What changed in each version of the Avalon MSX ROM. The current version is 1.8.1. Compare a ROM's SHA-256 with the one below to see which version you have.

  1. Version 1.8.1

    • The silver chest in the forest tells you why it won't open: you still need the Silver Key, or you have already opened it.

    SHA-256: 7147538e9e125765663ace4e333dbe8d72fb7f80c5e888cab64623d25e0d5b26

  2. Version 1.8

    • Conversations flow better: if the next part of a conversation fits below the text already on screen, it appears there instead of on a fresh panel.
    • The weapon and armour shops show both lists at the top. Press Left or Right to switch between Weapons and Armour.
    • Every piece of equipment in a shop shows its status: EQUIPPED, UPGRADE, NO UPGRADE (yours is as good or better) or NEED GOLD. Choosing one you can't buy tells you why.

    SHA-256: 235cd1620f53dc73a13a4804318afbbffa048789d78628f5135f8bd0008f6141

  3. Version 1.7

    • Shop lists have OWNED and PRICE columns, so you can see how many of an item you already carry. The count also shows while you buy, and updates right after a purchase.

    SHA-256: 16f5567961461336a42a9fffadf2803781b942d6b945ba5b467ebb7ffabb0265

  4. Version 1.6

    SHA-256: 9244596959875633e9d7781ab7f879324e40a33bcab670267420f7eb3957b2fa

  5. Version 1.5.2

  10. Version 1.3.2

    • The music choice under Options on the title screen is steadier: moving through the list no longer redraws it, and cancelling keeps the current sound card.

    SHA-256: f18e324eecef2da1311806019e0045ad20abbfa84c9c3c01926a5a584838b934
