On a side note: does they all works or there's a bug that I need to know about?

They most seem to load and run fine, but
- Super Mario SP: does not load properly
- Creamy Mami: either the tap is incomplete or the game misses the end of the tape
- Minami Taihei-yo Adventure (minami.tap): It complains about something PCG related. Notice that the game only loads in dB-BASIC, so you need to pair up the tape with dbbasic from the floppy softlist

OTOH, you might want to take a look to the following floppy games which have been added in the past week to the softlist: Casablanca, Kohakuiro no Yuigon, Satsujin wa Tegami ni Notte, Re-Birth, Star Trap, Melon Soda and Produce
The first 2 or 3 titles, in particular, trigger some specific graphic mode which seems to be not fully implemented...

FM Towns

Anna sent me an TownsOS 2.1 HD image containing an installation of a rather nice shooter called Alltynex... Seems to run perfectly fine in MESS, so here's some screenies smile

In-game shots are re-sized, since the actual resolution is a bit nutty (1560x262).

Here a short description how I made a bootable CD-ROM image (Towns System Software V2.1 L51) by using the files from the Harddisk image.

1.) Files/Folders from the Harddisk image extracted.
2.) Drive letter in different files (AUTOEXEC.BAT/DOS.BAT/TMENU.BAT D: > Q: /depent of your settings for MSCDEX) fitted.
3.) ImgBurn > Create image file from files/folders
4.) Following files on ImgBurn placed (the sequence is important!):

IO.SYS
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT
RUN386.EXE
TBIOS.BIN
TBIOS.SYS

and all the other files/folders (the order is now no more important).

5.) CD-ROM image (Alltynex.iso) created.
6.) CUE file for the Alltynex.iso created.
7.) For FM-Towns you need the IPL tools (IPL.BIN/IPL.COM) to make the CD bootable.
Command line: IPL IPL.BIN Alltynex.iso
The new CD-ROM image is now bootable.
8.) chdman createcd -i Alltynex.cue -o Alltynex.chd

Yeah, I'm aware of that problem, it's true 400 lines mode that I haven't yet understood the mechanics.

I forgot the source of supply for the IPL tools.
