Hi, It looks fantastic! Congratulations for your work!
I have a problem here. The game doesn't run on emulators I tried (Fmsx, BlueMSX). What should I do? I've tried several types of mapper and nothing works. Any help?
Thanks!

MSX emulators can be tricky like that. I'm trying to run the game in BlueMSX right now, and not getting encouraging results whether I use an MSX BIOS or the freeware C-BIOS. You may have more luck with OpenMSX or Emulicious... I just got the game running on the latter emulator after an update.
When I'm in the mood for the MSX, I typically play the game on handheld devices, where problems don't crop up so much. What I'd recommend is try the ColecoVision version (GearColeco) or the SG-1000 version (Kega Fusion) instead. It's not the answer you wanted, but at the moment, it's all I can offer.
Okay, I think I've got this licked. When running the game in BlueMSX, first select File -> Cartridge Slot 1 -> Insert from the menu. Choose the game (typically "whackem_msx.rom"), then select "SCC" or "Konami SCC" as the ROM type. I'd recommend using C-BIOS as the BIOS, since it comes with the emulator. That can be changed in Options -> Emulation. Make sure you have the BIOS where BlueMSX can find it, or nothing will happen.
