Download MSX Advance v0.1

MSXAdvance V0.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a MSX1 emulator for the GBA.
It was just a quick and dirty hack from Cologne.

Features:
 A lot of games can actually be played.

Missing:
 Not all keys are mapped to the GBA.
 Correct sprite collision and overflow.
 Screen modes 1 & 3.
 Savestates.

Bugs:
 Probably a lot.
 The sound sucks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! You must supply a BIOS to be able to run games !!!
Run MSXAdvance.exe to add roms to the emulator.
Use the Bios tick box to add a BIOS.

When the emulator starts, use Up/Down to select game, then use
B or A to start the game selected.
Press L+R to open the menu, A to choose, B (or L+R again) to cancel.

In game controlls:
 D-Pad: Joystick.
 A & B: Fire buttons.
 L: 1.
 R: 0.
 Select: 2.
 Start: 3.

Controller: 2P control player 2.
Unscaled mode:  L & R buttons scroll the screen up and down.
Scaling modes:
  Hard:   Every 6th scanline is skipped.
  Normal: Every 5th & 6th scanline is blended.
  Soft:   All lines are blended differently. !Experimental!
Scaled modes:  Press L+SELECT to adjust the background.
Speed modes:  L+START switches between throttled/unthrottled/slomo mode.

Sleep:  START+SELECT wakes up from sleep mode (activated from menu or 5/10/30
minutes of inactivity)

Advanced:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EWRAM speed: this changes the waitstate on EWRAM between 2 and 1, this
can probably damage your GBA and definitly uses more power,
around 10% speedgain. Use at your own risk!

Link transfer:  Send a MSX game to another GBA.  The other GBA must be in
  multiboot receive mode (no cartridge inserted, powered on and waiting with
  the "GAME BOY" logo displayed). Only one game can be sent at a time, and
  only if it's small enough to send (approx. 128kB or less). A game can only
  be sent to 1 (one) Gameboy at a time, disconnect all other gameboys during
  transfer.

Use an original Nintendo cable!

Pogoshell:
Add an empty file and a BIOS.
Copy msx.gba to the plugin folder (or compress it to mbz before you copy
 it) then rename it to msxadvance.bin and add this line to the pogo.cfg file:
rom 1 msxadvance.bin 2
or
rom 1 msxadvance.mbz 2
