This is also a customizable controller action while in-game. Configure it via the Controller Configuration -> UI Mappings menu. - Save Game management - delete save game files - Text file viewer - Netplay - ISO9660 support - Samba/NetBIOS sharing support (read roms from your PC) - Relax Network Sharing (read roms from your PC) - Play MP3 or M3U playlists in the background (Can also read MP3/M3U from across Samba/Relax shares.) - User definable save directory. If you don't like the default of E:\SAVES\BLUEMSXBOX you can change it via the menu - Take in-game screenshots and display them on the game selection list - New UI feature - auto-screenshot capture mode. When enabled, the emu will start taking screenshots at a user-defined interval. Useful for ripping sprites/animation. - Hardware filtering options : Point, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic - Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then play it back again. Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay. - Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the four joypad controllers. - Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of two buttons. (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State) - Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller - One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.) (E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right) - Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB. R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your BLUEMSXBOX.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one directory level. - All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your customized joypad mappings. - Virtual Keyboard - go to Controller Configuration / UI Mappings to select the button combo that will bring up the Virtual Keyboard while in-game. - Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend or dashboard supports this feature.) - Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into a new frontend, that frontend could launch BLUEMSXBOX and when you exit BLUEMSXBOX, that frontend can be automatically reloaded. Default ROM dir is D:\MSXROMS =============== Important Notes =============== When you change disks while playing, the configuration of the game is updated as well. For example, if I start a game with DISK1 and then during the game I change the disk in drive 1 from DISK1 to DISK2, then the configuration of the game will now state that the disk in drive 1 is DISK2. When you start the game again from the main menu, it will try to boot off of DISK2. This is intentional. Save states for multiple disk games requires that the disks present in the drives when the state was saved are there when the state is reloaded. If you are playing a game where you have to change the disks during gameplay, then I strongly suggest these tips: - Turn on auto-loading of save states - After you have changed a disk, wait until the game has finished loading whatever it needs and then save the state. Always remember to save the state after each disk swap. If you do this, then when you exit the game and restart it in the future, the disks will be set correctly in the configuration screen, the state will automatically load, and you'll be all set. There is a bug that affects games like Dig Dug and Mappy which makes the video screen jump around all willy-nilly. This is a problem with the core and apparently has already been fixed, but won't be available until the next version of BlueMSX is available. Questions? Select the HELP option from the Main Menu or go to my website, noted above, for FAQs. ===================== Relax Network Sharing ===================== The relax sharing setting goes in the [GENERAL] section as follows: rlxshare=c:\MSXROMS@192.168.123.77:1400 Replace 192.168.123.77 with your computer IP address and replace 8989 with the port where you have Relax running. ============================ Note on Samba/NetBIOS Shares ============================ There are two INI file settings relating to Samba/NetBIOS sharing and they both reside in the [GENERAL] section of BLUEMSXBOX.INI: smbshare=smb://username:password@workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename smb_nameserver=192.168.0.1 The smbshare parameter accepts many different formats. Here are the most common: smbshare=smb://username:password@workgroup/computername/sharename smbshare=smb://username:password@workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename smbshare=smb://username:password@computername/sharename smbshare=smb://username:password@computername:ip_address/sharename smbshare=smb://workgroup/computername/sharename smbshare=smb://workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename smbshare=smb://computername/sharename smbshare=smb://computername:ip_address/sharename Please try all of the above combinations before deciding it does not work. Also be aware that some people have to select their SMB drive in BLUEMSXBOX a few times before any files appear. If it's still not working, then set the nameserver equal to the IP address of the computer you are trying to reach or set it equal to your NetBIOS name server. (If you don't know what a NetBIOS name server is, then just set it to the IP address of the computer you are trying to reach.) Also remember that when you make changes to BLUEMSXBOX.INI, you have to do a "Force Reload of D:\*.INI" from the Configuration Menu or else the changes you made to BLUEMSXBOX.INI will not be loaded. ============= Configuration ============= Everything can be changed from the configuration menu. To change things like default save directory, default game directory, etc, go to Main Menu -> Configuration -> Change Default Directories =============== Menu Navigation =============== Select menu options with the DPAD or with R/LTrigger. The speed of R/LTrigger movements can be controlled by : Configuration -> Menu Scroll Speed There are some places where you can enter or change values. This can usually be done in a variety of ways include DPAD Left/Right, R/L Trigger, and L/R Thumb. Try all of them if the values are changing too slowly. "A" selects the highlighted choice. "B" cancels/returns. "Y" from a file-select list will go up one directory. ================ Text File Viewer ================ DPAD Up - Up one line DPAD Down - Down one line DPad Left - Up one page DPAD Right - Down one page R Trigger - Scroll down L Trigger - Scroll up A - Start search X - Continue last search White ...
