Laplace's Evil Spirit (1989)(Humming Bird Soft)(jp)...

[kshin98]

The recent tosec image doesn't include the original user disk...
I have tried create custum user disk as directed by BlueMSX helpfile(including formating w/ "call format"), but the game doesn't recognise my costum built userdisk and keep saying "insert user disk, and press space" in Japanese.

Does this game use a special type of user disk? or is it just BlueMSX's compatibility?

My machin setting is Panasonic MSX2+, by the way

It's the same problem on all emulators, so I think that there are only 2 options :

- probably a copy protection on the game disk. If someone can disable this protection, than the user disk should be recognized

- maybe the user disk needs to have a special format. In this case, someone should make a dump of the 'real' user disk

After more research, I think the second option is the good one.

I've checked the user disk of another Humming Bird game, Record of Lodoss War, and it uses indeed a special format with texts at beginning and end of the disk that allow to check if the good user disk is inserted.

If it is as you say, I guess I have no choice but to give up playing this one.

Thanx for you reply.
