Personal thanks to Narkoa and Greenchili for their commendable assistance with MESS, as well as all original devs!

You can now run FM-Towns Marty with MESS!  Follow these steps:)
WARNING : Games name are case sensitive and must match the one in /system/mame/hash/fmtowns_cd.xml

On PSC :
1.  Have latest Injector for AutoBleem/BleemSync installed

2.  Create a fmtmarty folder wherever you plan on running the FM-Towns games from, if on PSC

3.  Place fmtmarty.7z the FM-Towns BIOS within said folder

4.  Copy and paste whichever FM-Towns game you'd like to run, also into fmtmarty folder

5.  From FMT_blank.zip, copy the _DUMMY file/s you want for any given game.  These are what will "load" and point to your hard files.
IE: "tatsuou.zip" would be selected with MESS Core, in order to load Truxton II (Tatsujin-Oh) game called "tatsujin-ou (japan)" (refer to the expected game file in the .xml hash file forehead mentionned).  You would need to have the tatsujin-ou (japan).xxx bin+cue or chd within fmtmartydirectory. 

On NESC/SNESC :
1. Have MESS Dependencies and MESS Core HMODs installed if on NESC/SNESC

2. If on NESC/SNESC, things are slightly trickier.  You can run things easily from _DUMMY folder method, obviously!  But, in order to run from the Main UI, you would need to import to hakchi, as an example, "tatsuou.zip" as a game, "as-is".  Then, navigate to that CLV folder, then create fmtmarty folder, and drag tatsuou.zip inside of it.  Then, copy the fmtmarty.7z BIOS and game files you'd like to run into the same folder.  

Folder structure would then be:  

CLV-Z-NNOEA (CLV may vary)
 \->fmtmarty
     |->fmtmarty.7z
	 |->tatsujin-ou (japan).chd
	 \->tatsuou.zip


Example command line when done would be:  

/bin/mess /var/games/CLV-Z-NNOEA/fmtmarty/tatsuou.zip

You would need to manually change it to be like this (CLV may vary), then close Hakchi, Reopen, then export.


NOTE: MOST of the _DUMMY files are empty, so you will get an unhandled exception error with hakchi when accessing them. To get around this, simply create a text file, using notepad, that matches the name of the DUMMY.zip.  For example, ssf2.zip create ssf2.txt and drag it into the ssf2.zip  This is also a workaround I devised awhile back to easily bypass Hakchi's checksum check perimeter.  This is quite helpful in the cases where checksums match.  You can, of course, add these, as is.  And, if the unhandled exception error pops up, simply click continue!

If any of you have issues running these, feel free to ask, and I will do my best to help you along!


Sincerely, KMFDManic!
