Help with typing on MSX version.

Post by Flip »

Hi there, guys! I've recently started playing the MSX version of Snatcher, using the translation by Caetano, version 0.6.0. However, after getting to Gaudi, I haven't been able to type any names to receiver their corresponding file information. I'm not sure if I have to type their names with Japanese characters, and in this case how to do it, and so I'd ask someone to tell me how should I input names on this game? Thanks for the help!

You should be able to just type it, are you sure you're spelling whomever's name right? Remember Katrina's name is Catherine in this version.

Yes, I've tried several names like Gillian, Mika, Gibson, none have worked, not even surnames. I'm still at the very beginning of the game, and haven't received my equipment, aside form the ID card, yet. Maybe that has something to do with it? I'm also Brazilian, which means I have a different keyboard input, but all names appear correctly onscreen, so I don't think that has anything to do with it...

I don't think Gillian has a profile in the MSX version. And are you typing exactly as typed here? Because that'll be a problem aswell, you should only type in lower case.

I managed to make it work. For whatever reason, the input was all in caps, even though it wasn't pressed at all. I actually had to hold shift while typing to make it work. Thanks a lot for the help, AwesomeBrand!
