To flash a ROM file in your Rookie Drive you need to boot your MSX with the existing ROM disabled. Then flash rookiefdd.rom in your Rookie Drive and you're all set.Īlternatively, under Linux and WSL you can use the build.sh script to generate all the possible variants (with/without inverted CTRL key, disabling other kernels by default, and using the alternative Z80 ports) inside a bin directory. Adjust the configuration flags as desired in the config.asm file and run: If the hub has more than 7 ports, only the first 7 will be scanned for devices.That might be supported in a future version of the ROM but we aren't there yet. This includes connecting more than one floppy disk drive to the hub.The ROM code will stop scanning ports as soon as it finds one with a device attached to it, regardless of the type of the device. Don't connect other devices to the hub together with the floppy disk drive.Don't use a bus-powered hub (a hub without power adapter) since that would provide even less power than the MSX itself. Storage devices containing disk image files still need to be connected directly to the USB port of the Rookie Drive. Hub support is for floppy disk drives only.Some MSX computers can't provide enough power for floppy disk drives to be used via direct connection to the USB port of the Rookie Drive, in these cases using a self-powered USB hub (a hub with its own power adapter) should fix the issue. Since version 2.1 using a USB floppy disk drive via an USB hub is supported. See the documentation about the disk image mode for details. The "disk image mode" will activate automatically whenever a standard USB storage device is connected to the USB port if a floppy disk drive is connected then the "floppy disk mode" (the only mode available in older versions of the ROM) will activate instead. Since version 2.0 this ROM also supports working with disk image files contained in standard USB storage devices such as pendrives or SD card readers. A few variants are offered that differ in behavior as explained below. This project implements a standard MSX-DOS 1 DiskROM that allows using standard USB floppy disk drives, thus effectively turning Rookie Drive into an "old-school" MSX floppy disk controller with a few extra perks. Rookie Drive is a USB host cartridge for MSX computers, powered by a CH376 USB host controller.
