MSX 1 emulator for playstation, version 0.5

This version was a quick hack in 3 days, and the 3rd thing I made for my Yaroze system. One of the main things I had to do, was to convert the file loading routines for loading the .ROM files to something I could use with my yaroze. A quick solution was to convert the binary .ROM files to .H files to be included with my sources. This is a simple solution until I can load files through the serial link.

Usage:

Because the .ROM files are (I think ?) still copyrightened you should get your own version. You need MSX.ROM and a 16 Kb game rom (or remove the LoadCart(gamerom,0); line in msx.c). Try the fMSX homepage for more information about getting this rom. The program bintoh.exe will convert binary files to .h files. Usage: bintoh infile outfile stringname.
  • Convert the MSX.ROM file to msxrom.h using: bintoh msx.rom msxrom.h msxrom
  • Convert your 16 kb gamerom using: bintoh game.rom gamerom.h gamerom, or remove the LoadCart(gamerom,0); line in msx.c
  • Use 'make' to make a new version of the fmsx executable
  • use 'siocons auto' to upload the fmsx executable to your playstation
    The cursor movement keys are emulated using the keypad, and the X is the spacebar. The upper buttons are '1','2','3','4' respectively.

    I read this, now how can I get it ?

    Here it is, in tarred and gzipped form. the .bin is just to let netscape know that it is for DOWNLOAD, and not to be viewed on the screen.
