If you make a elite.sys for me , only for test , send for jfestrelabr@yahoo.com.br
I'm sorry I cannot start making and/or distributing games for the emulator, but I can give you an example of the PKG file needed for creating a SIS packet for Elite:
;-------- start of Elite.PKG file
#{"MSX Elite"},(0x101FBD1F),0,92,0,TYPE=SP
(0x101F6F88),0,0,0,{"Series60ProductID"}
"C:msxmsx.rom.gz" -"!:systemappsfmsx
ommsx.rom.gz"
"C:msxElite.dsk.gz" -"!:systemappsfmsxdataElite.dsk.gz"
(0x101FBD1F),0,92,0,{"fMSX/S60"}
;-------- end of Elite.PKG file
Save the above file as "C:msxElite.PKG". Now, if you make sure you have both of the source files (c:msxmsx.rom.gz and c:msxelite.dsk.gz) you should be able to make Elite.SIS by saying "makesis elite.pkg" in the command prompt.
yes it works with fmsx unix, it's a .dsk image by the way... it hangs on startup and show repetedly the msx logo animation
It seems to be a bug in my MSX-DOS 2 support, I'll try to fix it for the next release.
The game works if you don't have MSX-DOS 2 ROM installed, i.e. put only MSX1 disk ROM but no MSX-DOS 2 and then it works.
[edit]
Found the bug, the ROM mapper for MSX-DOS2 was not set up correctly. It is now fixed for the next release.

Great you figured it out! Btw I tried the game removing msx-dos2 and now finally works but... is there a way to speed up loading time? It really takes ages.. I wonder if you can implement some option to speed up loading like many emulators for pc do. Something like make going on a key press the emulator 500% faster than the real speed of the machine.
Do you know what CPU there is in the Series 60 phones, DJ?
My guess is 60 MHz
100mhz
who bids more?
Not me, but they shouldda called it the Series 100 then
It depends on the phone, Series 60 platform itself does not dictate the MHz On a 7650 or 3650 I think it's 103MHz.
And yes, I could speed up the disk access with the cost of memory. Now I'm not loading the dsk file into RAM at all and that's why it's slow - for every MSX disk access it will open/seek/read/close the Symbian OS file... stupid but saves memory Furthermore, if you use gzipped dsk files it's even worse as you can probably guess...
Humm, I think that not so many people have read my posts in this thread... Nokia 7650 and 3650 are based on a StrongARM Risc Processor at 104 Mhz. About the new Series 60 phones, like the N-Gage, I don't know what processor do they have, but you can bet for it will be the very same...
