.
I've even just notices that if I write something at the basic screen, the core reboot ...
Really weird that this happen only on my config. I surely do or have something wrong but I do not know what.

I don't understand !!!!
Are you doing the transfer by ftp?
Did you compare the files?


here is a crc control file

[kathleen]

I used Samba to make the transfer (directly via window explorer then)
But it is a good point. I'll try by FTP using filezilla, I remember I had to do this for the scrips which were not working by using samba.
Will test and let you know.

If you are on Beta3, try Beta2 instead.

it is absolutely necessary to avoid the SMB transfer, in any case for the writes

[Alkadian]

Hi Guys,
Just to confirm that I have no issues with both the core file itself and VHD file. I have also a 128 mb module in my setup. I have tried to transfer the files over sftp again but everything worked fine.
That’s very odd!

[ron]

If you have some issues with Beta03, Yo_Me said Beta02 should work. Give it a try please.

[kathleen]

@ron,
YES ! Sorry to do not have thought using the previous build. I do confirm the Beta02 works like a charm now.
So Beta03 can have issue then with some DE boards ?
Thank you one more time, also to @tontonkalun to have spent time to help on this and to @Alkadian.

[ron]

Not at all, you're welcome. Enjoy. Cheers.

[Alkadian]

@ kathleen,
I am glad to hear you got it working at the end.

Hello @tontonkaloun.

I have read the whole thread about MSX and I confirm that the files you shared work without problems.

The first VHD image you have created is 16 Mb and the second about 65 Mb, but I wanted to know how you created them, because I am interested in making a larger image. I can't do it with the indications in the thread.

Thanks and best regards

you missed the third

It's just an SD image renamed to vhd with the two necessary files indicated by Ron

Hello @tontonkaloun

Thanks for sharing the last file. It works perfectly.

According to what the thread says, an image must be generated in FAT16 and then renamed to VHD. There are other forums that argue that the format must be FAT12. Anyway, there are many applications that generate images, but not all of them work. What application do you use to generate the images?
