Well there you go. Would it be hard for disk extentions to be implemented? Don't worry, hardly any of the MSX games I own are on disk, and most of them suck.

It would be a fully complete emulator though if it could. I believe fMSX did have disk support? What was it that made it difficult, or was it time that made you leave it out?

fMSX support disk file but what's complex here is that fMSX is not re-entrant simulator. You can't load a rom, next load another one etc ... open a disc, eject another etc ...

I've to modify this emu to be able to load successively several roms ...

For the disk support, the disk image is not loaded in memory (as other emulator) but only open. Then the emulator seek on the file using the file descriptor when a disk request happens ...

On PSP this kind of behavior is very unstable ... Each open file as to be closed properly etc ... So to be clear, to support disk file, this part of the emu has to be rewritten from zero. I won't spend hours on it, only to be able to run few games lol ...

you should really try to look better, cuz a whole lot of games on disk rule all other games i know.
MSX has an huge library of good games on rom and on disk.
try out SD Snatcher, Ys 1 2 and 3, Xak 1 2 and 3, fray, Randar III, Fray, Illusion CIty etc

anyway, does the SCC soundchip work good on MG2?

If you say there are very good games, then i will try to implement such feature ...

One question tho and this is almost entirely unrelated,
In metal gear 2 solid snake, Ive almost got the keyboard controls set perfectly, except I cant figure out which key makes snake crouch and crawl,
Ive tried everything at least twice. Any advice from anyone?

*edit okay I figured it out, To Crawl you have to push space + M

This way was quicker for me.
Just unzip and drop this in your \PSP\GAME\pspmsx\kbd directory
To use it just go to keyboard and load this file.

And yes it works very well for Mg and mg2 solid snake.
