  • I've uploaded a 2.0 gerber version with improved IC footprint for better insertion of the 27C512.

  • Hi, I can't get it to work... I followed the instructions to make a cartridge with a single 32K game. I closed A+B, I inserted 1uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor and I used the Swaprom program to modify the original rom and I programmed the 27C512 eprom with the modified file. I tried the cartridge in my Msx Philips and it gives me a black screen and the Caps light comes on. Can you help me?

    Hi Paolo! Sorry for the late response. I've just tested this board and works just fine.
    Your board is ok, but you need to close A+B and also the first 2 pins of JP1, since JP1 is used to choose between the first 32K and the last 32K of the 27C512.
    Also, I recommend a simple hex editor to swap your rom files, i use HxD. Nothing against Swaprom software, but with HxD you have better understand of what you are doing.
    For example, for 32K Galaga, simply copy the content from address 0000 to 3FFF, and paste it from 4000 to 7FFF, and vice versa.
    I tested this on my MSX1 argentinean clone Talent DPC-200, wich is based on the corean versión from Daewoo.

    Aditionally, I'm not very pleased with the footprint I used for the IC, the holes are too small and makes not easy to insert the 27C512, sorry for that. I will upload a 2.0 version with bigger holes for better insertion.
