R-TYPE MSX-MUSIC


As everyone may know there is another 'improvement' version of R-Type on the
net. However, that version did some changes to the game that may have given
it a lighter H.TIMI handler, but it tended to regularly crash during the game
with MSX-MUSIC detected.

This version is an 8 kB ROM image that will look for R-Type, which means the
original cartridge is required in the second slot. If R-Type wasn't detected
it will do nothing. It can be loaded in your flash cartridge or used in your
favorite MSX emulator. It includes a menu to start the game with different
settings than actually detected.

The menu will initially display the best detected options when it first
appears. The menu has 5 options:

1. START GAME
	no explanation required. Press the trigger to start the game.

2. SYSTEM (MSX1/MSX2)
	switch between MSX1 and MSX2 version. In MSX1 mode the palette will
	not be changed for each level. On an MSX1 computer this option can't
	be changed. Press the trigger or left or right to switch between the
	available options.

3. SOUND (PSG/MSX-MUSIC)
	switch between PSG and MSX-MUSIC. No explanation required. MSX-MUSIC
	is only available when it's detected. Press the trigger or left or
	right to switch between the available options.

4. HERTZ (50 HZ/60 HZ)
	switch between 50 HZ and 60 HZ VDP interrupt. No explanation required.
	On an MSX1 computer this option can't be changed. It defaults to 60 Hz
	when possible. Press the trigger or left or right to switch between
	the available options.

5. SPEED (SLOW/FAST)
	switch between SLOW and FAST mode. This option can only be changed on
	CIEL Expert 3, Panasonic FS-A1WX, Panasonic FS-A1WSX, Panasonic
	FS-A1ST and Panasonic FS-A1GT. It defaults to fast when possible.
	Press the trigger or left or right to switch between the available
	options.


On MSX1 without MSX-MUSIC detected, the menu will not appear and the game will
start immediately. If R-Type wasn't detected this ROM will be skipped
entirely.
