OWWWW, I was confused, I mean Laydock 2, the one with the audio sample at start ,, sorry ,,,

I have tried and it works fine.
I can hear the audio sample, see the intro and start a new game. Where does it fail?

hmmm, I get the "disk basic version 1.0" screen, typing "files" gives me autoexec.bat and start.bin
So I'm sure Laydock 2 doesn't start here from my flashed .dsk, also the same with Pressing "D" while booting,
Sure, my .dsk version of Laydock 2 seems te work from the diskdrive, with the MFR removed, no need to press 'Control"
I'm working with the nsm8280
Exec c:autoexec.bat from MM gives me the black screen of laydock 2, but no sound, and it seems to lock
anyway, I can run it from floppy, without the MFR, so no big issue for me

We are using different game version for sure. AFAIK, Laydock 2 is a sector based game. So it has no files.
Are you sure you are loading Laydock 2 from T&E Soft?

From here I can reach the game's option menu where I can change Freq, Audio, and Slot location. My problem here is SCC+ is not recognized and if I choose the correct Slot, the game defaults to using PSG. I can play the game but only in PSG. Don't know what else to try. Any help is appreciated.

Please, update your dskrom.rom again and hold "S" key while booting. That should enable SCC/SCC+ sound.

Hi, I'm trying to play the english translation of Snatcher, and it crashes every time I try to play it. I've flashed the game's dsk images into diskrom and tried installing Snatcher onto a SD card, and both methods crashes the game at the boot screen. Is there a way around this?

The version of snatcher is from this website: http://www.amusementfactory.com.br/msx/snatcher/

Runs well here... Update your dskrom.rom...

Okay, I've updated my dskrom.rom then reflashed the disk images, but now it freezes at the boot screen. I've discovered that I can get past the boot screen if I leave a floppy in the disk drive. It doesn't seem to care what's on the floppy, the program just wants to access it.

When I flash dsk I use the command "OPFXSD SNATCHE0.DSK /D1" Is there another option I need to add?
I'm using a Turbo-R GT if that helps any.

I've played the installed version. I didn't flash it.

Yes indeed, You're right
I found 2 versions on msxarchive.nl, I used the "zip/laydock.dsk" version not "arj/laydock.000"
I renamed the laydock.000 version to laydock.dsk and it works from the MFR
It has the T&E intro screen, but no saved games,,
this arj / ".000" version is the original I guess,
Here you find my versions: archive.zip

Thank you Guillian. The game runs without crashing and the SCC+ is properly recognized. I've encountered a new problem though. After the intro, the game asks for "Disk 2" but I can't swap dsk images by "holding down # + space bar" combination.

Edit: Also I still have to insert a random floppy in the disk drive. Otherwise I can't get past Snatcher's boot screen. Its just weird.

@StephenM: But that game is Laydock 1, not Laydock 2
I tested Laydock 2

@rolins: It is weird, but the game does not support both keys at the same time. I have tested it and I could change the disk by pressing SPACE first and then, quickly, "3" key.

About having to insert a floppy in the drive. I think it is a fault in the conversion/translation.

Thanks again Guillian. Despite the minor weirdness, the game is playable and loading times is reduced. I guess that will be the trade off to using real diskettes.

Is there a program (or in the works) that will auto-fill the cartridge with roms stored on the SD card? Creating multirom.opf with dozens or even hundreds of games can get very tedious.

There is MAKEOPF.COM that makes a MULTIROM.OPF with all the ROM files in the current directory-
