That info you pasted, tfh, is probably just not correct, except for the quote. It draws the wrong conclusion, I think. The quote in MSX Magazine doesn't mention the V9948 at all, it just says screen 9 is not available. Well, that's true, because it is implemented in teh BIOS of the Korean machines only.
again: screen 9 isn't a special screen mode. It's just a software name for a certain mode of the V9938 (as I said: screen 6 with interlacing).

Well, both quotes are from the TNI pages. None of the information is actually mine.
Here are the links to the complete articles:

If there's nothing more interessant in V9948, then Konami's interest is stupid .... As I don't think that Konami strateges are stupid, there's must be another explanation ... Just a guess : register24 was maybe conceived for controlling a (video-)CD drive ? |

To quote Nishi in Tillburg :
" our plans for digital video and audio on MSX helped creating mpeg, although it never got implemented for MSX."
So, register 24 was maybe for that !
Something really interesting for Konami 
Imagine Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake with this advanced technology on MSX ! |

According to Nishi, almost every technological achivement was more or less started by MSX...
And the Screen9/Konami story has also been circulating in the MSX comunity for ages, without any proof.
/me just sticks to the above  |

As screen 9 works perfectly in the emulators without knowing the specifications of V9948 and register 24, then register 24 must be useful for some very important new feature
I think that register 24 is removed from V9958 to keep secret this feature ! (on request of Konami of course) |

Will you guys cut out with the Konami stuff? Konami has not had any influence on any part of the MSX design!

Poke: You can make a ninja bid for the tapes on eBay
Hmm.. I made an intended dialog thread and noone answers.. Then I make a monologue thread, and all hell breaks loose?
Anyway, there would be no use for a special VDP if they were just BIOS screens.. |

Sonic: I think it was made up by someone in the MCM. Or the MCM quoted a person who thought it up, as a rumour.
