I already found a second Zemmix V
Now I'll probably have 2 of them.
Still negotiating the trade with the owner however, so not sure yet

I received my Zemmix Also 32 Zemmix cartridge games.
I made a "special" on the subject on my website.
Check it out

Nice!
It would be cool if you could dump those games, for preservation purposes

Tell me how, and I'll do it

Kris

Use http://www.msxnet.org/utils/saverom.com
But you need to find out the mapper type. I assume it will be either Konami 8kB or ASCII 8kB/16kB... :/
Information about different mappers is here: http://www.msxnet.org/tech/megaroms

It's not trivial, so maybe we should find out first what games have already been dumped, to save you some trouble

Okay
I visit this forum almost daily, so when you know which dumps you need, then just tell me, I'll try and make them.

I contacted Sean from http://www.msxnet.org/tech/megaroms
But it seems like he won't reply Maybe he's on a holiday ?

Thanks to my contacts in Korea I've been able to collect a huge amount of information on the Zemmix system.

If interested, visit my website

I'm who, time ago, made quickly a WEB page with information about Zemina RAM expansion cartridges:

http://www.arrakis.es/~ivalat/zeminaMSXboxes.html

Of all the stuff shown on that page I only own the Deluxe IV cart. I got it from eBay from a Canadian person (who tried to insert that rare cartridge in his Famicom console...). I pay for it about 135 euros (!) including shipping costs.

The problem of those cartridges is that there's no standard loader program that patches ROM files (and I'm not good in ASM to make such loader). The few ROMS adapted for those cartridges were sent to me by a french MSXer (Jean Pierre Dubois).

I've noticed that there's a dead link in the Zemina page (http://zerblatt.optiva.ee/~pronto/msx/msx_games_rom.html) but the Zemina version of Salamander id there I should update it.

It would be nice to make a unique Zemina, Zemmix, or Korean MSX related WEB (and with a good design, not like mine) because there's a lot of information split on several sites.

I kinda collected the info from all those websites + the info I got from my Korean friends.

Therefor I think I have about all information available on my zemmix page.
What is not available can be found in the links section.

90 in 1: It is mapped by a I/O port instead of mapped memory. The port is &H77 bits 0-5: selected 16KB page bits 6-7: addressing mode... 00 = same page at 4000-7FFF and 8000-BFFF (normal mode) 01 = same page at 4000-7FFF and 8000-BFFF (normal mode) 10 = [page AND 3E] at 4000-7FFF, [page AND 3E OR 01] at 8000-BFFF (32KB mode) 11 = same page at 4000-7FFF and 8000-BFFF, but 8000-BFFF has high 8KB and low 8KB swapped (Namco mode) 64 in 1: As ASCII 8KB but maps in 4000h, 4001h, 4002h and 4003h 80 in 1: The same as 64 in 1 126 in 1: As ASCII 16KB but maps in 4000h and 4001h.

I got mail from Sean.
Hope this is what we need ?

If anybody needs the rom files, and can tell me how to exactly use the rom dumper, then I'll do it

Great info pages - and that Zemmix Turbo looks fantastic ... if one day someone could get a hand on it and show it around at a fair or so...

As my Korean friend states in one of the updates below on my Zemmix page:

It is almost impossible to find a Zemmix Turbo.
It was extremely expensive and thus didn't sell very well...
None of my Korean contacts even ever saw a real Zemmix Turbo.
And if they didn't even see it I guess that one is unfindable...
(Then again, if you would have asked me a week ago, I would have said that the Zemmix V was unfindable too )

In Russia I saw many playrooms using Atari and Famicoms.
Most of these famicoms used many-in-one cartridges.
I always thought that MSX without keyboard can be even better gaming console, especially with this many-in-one ROM.
Now I know that I am not the only one who realized this
Our Korean comrades even made this dream real !

P.S. First time I saw Nemesis 3 and Contra on Famicom. I didn't know that the same titles are released on MSX too (well, on MSX it's without smooth horizontal scrolling)
