POP MSX
A downloadable game
A simple technical demo of the first level of Prince of Persis for the ColecoVision, MSX and SG-1000 consoles.
These consoles never got a port of POP. This is a prototype release to keep you updated with progress on the project. The game plays smoothly but is missing a few feature. Guard rendering added to prove it would work on this hardware. No sword fights yet.
First 2 levels only.
Version 1.02
- Fixed to run on MSX2 (with MSX1 graphics)
Version 1.01
- Implemented most player movements
- Added guards (but they don't work)
- Completed level 1
- Added level 2

Great work! However, I was only able to run the demo on OpenMSX with a C-BIOS MSX1 system ROM, not any actual MSX1 machines like Spectravideo 728. I assume it's the ROM size?
Would it be possible to create a smaller 64 kb ROM version which would also be portable to Spectravideo 328?
Good progress of a admirable port!
Good for SG - 1000. Continue doing your best !
Using SofaRun to start the demo from a GR8NET on a Sony MSX2+, it just reboots the machine after loading the ROM. What settings do I need?
Try it now. It woks on OpenMSX now, but I don't have real hardware.
It still crashes my Japanese Sony HBF1XV MSX2+, but it does work on my Dutch Philips VG8235 MSX2.
Awesome!
This is already amazing. Great work so far.
So great!! 😊
Very cool. Would you consider porting it to NABU PC? It has the same CPU, video and audio chip as MSX.
Probably not POP, since it's about 200K and requires a bank switching cartridge. But I can look at the possibility of supporting NABU with some of my other games.
Cool game porting! Nice job mate! Could you please make a porting for sg-1000/sc-3000?
SG-1000/SC-3000 is available in the download. This is my favourite platform as well.
If not done, pls enter in our FB group "SC-3000 Survivors", I'm an admin of it.
Cool project! To play on WebMSX, It seems to need Set ROM format as "ASCII16"
Wow, if this is only a tech demo, then it looks very good and it’s a perfect base to make the whole game. I also was impressed when they made PoP for C64 or Atari 8-bit, so now for MSX it’s also very exciting! And colecoVision too? Wow! Good work!
So interesting ! When will you finish it ?
POP is a big project. I'm working in it now, but it will take a few months to complete.
Awesome demo remake !
Nice demo!
