Game ROM Type List

Hi!

I have checked a lot of games and have a good list of the ROM type they use. Your list is a little short. Do you want me to send my list?

Bye!

Yes please send the list :)

Regards,

Sandy

You´ll have it in two days. Bye!

Hmm, how long is 2 days :)

Yes, yes! You are right, I´m a little lazy. But I´ve had problems with Access too. By Monday you will have it, sure.

By the way, I have tried RuMSX the last days and, to be frankly, this emulator recognize almost 100% of the games, selecting the type of ROM that works better, so...

Another question. I think it would be nice to make a list of the games that currently work with NLMSX. There are currently a lot of games that don´t work or work with flaws.

That´s all. bye!

There is another question too. A lot of games we found in Internet have a wrong "rom" type. For example, I have a copy of HERO (Pony Canyon 1985) that only works with konami 5 SCC, wich is a little rare. It would be useful to know the type of ROM that the game really works with. (oopps, I think I need to learn more English), because my copy may work with konami 5 SCC and another copy work with ASCII 8K, for example.

Hmm, can you post a list of games which doesn't work with NLMSX in the NLMSX forum ? Because I haven't found any game yet which doesn't work with NLMSX :)

Sandy

Well It's hard to find original rom dumps. And i don't know if it's easy to modify ROMS, so they work with an other ROM type. Maybe we should start a new treath 'How to modify the ROM type' ?

Sandy

I´ll make the list, then, but you should try "vestrom", a dsk game which I have posted in the NLMSX phorum as a jpg image... and try not to die.

Or, perhaps you whish to try Golvellius 2...

This is a brief list of games, with their rom type. I´m making a bigger one with Access, but it will not be by Monday, so...

Frontline (1984)(Taito)
Sweet Acorn (1984)(Taito)
Xyxolog(Taito)

Ice World (1985)(Casio)

Ikari Warriors (1987)(Snk)
Labyrint, The (1987)(Pack-In-Video Co)

Note: I have not included Konami games in the list of rom types, because I think it´s easy to select the option (only Syntheziser and Sparkie have "rare" ROMS)

Note 2: I don´t know if this will be very useful, because I have games that work with diferent types or ROM, depending of the copy...

thank you
