[openMSX-devel] Metal Gear JP

[Manuel B. <ma...@ms...>]

Hi

I found out yesterday that the Japanese version of Metal Gear (as in 
GOODMSX2) does not run on openMSX when a European machine is used (I 
tried NMS 8250); only on a Japanese machine. Another ROM I have lying 
around with the European version ran on both European and Japanese MSX 
machines.
Can someone explain this?
I could not test it on a real machine... (as I don't have Metal Gear 
Japanese...)

By the way, the sprites in Goemon flash a lot when using a Japanese 
machine, but are fine on a European machine. When setting cmdtiming to 
broken, it is fixed... Any idea?

Combining with another reply:

Makes sense to me! :-)
Yeah, powerUp() sounds nicer: it indicates an action rather than a status.
