As of today, ROMLOAD has become a product of The New Image. The original link on my home page redirects to the ROMLOAD product page.

IPS4MSX v1.3 was released. Most fixes in this release are related to big chunk patching, as this was never really tested. Changes are:

• Fixed RLE >32K bug
• Fixed datablock >32K bug
• Fixed truncate >32K & >64K bug
• Added some more error messages
• Removed redundant code from the rename routine, causing to rename the result file incorrectly in MSX-DOS2

FDISK 3.10 has a small bug causing useful MSX-DOS2 commands like UNDEL not to work. The problem is the Volume ID isn't set according to MSX-DOS2 specifications. I've made a little tool called FIXBOOT that will fix this problem and allow. The patch is performed in such a way that it will remain more or less compatible with the PC one. The tool is available in the download section of my Home Page.

I've added some improvements to the Megabit ROM Cartridges page. Also a quick access list was added. This is important infomration for emulator developers who aim for perfect emulation.

I've released a new version of Palette Editor today. Here's what's new:

• fixed minor bug in BiFi logo animation abort
• user defined palette in presets really is the userdef palette now
• added support for V99x8 in an MSX1 machine by detecting the VDP
• added support to save to cassette
• made media selectable for palette storage

The site also has some new features:

• added version history
• added key codes for tweaked palettes for some games made by Patrick van Arkel
• added descriptions for some key codes
• added WAV download to all key codes
