DSK to ROM conversion

[FemboyOnAHoverBike]

So, could I have a hand with something? I’m trying to emulate a translated version of the game Gandhara, for the MSX, but my emulator (fMSX) refuses to load .dsk files, and it only accepts .rom files. Does that converter still work? I don’t have a windows computer either, so is there any way I could convert the files by placing them here, and having one of you help? Any help greatly appreciated.

I might still have the tool somewhere assuming the obsessive archivist side of mine wasn't drunk back in February but iirc OpenMSX works on Mac and Linux as well so might as well just try what we already know to be working.

Another thing is that fMSX might be running into the same issue OpenMSX was - not having the system roms/bioses. Better check that out to make sure all your bases are covered before we start converting any files.

Alright, will double check and get back to you

ROM-conversion of Snatcher might be a bit tricky. But there is already an english version that can be installed to HDD, found here: https://www.amusementfactory.com.br/msx/snatcher/
It requires 192kb mapped RAM though + an SCC+ cart if you want proper music.
File-hunter has also made this HDD-version into a large .dsk that can be run directly on emulators: https://download.file-hunter.com/games/MSX2/Harddisk/
