CD-ROM and CD AUDIO support
CD-ROM and CD AUDIO support on MSX is just
like a dream ! To make it possible, you need
to follow these steps :
- go to the Options/Disks menu to set the
access method to IOCTL and choose the PC
drive that will be used as CD-ROM drive
Note that the CD-ROM of PC will work
correctly only when its analog rear cable is
connected to Internal Input of soundcard (CD-IN
or AUX-IN).
This step is only requested for the first
time that you use the CD-ROM support
- add SCSI controllers to a machine, create
an empty hard disk image and format it
See this page of the manual : Creating hard disk
images
- add CD-ROM to the SCSI by using the File/Hard
Disk menu : in the allocation of SCSI id of
CD rom, MEGA-SCSI is id #6, Gouda SCSI is id
#2
for Gouda SCSI : enable Multiple
Harddisk support by using the Setup menu (access
by pressing on the DEL key when booting)
- choose a CD-ROM or CDAUDIO player for MSX
and copy the files on a disk image and/or the
hard disk image
Here's a short list of different players :
for MEGA-SCSI : NCDPLAY - CDDA020
for Gouda SCSI : CDAUDIO
for MEGA-SCSI and Gouda SCSI :
MSXCDEX
- start the player from the disk image or the
hard disk image (read first carefully the
instructions !)
