MSX2 Gamebase problem.

minamoto kobayashi · Mon Mar 21, 2016 4:56 am

Hi to all!
After some years of absence I will return here, because beautiful things you never forget!

I migrate to a new powerful system with a Synology 40TB RAID5 NAS (5x8TB Seagate Enterprise Storage), so I have stored all my life inside that beast

Of course I stored also MAME and GAMEBASE with 25 emulated systems.
I have checked and modified every .ini to have the right paths in every emulators, and now everything works fine again, with exception for the MSX2 system.
When I try to launch a game, the Gamebase return this error:
"There was an error running the following program:
Y:\Gamebase\MSX2\scripts\MSXCLDR.EXE"
I do not know why this program is called, since I chose the emulator BlueMSX for this system.
If I try to manually launch the MSXCLDR program, a message appear:
"Please run Cassette Loader with Gamebase and when BluMSX has loaded! (written for Gamebase MSX1 for BlueMSX v2.7.1/v2.

"
So I think this is the reason why Gamebase return an error.
But why this happen? The last time that I played games with this system, everything was ok !!

Hi,

That program is the MSX Cassette LoaDeR
The BLUEMSX script uses that program to reconfigure the keymap and sendkeys to the emulator.

BLOAD"CAS:",R

CLOAD
RUN

RUN"CAS:"

It also is used to hold CTRL or SHIFT key down when booting disks.

The problem could be the location of Gamebase and the rezip folder, as you are using drive Y:

when it was working before, was gamebase installed on C:

the MSXCLDR.EXE should be in the ..\GameBase\MSX\scripts\ folder.

it also requires special cassette machine configs which disable floppy drive in this folder
..\GameBase\MSX\Emulator\blueMSX\Machines\

MSX Cassette
MSX - Brazilian Cassette
MSX - Spanish Cassette
MSX - Japanese Cassette

MSX2 Cassette
MSX2 - Brazilian Cassette
MSX2 - Japanese Cassette

(example)
MSX - Brazilian Cassette

The MSX GameBase is currently getting an update.
so if you tell me your country keyboard i can add the keymap.
so far the MSXCLDR has been updated for...
Dutch, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, USA and French* keyboards.
The original will only work with UK keyboard set in the language bar.

Much appreciated

Wow thanks a lot for Your fast reply .mad. !!
Actually all the gamebase is placed in my external LAN NAS.
The "Y" unit is a shared folder.

The path is:
y:\Users\Emulators & ROMs\Gamebase\MSX2\Emulator\blueMSX\blueMSX.exe

while the real path is:
\\192.168.0.240\synology\Users\Emulators & ROMs\Gamebase\MSX2\Emulator\blueMSX\blueMSX.exe

but I do not think that this can be the real problem, because all the other emus works fine.
Also the MSX emulator works fine, that use the same emulator and the same configs.
Here is the bluemsx config:

This is the same identical config available in the MSX system, with exception of:

emulation.machineName=MSX - Japanese
that obviously is
emulation.machineName=MSX2 - Japanese

All the paths and other inis are corrects.

I'm an italian user, I have a Logitech Wave wireless keyboard mapped with italian profile.

Any idea?

i think the location IS the problem.

either GameBase cannot read the path over the network or the rezip path cannot be read.

i have made a simplified version of the script (PM) to test.
if it doesn't work, move GameBase to the ROOT of the Y: drive
Y:\GAMEBASE\MSX
with the rezip folder on
Y:\GBGame\0\

if that doesn't work, you need to install GameBase EXE and Emulator on C:
and have your gamepaths / extras etc on Y:

Hello mad.
Yes, now with Your modified file the the emulator boot !!
BUT .. it starts in MSX mode, not MSX2, so the emulator shows only strange chars and then reset.
I'm forced to switch to MSX2 emulation and then manually re-run the game

Where is the problem?
In the bluemsx .ini file is specified "emulation.machineName=MSX2 - Korean"

AH!

that's because i merged the MSX1 and MSX2 GameBases
default is MSX1 JAP.

change line 142
last entry under section "ElseIf Key_Machine"

Else
Add_CLP( /machine "MSX2 - Japanese")
End If

Hello.
It doesn't work ;(

This is the modified file, but as You can see, now there are two identical strings: "Add_CLP( /machine "MSX2 - Japanese")"

the game you are running must be a ROM
you need to change line 195 as well

Add_CLP( /machine "MSXturboR")
ElseIf Key_Machine CONTAINS(msx2HB-F700D)
Add_CLP( /machine "MSX2 - Sony HB-F700D")
Else
Add_CLP( /machine "MSX")
End If

to this
Add_CLP( /machine "MSX2 - Japanese")

.. and finally ... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot, now You're my personal hero

Just to learn something new: what was the cause of the first issue (blueMSX return an error)?

.mad. · Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:09 pm

only thing i can think of is the GameBase install location and rezip folder path.

The loader could be being blocked by you AV or security setting.
it may think it's a Keylogger??

Hello.
But the first issue was solved only replacing the old script with Your modified one .. I did not do anything else

Just curious what was the script modify ...

i removed all lines with the msxcldr reference.
the script could not RUN or FIND the file from your setup location.
Run_Program(%dbpath%\scripts\MSXCLDR.exe

the file is mainly for MSX1 Tapes.
so you will not miss it when playing MSX2.

open a command window on C: drive and type
y:\Users\Emulators & ROMs\Gamebase\MSX2\scripts\msxcldr.exe
did it run?

if so change script "%dbpath%" to full path
Run_Program(y:\Users\Emulators & ROMs\Gamebase\MSX2

minamoto kobayashi · Wed Mar 23, 2016 2:50 pm

Yes it works!
A popup message appear:

"Please run cassette loader with gamebase and when BlueMSX has loaded"

What this means?
That there is no path problem?
Must now I change somenthing in You modified script?

.mad. · Wed Mar 23, 2016 4:42 pm

it was just an idea.

maybe the MSXCLDR can not find one of the emulator machine configs on the y: dive to alter when run.

try putting it in the root dir and test the original.
Y:\gamebase\msx\

If that doesn't work, i don't know.
at least you got it to run now.
