Okay, good to read i'm not the only one with this issue
In the meantime i will try it on my CX5M (msx1). Hopefully this works, because therefore i have to use a slotexpander in order to connect franky, an external memory mapper and a boot device (disk or CF).

Thanks for the Shinobi version!

Wish Franky was emulated in openMSX

Fortunately, it (still) isn't.
That keeps it interesting in using the real hardware...

Yes! Dropzone also works on a Philips NMS8220. Accidentaly, when i started Shinobi (succesfully) on my 8220, i also tried Dropzone.
For this i inserted a memory mapper (512kb) in cart slot a, a slot expander in cart slot b and within the slot expander Franky and a CF interface inserted.
To start the game i have to press both fire butons almost simultaneously, i don't know why (?)

I forgot to mention that my 8220 is expanded to 128k because of the CF interface (dos2). I don't know if it matters in this case because my 512kb external mapper was also inserted.

@Robby
I think the MSX BIOS will choose the more bigger RAM Mapper so the 512kb external mapper become the primary mapper of the system at the beginning and that what the loader will require. Good luck.

Remember a Game Gear System have a Third Button if you compare to the Sega Master System with just 2 Button Joypad so the easy way to address that is use a combination of direction cursors with fire buttons (GG Shinobi) on SMS converted games.

On the other hand, it makes a lot easier to those interested in developing for Franky.

I'm still waiting for an emulator that supports cd-rom emulation (with cd audio output) in order to play Knightmare Gold with cd audio music.
