Re: Compiling Xtal Basic

Yes, from what I recall is was only mame/mess that did not write to the drive. I am sure there was another emulator I used years ago that wrote back to disk without issue, but I can't remember which. I will have a look at my emulators and see which ones I still have that might do it.

Re: New software coming!

I have updated my blog post with details.

Hopefully we can get more games ported from the MSX in the coming weeks or months.

Enjoy.

Re: New software coming!

We have Double Dragon converted now, with Joe Blade on the horizon.

Batman 3D, Beach Head and Bruce Lee have also been successfully converted.

The future is looking very bright for Albert!!

I was wanting to get head over heels converted, but this is a 64kb rom so a no go at the present :|
