I wonder if it would be possible to convert the bin files of Hype into a ROM. I´d love to play it in my Game Boy.  |

You can always take the dsk file of Hype and then convert it using DSK2ROM program. It might work on your Gameboy that way.

Has it been dumped already? I don't think I've ever seen a Arabian msx cart before.

Rolins, I know a program called BIN2ROM, it tries to convert bin files to ROMs, but it´s success is limited (it did not work with Hype). Is DSK2ROM a different program?

It did not work. 
What are the differences between a ROM file and a game in two bin blocks? Both binary blocks take 32,936 bytes (168 more bytes than a 32 Kbytes game). Are these extra bytes a header that can be discarded, i.e.: can I remove the right bytes and simply merge the binary blocks into a ROM file? Or does it require extra knowledge? |

There's a ROM version of Hype made by Jam at MSX Legacy compilation.

Did you create a .dsk file first of the binary files? |

Yes, I want to create a ROM file with Hype, so:
Step one: I created a DSK file with an autoexec.bas that loads the 2 Hype binary blocks.
Step two: I used DSK2ROM to create a (compressed) ROM file. Although the game worked in its DSK form, the ROM file did not work either in BlueMSX or MSXAdvance. |

Update: messing with DSK2ROM parameters, I could make the ROM work in BlueMSX, but not in MSXAdvance. Probably the problem is with this emulator...

AFAIK MSXAdvance doesn't run ROMs that use BASIC.  |

Maybe it doesn't detect it's a scc mapped rom (can that be forced?), or maybe using the ascii mapper as rom mapping will work?
