Project information

Aleste 2 is a great game by Compile for the MSX2 (and upper) series of home computers. It was a sequel to "Aleste" and a precursor to "M.U.S.H.A." for the Megadrive.

The original MSX2 game had some drawbacks that have been fixed with this patch.

-Conversion to a 738KB ROM. Now, the game can be played uninterruptedly. -The difficulty level was wrong due to an uninitialized variable. -Many slowdowns occur due to overload on the Z80 CPU. The game takes advantage of the R800 CPU if played on a MSXTurboR to fix this problem. -FM routines do direct illegal I/O access, preventing the right playback on fast CPUs. It has been fixed so the music now works fine on both Z80 and R800. -Fixed a bug that caused corrupted graphics in R800 mode.
