That drive A; was the ROMdisk of the MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD, I guess It's a ROM disk!

I just gave this tool a spin. Lovely piece of software!

I am running into one issue, though - I can't get anything to work with Game Master on my A1ST.

All the roms I've tried load fine without Game Master, and I've set the directories correctly in the .ini. However, when I launch a rom with GM2 or GM1 selected, it either hangs after "CD GM2" or it loads GM1 but the penguin looks sad and the "game" option doesn't work. I've tried a number of Konami ROMs.

Any ideas?

You must add SofaRun and OPFXSD to the path. OPFXSD is in the path by default after booting the ROM Disk.
Type from command line (or make a .BAT file) with:
PATH A:\;A:\BIN;B:\SOFARUN (or whatever path you need)

You don't need patched versions of Game Master 1/2

Yeah, both executables are in the path. I'm using original copies of GM1 and GM2 from the TOSEC archive.

For GM2, that might be because you don't have enough RAM (you need more than 128KB RAM for this).
There was a problem with GM1 in some configurations, I sent you a PM !

This is on a Turbo R ST with 256kB and a MFR SCC+ SD.

It's also generally reproducible in openMSX with the same configuration, although in openMSX Sofarun doesn't seem to detect the emulated MFR SCC+ SD.

Replied to PM. :-)

Hi all, I am having the same problem as mfeingol and bigjaac.
Running Metal Gear 1 with Game Master 2 selected causes the menu to freeze at "cd GM2"

INI:
ROMPATH=B:\KONAMI
SAVEPATH=B:\SAVES

PATH:
PATH A:\;A:\BIN;B:\

SD card is set as B: drive
MGEAR1.ROM is in B:\M
SOFARUN.COM is in B:\

I am using a Megaflashrom SCC+ SD, boot holding ESC to access the menu, then quit the menu and run sofarun from DOS.

Would appreciate any advice!

Hi Newtmonkey,
Could you try to go to the B: drive before launching SofaRun ?
Let me know of your results !
