,ROMs often only work with a specific version of MESS. This does not seem to affect CPC ROMs, but other systems sometimes give an error message when ROM filenames or checksums do not match what MESS expected.
;Loading external ROMs
You can get a list of slot options with
sdlmess cpc6128 -lslot
One of them is ROM Box, which can be used to load extension ROMs such as [[MAXAM]]:
sdlmess cpc6128 -exp rom -rom1 /path/to/MAXAM.ROM
==GUI front-ends==
*MESS cannot write to disc images in DSK format; only MFI (MESS floppy image) and MFM (HxCFloppyEmulator floppy image) are supported for writing.
*Some demo tricks may be broken in MESS, e.g. overscan pictures are horizontally misaligned (i.e., shifted to the right).
*CPC+/GX4000 emulation still has some obvious graphics glitches.
*The emulated CPC464 has the AMSDOS ROM loaded which is a problem with early 464-only programs that rely on the 464's larger free memory.
