<< Overview >>
  An MGS file player that supports MGSDRV.
It requires MGSDRV v3.20 or later (we have not checked 
the operation of MGSDRV below v3.20).
I'm imitating Ain's MGSEL, but the differences are as follows:

	(1) Works with MSX1 (using SCREEN2)
	(2) You can display the song titles in kanji, even on models without a kanji ROM
	(3) NEXTOR is the recommended environment
	(4) Does not work on MSX-DOS1
	(5) 64KB for DOS, 64KB for Kanji fonts, 32KB for MGSDRV, 64KB for DOS RAM, 
		for a total of 224KB is the minimum operating environment.
	(6) The mouse is non-compliant.
	(7) It is non-compliant with track-by-track mute.
	(8) Up to 192 files per directory (MGS files and directories combined), any more than that will be ignored.
	(9) And many other things, it is less functional than MGSEL.

  Recently, the DOS2-compatible NEXTOR and the MapperRAM + 
sound source + SD/CF media cartridge have appeared on the market.
The purpose of this software is to equip MSX1 with these components, 
allowing it to become a music player.

<< Launch Method >>
  Place MGSDRV.COM, KFONT.BIN, MGSP.COM in the directory through which PATH is passed, 
and start it up by typing MGSP from the command prompt of MSX-DOS2/NextorDOS.
  If the MGSP.INI exists, it will be loaded as a configuration file.

  With MGSP P and option P, it will start playing automatically after startup.

<< About Kanji Fonts >>
  I converted the Misaki font BDF version (2019-10-19 version) for use.
  I'd like to thank Namu Kadoma for publishing such a useful font data.
