Sharksym's ASO remake - update | MSX Resource Center

Sharksym, the Korean MSX developer who has created an MMC/SD cartridge, is currently making steady progress with his ASO remake for MSX TurboR. He has recently updated his ASO (Armored Scrum Object) remake, a game in the genre ruled by Aleste; he's finished the first stage including all units, map, and boss. The game he's writing uses his own VDP library for Hitech-C and some game data from the original arcade version, which were extracted by MAME. For sound and music, the game supports Moonsound and MSX-AUDIO.

To see all this for yourself, you can watch the video and play the game (files for MSX-DOS2) in its current state yourself, by simply following the relevant links.

Progress after progress.
It's shaping up to a very good (arcade quality) port.

You can select MSX-AUDIO like Philps MusicModule.
Please, try as "ASO /A" on DOS2 shell.

openMSX has LOTS of bugs on it yet.

The more options they add to it, the more the bugs will pop up.

I just used for few things and already found a bug there, the turboR emu on it is also buggy.

Also bluemsx is very crappy when emulating the msxTR
the problems are in the vdp command engine, in the r800 flags and in the r800 speed when accessing external roms

those are troubles appeared while coding the maze3d raycaster

Gradius2: are you willing to help?

For example, it would help to make your statement more explicit: which bugs? When do they occur (how can we test them)? Are they new bugs or old bugs? Does it work better in other emulators? (Which?)

If you help with this, I'm sure next release will have less bugs.

It works on real MSX turbo R ugraded to 512KB or more and needs the Moonsound.
It works on equivalent MSX turbo R emulated with BlueMSX but not OpenMSX 0.15.

I didn’t play extensively, but it seems to work fine for me on openMSX 0.17.

(The regular version, didn’t try the special version patched for BlueMSX.)
