>And the map screenshot of Pastfinder looks familiar, so I have played that, but I meant a different game. Complete 2D, everything smaller, and red backgrounds<
Is that maybe Buck Rogers ?

Temptations, AleHop, INK, Goody, Livingstone Supongo, Last Mission, Gauntlet, Batman (I know about the japanese 64 KB ROM), Head over Heels, all Ultimate's filmation games (again, I know about the japanese ROM versions published by Jaleco).

No, not Buck Rogers, I said 2D. Oh well, I probably won't even recognise the game when I see it, because I only remember 2 screens... and that it was pretty awesome, and difficult.

Is there a way to make a .rom from a .bin file?
Most tape game have been converted to .bin's (with basic loader).

I can think of at least one way: create a rom that contains the bin (or bins) and have the init routine of the rom copy the bin's contents as if it were BLOADed and finally execute the loaded code...

That includes, of course, RAM allocation and management, unpack / copy information, initialization of BASIC pointers if requiered, etc. A lot of fun!

-Outrun MSX1 (just because of the excellent PSG rendition of Magical Sound Shower; the game itself is quite bad)
-Venom Strikes Back
-Chess Game MSX2 (because it simply takes forever to load on tape)

Playhouse Strippoker, Break In, Amaurote.

It takes a bit of work but about everything is loadable from ROM. I already made ROM versions of: Boulder Dash 1, Boulder Dash 2, Booga Boo the Flea, Chuckie Egg, Hunch Back. A game like Lazy Jones would require to be loaded from a megarom, but just as easy.

They were online once (even online playable) on my homepage but a few years ago I've taken those offline.

Bifi -> But you still have them? Can you share them again?

You can find one more conversion tool in the same BIFi's page :

Look for bas2rom...

But all of them only can create a ROM from an MSX-BASIC file (with or without .BIN included)

WAU!! Lazy Jones MEGAROM game!!!!!!!


please explain to us ordinary people why Lazy Jones must be loaded from a 128K megarom, oh Mighty One??

I know it´s music is outstanding, but still...

There was a spanish rally game that I've played a lot, I don't remember the name at the moment...
Maybe it was Carlos Sainz rally?

Paris Dakar perhaps?

More cartridge deserving games: Who Dares Win 2 and Pacmania.

Break In exists in cartridge format .... I had buyed it in the MSX golden age and I still have this cartridge, released by Jaleco in 1987 !
