that should be the word secondary between "<" and ">" symbols, but the forums screws it up.
@jvidal, you can use HTML entities (like < and > ) in the forum.
Regarding the first error you saw, that happens because those extensions conflict with the existing external slots in your selected machine. Regarding the second error, that happens because slot 0 is expanded while the extension expects it to be a primary unexpanded slot. Since those extensions are dock stations, they are bound to produce some errors with the majority of MSX machines.
I used the test_all_machines and test_all_extensions commands and, to my surprise (all machines/extensions pass the check in catapult), two extensions fail the check:
Casio_KB-7
Casio_KB-10
both say that "slot is already an external slot"
But, If I run a different machine (japanese MSX2+), then the error changes to:
Casio_KB-7 "Missing secondary tag for DeviceKB7 RAM" (sic).
Could it be because there's a machine already running that the check behaves weirdly?
The explanation on why you don't get this error in Catapult, is because of this awful hack: https://github.com/openMSX/wxcatapult/blob/master/src/CheckC...
In English: we skip these configs and mark them as working, because they don't require on system ROMs anyway, which is the most common reason an extension wouldn't work.
This hack isn't in the test_all_extensions
script...
Oh, OK, thanks for the explanation, guys!
Hi! guys, I'm testing OpenMSX v19 and I'm missing a few systems.
Does anyone know where to find an updated set for OpeMSX 19 ?
Niko_PC-70100
Sanyo_MPC-10_mkII
Sony_HB-11
Sony_HB-701
Sony_HB-701FD
Spectravideo_SVI-738_PL
Victor_HC-90A
Are reported as "broken" by test_all_machines command.
thanks in advance!
after some searching, now I'm missing only these two:
mpc-10mkii_firmware.rom
svi-738_pl_basic-bios1.rom
any clues?
thanks!
I've updated the systemroms on my downloadserver. I'm only missing the Sanyo MPC-10MKII one, so...
Even svi-738_pl_basic-bios1.rom ?
Even svi-738_pl_basic-bios1.rom ?
@tfh:
I don't see svi-738_pl_basic-bios1.rom in your updated set
where is it?
edit: found it! it's 738pbios.rom in the "bluemsx" subdir, under spectravideo
now we're only missing the sanyo lightpen ROM
BTW, I have 230 Machines (not 229) (1 not working) and 104 extensions (not 102), All reported working.
