-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carnivore2 MultiFunctional Cartridge Copyright (c) 2017-2024 RBSC Last updated: 26.02.2024 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenMSX supports the emulation of the Carnivore2 cartridge since build 0_14_0-200: https://openmsx.vampier.net OpenMSX support for Carnivore2 ------------------------------ To add Carnivore2 device into OpenMSX please do the following: 1. Put "carnivore2.xml" file into this folder: ..\openMSX\share\extensions\ 2. Put "carnivore2.rom" file into this folder: ..\openMSX\share\systemroms\other\ 3. Run "openMSX Catapult", select "Settings", click "Edit configuration" and "OK" The device called "Carnivore2" will appear in the list of found devices. You can then attach a disk image to Carnivore2 by specifying the location of the DSK file (your own CF card's image) in the Catapult's user interface. Click on the "Hard Disk" button and locate the desired image file. If you already have Carnivore2 in your OpenMSX and you only want to update the FlashROM, you may copy the "Carnivore2.rom" file into this folder as "carnivore2.flash": C:\Users\\Documents\openMSX\persistent\Carnivore2\untitled1\ where is your Windows user name. Please be advised that all your previous data on the FlashROM will be gone! So if you want to preserve the data, but to have the latest Boot Menu and IDE BIOS versions, you need to run OpenMSX, boot to MSX-DOS and use the "C2MAN" or "C2MAN40" utility to update the Boot Menu and IDE BIOS using the latest BIN files from the Carnivore's Github repository: https://github.com/RBSC/Carnivore2 With "Carnivore2.xml" Carnivore2 cartridge can be located in any unused slot. However, if you want to use the cartridge in slots 1 or 2, there are 2 additional XML files - "Carnivore2-1.xml" and "Carnivore2-2.xml". This way you can use Carnivore2 in either slot 1 or slot 2, as well as in both slots. Copying these XML files to OpenMSX is similar to copying "Carnivore2.xml" that is descrived above. IMPORTANT! ---------- Certain features of Boot Menu starting from v2.30 will not work until the support for them is added into OpenMSX: - FMPAC mono mode will not be enabled - Dual-Slot screen will not allow to run ROMs in the slave slot - The firmware version will not be shown correctly - Dual-PSG will not be supported
