The Game Over screen contains a checksum of the scoreboard. You should take a picture of the Game Over screen and send it to Konami. In the original manual can be found a contest, registrations were valid from September 15 to November 15 1988. Using that code as identifier, the game shows either the English or Japanese version. This was a possible because the MSX computer BIOS rom contains a region code. For some games, Konami decided not to produce two different cartridges for different language versions of a game, but put both language versions on one cartridge. As Konami was an international company with worldwide sales and roots in Japan, they needed to produce two versions of their programs: one for the Japanese market and an English version for the rest of the world. Other mappers (such as the Korean mappers) aren't supported by the hardware at all.Īfaik it doesn't even support "no mapper" that means it always assumes a mapper and thus games without a mapper that write to the mapping registers will unintentionally start mapping banks.It was the first MSX game with an SCC sound chip. And because of that, e.g., Spacegun doesn't work correctly. It determines which of these two mappers to use with a heuristic in its firmware (see Maxim's post here.įor the SEGA mapper slot 0 mapping is bugged. ![]() ![]() The Everdrive only supports a buggy default SEGA mapper and the Codemasters mapper. I'm also sorry to say that the Master Everdrive won't run it either.ītw, besides Nemesis 2, did anyone try to open all those other 128kb ones as well, like Penguin Adventure, F1-Spirit, etc., on Everdrive, on Master System? - if they don’t run, what might cause this situation? that non-standard mapper issue only? or an outdated firmware version from Everdrive? or some patches might be needed (might affecting the memory paging only)? i heard some 32kb games are not running as well (and i think these ones uses no mapper as all, which seem quite weird ) It's possible neither of the emulators you mentioned can support it without an update. If you have complete collection of the US and European libraries and willing to lend some cartridges for dumping, please contact me. ![]() I am still in the process of completing a full redump pass of the Game Gear library and could do with some help with the rare games. Until now only the Japanese dump was available. We've also got a Prototype of Cutthroat Island for the Game Gear, the brilliantly implemented fighting game by Software Creations, released in 1995.įinally we've got the US release of Scratch Golf for the Game Gear. I'm sure people will find a way to re-enable the original Metalion ship. This could be an intentional modification that Zemina made, or perhaps a side-effect of the game reading unexpected data and interpreting it as Penguin Adventure. Released by Zemina in 1987, this version is also based on the original MSX1 classic.įor some reason the game always run in "Penguin mode" which was originally unlocked by plugging a Pengun Adventure cartridge in the second cartridge slot of a MSX. After releasing Gradius last year, we've got a dump of the even rarer Nemesis 2 / Gradius 2 (그라디우 2) for the Master System / Samsung Gam*Boy. The Nemesis saga continues with the ultimate cosmic adventure. We've got 3 dumps releases today to keep others patient for the release of competition entries. There's still time for you to come up with a music or coding submission, however humble it is there's a lot to learn from putting something together. Our 16th anniversary and competition day are fast approaching. Gradius 2 / Nemesis 2, Cutthroad Island, etc.
