Huey, I did this with the loader:

10 poke -1,255
15 color 15,1,1
20 bload"hype.2-3",r
25 color 15,2,2
30 bload"hype.3-3",r

MSX Advance does loads (or at least pretends to load) the first block, since screen color turns into black and then green. About that poke, I tried it without the poke, and also with other values (-1,0 ; -1,170) with no success. I know that some games use it. What's that poke for, and what's that universal poke?

BTW, I tried it with "The Race" too. It did not work too, but it locked at the loading screen. It means that it at least loads some binary blocks made with DSK2ROM.

Perhaps Vincent van Dam is right. What mapper do you use in MSXAdvance?

MSXAdvance does not autodetect, but it accepts Konami4, Konami 5 (for SCC games), ASCII 8, ASCII 16 and R-Type. I've tried both Konami 5 and ASCII 8 (I have to select it manually). Using DSK2ROM with both kind of mappers, the result was the same. The ROMs work in BlueMSX, but not in MSXAdvance.

Have you tried the -f option of dsk2rom to ensure the rom size is 2^n?

Yes, always.

dsk2rom -c 2 -a -f -s disk.dsk disk.rom

But I also tried first without the -a (to create a Konami mapper), and also with -d or without -s.

My bet is a problem with MSXAdvance. Too bad.

MSXAdvance only have 32kb of RAM, so I dont think DSK2ROM will ever work on it.

Ah! dsk2rom will probably work, but a lot of the games in .dsk require more ram than 32k; looking at previous posts, it seems Hype probably requires 64k.

there does exist a dump, yes.

If Hype was ever released in cartridge form (I think so, because of its 32Kbytes size), can anyone send me the R... uh... more information?
{mod: no requests please}

Really, there's a rom dump? Can I get in on this, too?

Also, anyone have Hype on cassette for sale? After all this a WTB post.

{mod: no warez requests please}

I found the "information". Just paste the following in Google.

COOL!

[EDIT] Sadly, the ROM version works fine in BlueMSX, but does not work in MSX Advance either.

Thanks for the help, anyway.

Got it! Thanks

Guyz, please stop walking the "thin line" of warez/no-warez. Our policies are clear enough, aren't they?

I did neither ask for warez nor linked to sites with copyright material.

I am quite aware of the stupidity of softhouses about protecting copyrights that are not being commercially used for years. And I am also quite aware that MRC is not stupid enough to like this policy.

Anyway, I don't know about laws in your country, but pointing to a site that has copyrighted material is not considered piracy in Brazil, and besides that, suggesting directions that PERHAPS could link to copyrighted material is even less illegal.

Just my two cents. No more complaining.
