Good Afternoon at all,

do you have a way to make the English version work with SofaRunIt (SRI.com)?
It always stops me immediately after I click on the "0" button to start the game.

Isn't there a harddisk installable version of it? I used that one without problems directly (without SRI).

That exists indeed and works very well.

yes exist, but after creating the .001,002,.003 files with fdsave.com and put all file into a SD (with nextor), when start snatcher.com, the screen freeze on basic....

The same thing happened with OpenMSX and emulating MegaFlashRom scc+ SD, after creating a little hdd, when launch snatcher.com, the system stuck.

I use a Philips 8280

Could you try it with a turbo R in openMSX?

Yes, in OpenMSX had a Turbo MSX, only one had a capability to work with SD

Did it work in openMSX to play Snatcher on an emulated turbo R (Panasonic FS-A1GT / FS-A1ST) ?

I only tried it on a turboR myself. Perhaps it needs more RAM or something?

That's my guess indeed.

From the readme one can conclude it needs 144kB mapped ram when run from floppy disks or 176kB when run from mass storage (harddisk/SD/CF).

So a plain 8280 is not good enough, but if the MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD comes with the built in 512kB mapper, it should be OK. Perhaps the game cannot handle the mapper being in the same main slot as the disk driver and the SCC?
