Basic ZX Spectrum Emulation on PSP

[SmashinGit]

Hi alex, yeah i'm using 2+ mode . I type in RUN "ROMU6.BAS" and press enter and then I get the error. I've tried it with the msxspec zipped and unzipped but no joy. In my settings I have the first rom empty and the second rom with my bios file.

You don't need to have the BIOS file in the rom selector though - it does that itself if the BIOS files are in the right folder. You just need to select which machine type. I assume you're using a recent version?

I'm using fmx062b plus,

this is my file structure

G:\PSP\GAME\fmsx

in my fmsx folder I have the eboot, keyboard bitmap image, config file, msx2spec.zip, bios folder and save folder.

G:\PSP\GAME\fmsx\BIOS

in my bios folder I have

msx2pect, msx2p, msx, msx2, msx2ext

When I start the emulator up these are my settings,

MSX TYPE MSX2+

ROM 1 0 Generic 8kb
ROM 2 0 Generic 8kb

DRIVE A
DRIVE B



When I go to config at the top of the first menu I've set the wallpaper keyboard and changed the clock speed.

I go back to the first menu and click on power.

I use the right shoulder button to bring up the keyboard

and I type in RUN "ROMU6.BAS" and press enter and then I get the Device I/O error

Oh yeah when the emulator starts up it has MSX BASIC version 3.0 on the top of the page.

The .dsk is in, though, right?

in where? lol!!

MSX2Spectrum - the .dsk file that's in the attachment in the first post of this thread? That's the disk with the actual emulator on, mate. You need to have that in drive A before powering on.

I click on drive a and I have this

..
BIOS
MSX2SPEC.ZIP
SAVE

I scroll down to MSX2SPEC.ZIP and it goes red, I click on it but it doesn't see any .dsk file , all I have is ..

ms0:/PSP/GAME/FMSX/MSX2SPEC.ZIP/

..

[alex_dsnews]

Hmm. The attached ZIP doesn't seem right in the first post. Try this one instead (attached).

Thanks for the new file, that is now showing up in drive a as

ms0:/psp/game/fmsx/spec.zip/spec.dsk

So I power up the emulator and type in RUN "ROMU6.BAS" and I still get that error, lol!!

I tried RUN "spec.bas" and RUN "spec" , I eved tried Load "ROMU6.BAS" but it still doesn't work.

Don't worry about it mate, i'll just have to wait for that elusive spectrum emulator.

Oh yeah and thanks for your help.
