perhaps i have a bad image, i shall consult the x68000x gods for further assistance and see where this leads. thanks for the bit of info. coincedentally i have a question for someone...i have been trying like crazy to get the msx 1 game golvellius to work, it's one that uses a english ips patch, i did manage to get golvellius 2 running with the english patch, but if someone could direct me to a working ips patch for bluemsxbox, i would be indebted to you.
