Homebrew BlueMSX - Wii 240p mode

[fbbraganca]

Hello there
I'm trying to figure out how to get 240p correctly with MSX games on Wii using BlueMSX.
I'm using the latest version from wiimpathy (0.3b - forked from meesokim)

Already got the wiiflow arguments right but the display is always black and white. I'm using ntsc roms on a ntsc CRT
I set video on wiiflow to force NTSC, force PAL60 and every option available, but i'm getting the same results, no matter which video mode i try.

240p display mode support

- 240p mode is set per game base
- "Display240p" attribute of Settings tag must be set to "true" in gamelist.xml
to support 240p display - for example, <Settings Display240p="true"/>

It actually worked!! i can't thank you enough
This build should be on the main cover everywhere.

It's important to note that when activated, 240p mode deactivates the emulated virtual keyboard. It seems like a resolution issue. Not that important, but just to inform people

Since I found this post and discovered the possibility of playing msx games at 240p, I tried everything to make it work ... I think the community would benefit a lot from a tutorial (considering that many have never used wiiflow)...

I noticed the 240p mode cuts some screen in the bottom. I was comparing with Virtual Console releases. It's more noticiable with msx2 games (since it has less overscan area).

Is it possible (if not too difficult) to correct the screen position and the emulated virtual keyboard in 240p mode?

As you know, This owner is "beingbee" who is coder of improvement for bluemsx-wii.

I informed 2 issues to him and waited his comments until yesterday.

Therefore, He was amazed at the attention of the 240p mode and expressed his will to improve.

We can't expect quick results, but let's wait for the next one.

That's some good news. Thank you for this
It's nice to hear that such a great emulator is still getting improved unoficially.
