Snatcher (http://www.pspupdates.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10331) has released a minor bugfix for Osakanas FMSX emulator, heres whats new:




This minor release of the fMSX emulator simply fixes an omission made by teh guy that originaly ported the emulator. I really wanted to run the MSX Snatcher translation, and I fiddled around with the code. I did port it to PSP SDK, but it crashed again and again.. so I used the original method to test the results and that is what I persent to you.

The modifications where simple, the original author had set the RAM to the maximun possible on the MSX, but forgot to change the variable that holder the RAM size.. so games with higher requirements didn't run.

There was nothing wrong with the fmsx 0.61+ as far as I could see. I was able to run several games, MX1 And MX2 games. I even had Metal Gear 2 running, which required extra memory and a second rom setting. See this site on how to use the FMSX emulator. It has some very usefull information. http://grblitz.overclocked.org/cconstal.htm
And this supposed fix does not work you cant even enter the config page without it freezing. Which is needed to set up the keyboard. Even if you use your old config file from the previous version this program still locks up when using keyboard or config selections. In fact I tried to run several games that I could run no problem before and they wont run. The FMSX0.61+ emulator is overlooked due to its complexity of all the different settings that are required for some of the different roms. There is a chart for some of them at the above URL. Several of the roms will run on setting it to msx1 or msx2 type. Lets see I had 22 roms running on it. And I just started using it 2 days ago. FMSX 0.61+ has a really cool overlay keyboard that pops up at the press of a button for keyboard input. Pretty ingenious. And you can also still see the game screen because there is a cutaway in the overlay to theright half of the screen. UAE-PSP could use this badly.
