Another question, I think I can save a lot of memory, about 5kb on one of the two images, by using zx spectrum colouring for one of the images for an MSX1 screen. Can I use an Akusprite export to colour an MSX1 screen in the style of the ZX Spectrum? Still need to know about banks because I want the...

I am reading your notes and I think I am beginning to understand how bank of memory work on the MSX 1. Just check with you I have understood it correctly so far. So the 64K is split into four banks which are of size 16k. Each bank is addressed by a slot or a subslot of a slot. The cartridge banks on...

Bank switching only applied to cartridges as far as I understand. Are you saying it will work if the program was made as a MSX-1 tape image? Because tape cannot use banks of memory as it is sequentially and mechanically loaded. So two screens can be loaded into the RAM of a 64K MSX-1.

I want to use the your bitmap simulation code, that uses all 3 tile banks in screen 2, for MSX 1 to load more than one background screen for a game. I thought it would just be a simple straight forward extension. I will describe a simple extension I tried -but why doesn't it work? The starting point...

Do you have the code for software sprites, that can be coloured and placed anywhere the screen like the hardware sprites , for the MSX1 ? I see you have done software sprites on other systems.

Yes, it works now. So for anyone else solving the same problem; the correct simple MSX BLOAD program ,using VASM, is org &BFF9 ; replace with your required address db &FE ; Bload header signature dw Begin ; begin address of the program dw Programend ; end address of the program dw Begin ; ad...

Hi, I did do what you suggested, program is below, but still the simple program does not compile with VASM. org &BFF9 ; db "FE" ; Bload header signature dw Begin ; begin address of the program dw Programend ; end address of the program dw Begin ; adress of where to execute program Begi...

I think i can make Arkos Tracker 2 work -but first I need to know how to make a .BIN file work. All the files in this message are in the ZIP file. So I am trying to learn how to make a .BIN MSX program with VASM assembler. I am having a problem,using VASM, compiling a minimal .BIN program that simpl...

I still can't I can figure out the Arkos Tracker 2 for use with MIDI. So another way to do it would be I suggest that you do, or an interested reader, is to modifiy you Chibisound so it can play, a lot of professional songs, in MIDI format-the way to do this will be as follows. My song is in the sca...

Hello, I want to convert a MIDI file of a song, using Arkos Tracker 2, so it works with your MSX-1 hello world cartridge tutorial. Unfortunately It would take too much memory to convert a song, to decent quality, using Chibiwave. I watched your other video tutorial of using Arkos Tracker 1 but unfor...
