Burn the image with rufus. The image is Uefi so if your system boots in legacy this one won't work. There are two partitions in the image. Ext4 and vfat indeed. The vfat is the uefi partition. The other one contains the whole os.

Automounting is not build in yet. We are working towards this image 1 step at the time.

Hi Daemos,
I've tested the v3 of MSXli (Ok, the name is just to understand each other on-the-fly, let me know if you like it :-)

SUTDOWN WORKS
AUDIO DOESN'T WORK

My test platforms are:
- HP8200 (i7) with REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO
- INTEL MINIPC Z83 (Atom) with INTEL SST AUDIO

The test was on:
- BEEP on MSX Boot
- PLAY "aaaaaaaaa" command in BASIC
- SPACE MANBOW.ROM game

Maybe more drivers to add?

can you open a terminal on the image and see what the output of ls /dev is?

there should be a snd folder in there. Can you also output lsmod for me?

you can open a terminal by right clicking in the desktop

I'm not a linux expert .. but I try..

I launched the image on the MINI PC and I opened terminal and input:

LSMOD
the result is a serie of lines
This line seems interesting:
snd_intel_sst_core 1 snd_intel_sst_acpi

LS / DEV
the result is:
ls : cannot access 'dev' : no such file or directory

Ops, Sorry.

ls /dev shows many results with different colors.
I confirm that in purple there is also a SND voice...

I forgot to add a question

It could be nice to let users to customize the launch line of openmsx
I know that is possible to set directly in OpenMsx a complex machine configuration and to save it as default configuration.
But in many case is very useful to change it directly from the launch line of OpenMSX.
For example, my default OpenMSX is a super european Turbor that starts with this:

F:\NEWMSX3\_OPENMSX\openmsx.exe -machine Panasonic_FS-A1GTE -ext slotexpander -ext ram4mb -ext audio -ext audio2 -ext gfx9000 -ext moonsound -ext scc+ -ext SunriseIDE_Nextor -hda F:/NEWMSX3/_OPENMSX/zemhdd.dsk

Is it possible to do the same in MSXli ?
