With the backwards compatibility of the Japanese Master System, should the .sg extension be added to load those games? SG-1000 Bank Panic works fine under smsj (just renamed to .sms for now). smile

I can load game cartridges (.ace), but i am not able after loading to start/control with the keyboard (Joystick is not available). Is this ok ?
Made a double check with the EightyOne emu, here i can start all my .ace files.

Another question :
The device view show me " Cartridge " for files with the .ace extension.
Other websites and emulators call this format "snapshot".
MESS not show me the device view for snapshots. Why ?

The ace files are snapshots, but they have always been implemented using a cartslot. Why, I do not know. That's just another thing that needs to be fixed.

The cassette loading is not working yet, probably because of some small emulation issue. The .tap file decoding is working because I see the header being read in, but for some reason the bios code doesn't see the end of the header block.

Thanks for checking the driver.

Thank you for your answer.
I read already, that the cassette loading is not working yet.
My problem is, if i load a cartridge/snapshot, I am not able to use the keyboard.

SG-1000 does not have a BIOS. Othello Multivision on the other hand has a built-in Othello cartridge.

Thank you for the info. Now it is clear for me.

omv : omvbios.bin (8192 bytes) - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN
romset omv [sg1000] is best available

The external Othello cartridge has a different size (32768 bytes).

[JUPITER] Some tape loading fixes.

Not know the actual tape loading status.
If i try to load a tape file (.wav) as example moonbuggy.wav
I get a error.

LOAD moonbuggy g

load moonbuggy
Dict: moonbuggy ERROR 10

With other tape games I get the same error.

Some tap (.wav) files will not recognized.
Example: Acevaders

Error when loading the image: Unspecified error

With EightyOne emu I can load these games.

I have tried the acevaders tap file, that loaded something into memory. Looking at the wav files, they seem to be in a format which the MESS core doesn't understand (yet). A clearer error message would have been nice, I know.

If for these drivers no (good) dumps exist, is it no better to show as best available rom sets ?

SVN revision 3273

VIC 20/1001
Not have problems to load PAL/NTSC cartridges.
Also no more have multisession problems. But not sure, maybe i mistake it with other Commodore drivers.

C16/Plus4
The cartridge Jack Attack.bin is not working.

Plus4
On C16 emu i can load and start the Jack Attack snapshot file (.prg)
On Plus 4 i can load but not start the same file.

CBM30xx/40xx/80xx
Some drivers are marked as working on GUI. But during the initializing these drivers freeze.

All those -verifyroms errors indicate that you need different files. You're right that the NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN stuff is not a problem, but you'll notice that each of those sets also has an INCORRECT LENGTH error on a different file - that's why it's saying they're bad.
