MSX Elite game with Docking Computer

Hi Marcelo, what is the docking computer? The Elite game has been dumped and can be found on the file-hunter site. E-mail me if you can’t find the disk image (my address is in my profile).

The Docking Computer is a piece of equipment that is sold in-game for a cost of 1500 credits. I consider it the most important piece of equipment in the game as it allows you to land on the space station just by pressing the C key. However, it is very difficult to land on the space station without this equipment. In the heyday of MSX I had the game and it even came with the Docking Computer. But I no longer have the disk. Therefore, I would like to have an image with this equipment already included. The game is excellent and I want to play it again. Thanks if anyone can or even hack the game.

This page about the game is very interesting, at the time I reached Deadly level. I wanted to play it all over again to reach Elite.

MSX Elite Wiki

It's easy enough to hack any save game with a HEX editor to add the docking computer.

I did document it all once on here but I'm not sure where.

EDIT: The Hex Editor cheat was for tape saves but there is a cheat that I expanded to include Docking computer for the disk. It's in BAS format.

Here.

Okay it’s a BASIC program so you can use openMSX in the following way:

1. Boot an MSX computer with disk drive (do not insert the elite image yet).
2. Put CHEAT2.BAS in an otherwise empty directory.
3. Load that directory as A: drive (openMSX will simulate a floppy disk)
4. In basic type: RUN”CHEAT2.BAS”
5. Follow the program’s instructions, which will probably ask for the elite disk at some point.

Here is the Elite Cheat and a save disk. Save 2 has the Docking Computer and a Large Cargo Bay (the cargo bay was added by accident). You start in Lave on 100 credits
