Do you know if any ROM dump of an original Danish/Norwegian, Swedish/Finnish or even Polish MSX like the SVI-738 has been preserved?
Please speak up if you have one or such an unmodified machine!

I am looking for known good dumps of Scandinavian and/or Polish MSX machines.... These files you mention there are probably international and Spanish, and I have no idea about their status. I am only looking for unmodified original ROM dumps.
But thanks anyway!

I've dumped 3 original Polish roms from my SVI-738:

They work fine in blueMSX (including the custom Polish keyboard layout this 738 has).

Thanks! Can you show some pictures of the Polish keyboard?

As for the Polish machine, here is its character set:

What we need now is to make a table that tells us which unicode character belongs to each of these, very similar to https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/blob/master/share/unicode...

Are there any Polish people who can identify the characters from the character set?

Very useful sites to do this:
https://www.kreativekorp.com/charset/whereis/
https://www.kreativekorp.com/charset/whatis/
https://www.kreativekorp.com/charset/unicode/

I tried a bit, but I have a hard time identifying the characters properly. I did see some strange things:
- the character 0x0F seems to be the same as 0xBB (latin capital letter z with stroke)
- the character 0x1B seems to be the same as 0xB7 (latin capital letter n with acute)
- the character 0x1C seems to be the same as 0xBE (latin capital letter z with acute)
- the character 0x89 seems to be the same as 0xB9 (latin small letter s with acute)
- the character 0x8A seems to be the same as 0xBD (latin small letter z with acute)
(And there might be more which I didn't find yet.)
Did I see this correctly?

Note that a similar table needs to be made for the Danish/Norwegian character set:

The Swedish/Finnish character set is the same as the international one, so that was rather easy:
(which thus results in the file https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/blob/master/share/unicode... )
