etabeta78 Senior Member Registered: 27/01/06 Posts: 2060 Loc: Trondheim, Norway	yeah, I have tons of files in addition to TOSEC (even if not as many as for the pc9801 ), but also the list is quite advanced. it depends on how much work I'll have...

Yes, the amount of the pc9801 software is incredible. Additional, I made for my self a lot of Harddisk images (Win31/Win95, Games), Bootdisk´s for CD images etc.) Edited by Anna Wu (19/07/10 06:01 PM)

That's why it's important for MESS to document everything, even if it takes some time. The MESS lists also have the huge advantage over Tosec in that they can be leveraged by others, and describe things the software needs making support / implementation for others easier too :-) Good to see lists for some of the more obscure things being added, will help a lot I think.

eta, are you sure the disk range for ys is correct ?
The save disk (disk1) is not bootable.

3 > 1
2
1 > 3

etabeta78 Senior Member Registered: 27/01/06 Posts: 2060 Loc: Trondheim, Norway	it can be, I will change the order when I add the few remaining disks I have... to workaround the problem, you can also load the proper file in TAB > File Manager > Floppy Disk by selecting the correct disk image inside the zipfile Notice that there might more multi-disk games which suffer of the same problem (I caught a few while testing, but I haven't tested all the games): all of these will be fixed by Micko's future improvements to disk handling, but in the meanwhile I will fix the order for the games which will be reported (so that we don't need to wait for Micko )

judge Senior Member Registered: 13/04/04 Posts: 1186	Depending on the game it could be that the save disk only contains save data and no actual game data. If that's the case then they should not be in the list imo, the user should be able to create them him/herself.
