MSX category and rules

Just wanted to request that categories be added for the MSX releases of Romancia, since I've started running those and they are very different from the Famicom version.

The rules should probably also be different to reflect the version differences as well; there's no blue orb to mark the end of the game on non-FC versions. I'd propose something like this for the MSX rules:

[quote]Timing begins when Fan Freddy's sprite appears in front of the castle. Timing ends when the dragon's head leaves the screen after being slain.[/quote]

I'll submit it formally once the categories exist, but here's my current MSX1 PB, fwiw. Sorry for the missing audio! :-/

Thanks so much!

Famicom and MSX1 are the only platforms I've run all the way through, so I can't speak with too much expertise beyond that. I think MSX2 should be basically the same as MSX1 with better graphics, but it might have less lag in areas with lots of sprites? I'll probably be recording an MSX2 run pretty soon for comparison, so we'll see.

Based on walkthroughs, I believe PC-88 and PC-98 have an exploit where you can do karma grinding in heaven by using the lamp on the angels flying around, so routing for those would probably be different and faster, if anyone ever runs them. (I don't have any plans to do so myself.)
