Jsbeeb With MUS Disc Images

Back to 8BS

Listen to the Music 5000 synthesiser here!

Leave the default disc (mus152b.dsd) as the selected disc.
In the emulator window, click the burger menu.
Then click on the default model, BBC B with 8271 near the top left of the emulator window.
A dropdown box will then show you various options to select. Choose Master 128 (DFS).
Then check the Music 5000 synthesiser box.
Click 'Close', the box closes and another appears.
Click 'Restart Now'.
The emulator now restarts as a Master 128 with a Music 5000 attached.
As it restarts, it automatically loads in the necessary ROMs to run the synthesiser.
Press SHIFT+BREAK (BREAK being F12 on the PC Keyboard)
The Music 5000 Menu is loaded in and the emulator is set up ready to listen to the music.
Press 'ESCAPE' and type:
":2.ALWAYS"LOADRUN

Using MUS-152b to MUS-166b

Because Jsbeeb resets whenever you choose a new disc, it is not easy to use the MUS discs before MUS-152b.

For MUS-152b to MUS-166b, the system disc with everything required to get the synthesiser up and running in a Master128 with Music 5000 is on side 0 of the disc image (plus a couple of music files).

Side 2 of these discs contain 422 tunes in total, 30 each on MUS152b to MUS165b and the final 2 on MUS166b. These are most of the tunes compiled from the rest of the MUS section with duplicates removed.

Follow the instructions above up to the point of the 'LOADRUN' command.

Music files are stored on side 2 of the disc image. So type:

*CAT 2 (or *.)

This will show you what is on side 2 of the disc. Decide on what you want to listen to and then type at the % prompt:

":2.<your filename>"LOADRUN

That's inverted commas, colon, 2, dot, filename, inverted commas,LOADRUN exactly as above

Then press 'ENTER'

If you know the file name of the tune you want, than you can use the menu instead of pressing 'ESCAPE' after it loads.
