cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Got MSX working with Retroarch Bluemsx core...but can't do the same with MSX2, nothing happens when I launch game...switched MSX2 to FMSX core instead in Retroarch, at least it seems to load, but it's only a black screen... What am I doing wrong? :-\ Quote
SentaiBrad Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 What is happening when you try BlueMSX, a black screen? If that's the case, then the BIOS are probably wrong. When googling, it's a 6mb set with a lot of sub folders. The blueMSX INFO files shows some info, but there are too many variations to list unlike most core info files that list the bios requirements. It does tell you that it goes in /RetroArch/system/Machines/. Quote
cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 No fmsx core is BLACK screen (after loading controller inputs msg comes up..bluemsx is completely not launching...works fine with MSX though...and yeah I uncompressed what I had into the Retroarch System folder (into a machine subfolder), seems to work for MSX anyways...hmmm...I'll try to find a different set of bioses Thanks.

cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 I downloaded the full ZIP pack for the BLUEMSX emulator, and it has a machine folder with a BOAT LOAD of bios images....extracted that into the retroarch\system\machine folder... SAME ISSUE :-( I'm using the same core DLL and CFG file as MSX in platforms under LB right? Just a different platform name that matches the one I have my games in, correct? Quote
cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Fixed it....apparently I had to remove the identical CFG reference under my MSX2 in LB, just leave the core...now it opened...saved a new cfg for this....glad that worked! Quote
cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Hmm apparently loading any -c "config files here", causes it not even try to launch....not sure why, but at least it works without one... Quote
cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 bluemsx for MSX2 is a sped-up, controller nightmare...how do I set this to run at a regular speed? Trued both arkanoid and Dragon Buster and they are super sped up, LOL Quote
cleverest Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Nevermind, I disabled VSYNC and it fixed the speed issue... Quote
SentaiBrad Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 o,O;; Well... I'm glad I could help. I am glad you got it working though. Quote

I'm running into the same issue with my MSX 2 files not launching via RA with bluemsx core.Thanks in advance Quote
alexis524 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 nevermind the above post, I read through the entire thread a few more times and realized that I had to copy over the machines folder with the BIOS' from the Bluemsx emulator folder into RA's systems folder. Metal Gear loaded up and runs:) 1 Quote
cleverest Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Awesome, sorry been away for awhile, glad you got it working Alexis524 Quote
