RB's Notes 1: Originally the game came in 8 floppies, which meant slow area transitions, constant disk swapping and all the terrible woes that came with the limitations inherent to that format. Thanks to the amazing work of the translation team and using the suite of tools they created, the 8 floppies were consolidated into a much easier to use single .rom file, just load that and go. That said, the floppy format is availiable for those that need it.
RB's Notes 2: MSX games require a formatted floppy disk (virtual floppy disk image in the case of emulators) to enable the player to save the game, working akin to a memory card. Make sure to insert the supplied User Disk along with the game cartridge in their appropriate slots. When saving and loading, select "User Disk" in game.
RB's Notes 3: The large filesize is due to the archive including the manual and extras documentation, translated by MSX Translations as well.
RB's Notes 4: The game requires the MSX Turbo R specifically, so when using an emulator it needs to be set to this mode, or it will not work. Also, some MSX emulators do not detect the game's memory mapper correctly. It needs to be set to ASCII 16 for the game to boot correctly.
