This emulator allows to save the game like in the original cartridge.

2.- On "MSX type" select any MSX2.
*To play at 50Hz (slower) select "C-BIOS MSX2 EU"

3.- On "Extensions" select the "MegaFlashROM SCC + SD" option.

Update the cartridge:

If you purchased the physical version, you'll find here how to update your original Pampas & Selene cartridge into a more recent version. Have in mind that:

1.- The Pazos' MegaFlashRom is required.
2.- Only for cartridges before October 2023.
3.- Your progress won't be lost: you'll keep your current game and achievements.

Before updating the cartridge you should know what version you have. To do that, insert the cartridge in your MSX2 and switch it on. On the main menu you'll see the version.



The version is composed by a letter and a number.
The letter is the hardware of the cartridge, and the number the version of the game.

R -> Rafa's cartridge.
Y -> Yamanooto cartridge.

There are only updates for the R version (first edition) because Y version (second edition) have already the latest version of the game and therefore they don't need to be updated.

If you have the R-04 or beyond, it's not that important to update it as only a few typos have been fixed.

To update your cartridge please follow these steps:

1.- Connect the microSD from the MegaFlashRom to your computer.

2.- Copy the pasu.com file in the microSD. If you don't have it, download it from here.

3.- Copy pampas_r.rom in the microSD. Remember, pampas_r.rom is only for R-Type cartridges (R-01, R-02, R-03, R-04, etc), never use it if you own a Y-type as it should stop working.

4.- Remove the microSD from your computer and put it back to Pazos's MegaFlashrom.

5.- Insert Pazos' MegaFlashRom in the slot 1 of your MSX2, and the Pampas & Selene cartridge in the slot 2.

6.- Switch on your MSX and keep the ESC y Q keys pressed until you see A:\>.

7.- Type B: and pres RETURN. You'll see B:\>

8.- Type pasu pampas_r.rom and press RETURN.



The process will take a couple of minutes. Once finished, you'll have your game up to date.
