How to load freeware ROM:

16KB / 32KB ROM:

  Copy ROM files to "AmiMSX" disk in advance.
  Insert "AmiMSX" disk and turn your CD32 on.
  Simply click "Slot 1:" button and load a ROM file.
  Then click "Power ON" button.
  The game would be loaded automatically.


64+KB ROM (called "Mega ROM"):

  Copy ROM files to "AmiMSX" disk in advance.
  Insert "AmiMSX" disk and turn your CD32 on.
  First, choose "128Kb" RAM and click "Power ON" button.
  After it shows MSX logo, press "Help" key of your Amiga keyboard.
  Load a ROM file. Then hold down the right mouse button and drag to choose "Cartridges>Mapper". 
  256+KB sized ROMs require FAST RAM. Click the "Power ON" button again.
  Some titles are incompatible with AmiMSX. Try fMSX(Amiga port).

8KB / 48KB ROM:

Neither AmiMSX nor fMSX can't read these sized rom files from their "Slots".
Next you must use "Odo.com" on the MSX-DOS screen. Odo was coded by Ramones & Manuel Pazos in 2006.
First, you have to create a MSX formatted diskette as following:

 Insert "AmiMSX" disk and turn on your CD32.
 Choose "Install MSX Boot" from AmiMSX's menu.
 Swap  the "AmiMSX" disc with this "MSX rom files" diskette
 shown on the left.
 Click "Install" button.
 AmiMSX would write MSX boot block
 within seconds.


 
  Select "DF0:" for "MSX drive A:".
 
  Click the "Power ON" button.
  The MSX-DOS screen would be shown instead of the MSX BASIC screen.



  Now simply type as following:
  odo gamename.rom
  The game would be loaded soon.
  If you forget which file you copied to the diskette,
  you can also show all files you copied.
  Type basic. It changes into a MSX BASIC screen.
  Now type files.



By the way, you can see that the 8 characters before ".rom" in the file name have been renamed if you've copied a ROM file with a name of 9 characters or more before ".rom".
For example, "sbodev100.rom" will be renamed to "sbo100~1.rom".
