An EPROM usually holds data for something between 12 to 35 years... So, a bit flipping over so many years seems like reasonable Tongue Would never thought about it though, great catch Wink

I know an eprom can loose data over many years, but that is not what happened here Big smile
There is nothing wrong with my real MSX, but with the data I read many years ago from it's bios chip...
Now that I read it again, I discovered a different bit in the first file.
So reading out the original eprom went wrong a few years ago.

Could you share your working version? Thanks in advance!

This is the schematic I got from Jipe --> KonamiMapper
Please note that this is for Konami only, NOT for Konami SCC...
The Parodius ROM I'm going to use is a modified version that doesn't require the SCC mapper.

thanks. No capacitors needed? Nobody has gerber?

A capacitor on every chip is a good idea 100nF.
And a Gerber would be nice. Maybe you could make one in Kicad? And share?

Capacitors are needed indeed, not in the schematic...
Just add a 100nF close to the 74LS670, and one close to the 29F010 (or 27C010) chip, and a 100uF/16V over the 5V.

Didn't make a PCB design for it, just made a quick and dirty wire PCB and added this to a 16k cartridge PCB I got from you roadfighter ;-).

After this worked, I scaled it down to fit into these beautiful injection molded cases I bought a few years ago (no idea where I got them from, too long ago...)




Looks good right ?

If you want to have Gerber files for this Konami mapper cart, I can surely design one.
But it's going to take some time, very busy at the moment...
