			Thanks for the information. Were you able to trigger it in Yabause? Maybe we can get a state save and explore a bit.

i edited a file (manual.res) to be sure to get the error (i replaced TAK0 string) then when i display the game manual i get always :

on yabause it's harder, it got difficulties to display the text :

EDIT : I get the error because the CD seems to be badly rebuilt, after choosing a pinball, i get a new error window and i can control the cursor and click on EXIT.

			Thanks, I'll take a look to see if I can trigger it.

			Can you dump what VDP2 and VDP1 show in Yabause? I'm interested in seeing what they used. Does the cursor work?

I packed the SMPC sample program in an iso file, ready to use in emulator.

			Wow, great !! I didn't noticed too and was desperately looking in SaturnOrbit folder ... it's sad that theses DTS CDs are not more shared outside of vintage development hardware collector circles. In the header you quoted, the last paragraph itself ("One Intback command per Vblank. At least two SMPC Interrupts per Vblank.") is full of crispy technical informations so I definitely need to check more the other resources there

			DEVCON96 demos (except SGL) start address : 06004000 if a sg3 file is available with the sample it has to be loaded at the address : 06080000 (before the main binary in emulator)

			Thanks to Jo Engine for compilers and tools Emerald Nova for SGL_Hello_World XL2 for ZTE VBT for topic DTS 1995-06 Both use IP.BIN from ABS folder The IP.BIN has SEC1.BIN, SEC2.BIN and a last file (guessing SMPSYS.C) but not sure added end of IP.BIN APP.BIN start address: 06010000 SMPGFS1.BIN start address: 06010000 TUT160.BIN has to be converted to .BIN from TUT160.ASM and put into cd folder Use sh-coff-objcopy -O binary sh-coff-objcopy -O binary "TUT160.ASM" "TUT160.BIN" It is using very early GFS routines to load in TUT160.BIN
