Thanks ginolifio, nice update. Do you have the missing tape covers (mostly missing rear tape cover images)?

That's because you are using CMD as a filetype.
futher down the script the game also runs with COM file part (CPM).

Adding Hex Train command-lines to the COM / CPM part will fix it. :wink:

Code: Select all

; Games supplied as .MTX files
; In MEMU, tape files can be run using commands similar to :-
; $ memu -vid-win -snd-portaudio AGROVATA.mtx
; LOAD ""
;
; Most autostart, but you'll need to RUN some of them. 

;GLOBAL SETTING

ADD_CLP( -vid-win-big -snd-portaudio)

If GameType CONTAINS(mtx)

; MEMU needs the internal MTX filename (0000h 1-C) and PC filename to match.
; revenge of chamberoids (orginal tape) has "** OF THE **" as the internal filename.
; So we need to HEX edit the header of the MTX file removing *wildcards* and other none PC filename characters.
; "** OF THE **" -> "REVENGEOFTHE" and save the edited file "revengeofthe.mtx"
; or
; "** OF THE **" -> "BOOT" and save the edited file "boot.mtx"
; from the emulator load the internal filename LOAD"BOOT" or LOAD"REVENGEOFTHE" from the gamepath.
;
; Make sure you also attach the 2nd gamefile.
; the internal name must also match the filename.
; file2=CHAMBEROIDS, file2=SEPULCRI2, file2=GRANNY1

if key_tape CONTAINS(multi||2parts)
; attach the "gamepath" NOT the "gamefile" to the command line.

There are a few known MTX gamebases out there.
And they are all very similar in content, as there is a very limited amount of software available.

Sparky did one ages ago, and i think ginolifio gave it a much needed update. ;)

But this version is still the most complete version still in development.
And seems to be supported by MTX coders and fans.
http://www.primrosebank.net/computers/m ... m#gamebase

All the latest v0.3 GB and covers download links are working again. :)

maybe a quick compare of those two databases is still needed, and any missing / updated files sent to that site, so we only need to have one GB. :idea:

Yes, but I cannot download ginolifio's update, because every time I go to mega it says the files DOES NOT EXIST
