The fact that it is shown indicates that emulation is not good, as I proved with my real MSX test. I think that will most likely mean that it will work in an even more broken sort of way
I know this post is old, but is For the Day II compatible with MSX2 computers? I've struggled for a long time to get this to work on a Philips NMS 8250. In Sofarun it just freezes during the intro no matter what settings I'm using. Starting from disk 2 in sofarun just gives me frozen blue screen with black frame. When playing it from real floppies the game won't start the intro, it only boots up basic. Using Carnivor2 and booting with RAM mapper did nothing. Starting with disk 2 will get me the mission briefing scene but as soon as I try to move on the game freezes again.
I'm confused by this since the blueMSX emulatior have no problem running the mage in MSX2-mode using the same DSK-files. Any ideas?
Did you run it from floppy with all extension cartridges removed?
Is your 8250 original or does it have modifications?
Only modification I know about is the extra disk drive I insatalled. Have tried without any cartridges. I managed to start with disk 1 after making a new copy, but I still get same result after mission screen on disk 2. I also tried to copy an altarnative version of disk 2 from File hunter archive, but same result.
