MultiROM game collection

As we previously announced, Manuel Pazos is to release new MultiROM cartridges on the 9th of December, during the next MSX user meeting in Barcelona. As an extra promotion, a MultiROM cartridge with no less than 8 different games will be sold for 10 euro. The games on this cartridge have just been announced:

Kralizec Tetris (Kralizec)
Majikazo (Lemonize)
Operation Wolf Extended Version (Toy Box) - Original release
Parachuteless Joe (Paxanga Soft)
StratoS (CEZ Team)
Traffic Jam (Imanok)
The Cure (XL2S Entertainment)
Universe Unknown (Infinite)

As you can see, this is a very good reason to visit the next MSX user meeting in Barcelona, if you have the chance to do so.

I'll never be able to visit Barcellona this December. Any chance to buy one of these MultiROM cartridges online?
Gee... I hope that sooner or later some Karoshi games will be available in one of these MultiROM carts...

What about a "Karoshi Best-of-the-best compilation" cart with these games?

Griel Quest For The Sangraal
Saimazoom
Malaika
Speedjet Racers
Phantomas Saga Infinity
Monster Bash / Columns (if ready)
Dynamite Dux (I love this game, and hope that sooner or later its MSX port will be completed)

Great news

But this will unfortunately disqualify traffic jam and operation wolf from msxdev'06. Maybe this rule can be removed before december 9th so they won't be disqualified:

Do not redistribute neither unfinished or finished versions of the game before the end
of the contest. Finished versions will be distributed only from the MSXdev'06 official
web pages before the end of the contest. Beta versions used for debugging and testing
purposes are allowed, but they should be only distributed to beta-testers.

dvik: I was talking with the authors and both Operation Wolf and Traffic Jam are heavily enhanced versions, very different to those entered the contest: Traffic Jam features more stages and goodies, and Operation Wolf includes cool graphical intros and lots of add ons such as mouse support and more. So, those enhanced versions could not compete into the contest: but the original ones submitted to the contest are perfectly legal entries, as those versions have not been released in other media than the MSXdev'06.

GREAT!
I'm waiting for a MultiRom game collection - OCM bundle

That would be so cool.

That should be good then. I just don't want to see these entries disqualified. I thought it was worth mention so there won't be any issues after this very nice release.

Yeah, that will be a NICE release. I'll get one for sure! (yeah, Karoshi will be there!)

... and about that 2 missing games in the list... hidden games inside or something?

It must be a mistake... AFAIK it's not possible to put more than 8 games in that MultiROM cartridge.

Wow! The Cure and an extended version of Operation Wolf. I will get that cartridge!

And the best tetris game ever released for MSX!

This multiROM cartridge has 8 games 'only'. It could be possible to put more depending on its size (i.e.: 32 games of 8k). But as Imanok said, in this case the limit is 8.
I'll try to take enough copies to Barcelona

A question: how can we select the desired game to play it?

By Guillian

Paladin (997)

24-11-2006, 15:07

You have to play or select them sequentially. By pressing RESET the next game is selected.

By SaebaMSX

Champion (416)

24-11-2006, 15:18

It can be done by pressing Select so it changes to the next game.
[Edit] Hmm... I was too late... since my boss was behind me after I started to write it.

The cartrigde has a RESET button or you mean the RESET button on the MSX?

My MSX has no RESET button

8*32k? But aren't The Cure and UU 48k? I guess some are smaller then.

Anyway, I'd like to order it as well! Manuel Pazos: please make it available for the rest of us!

>My MSX has no RESET button ...

No problem. Just switch off and on your MSX. The next game will appear

You don't need to do it quickly. You can wait several seconds before turning you MSX on again.

>8*32k? But aren't The Cure and UU 48k? I guess some are smaller then.

Actually it is 64k * 8 (512k)

>Anyway, I'd like to order it as well! Manuel Pazos: please make it available for the rest of us!

Don't worry about that. It will be available for everyone

Thank you very much to all of you for the reactions!

If there was online shopping and shipping to Brazil, I would pre-order it RIGHT NOW! Will it ever be possible?

By Patsie

25-11-2006, 10:27

I too would love to get a copy (or actually 2). But having to go to Spain (from The Netherlands) to get them is a bit expensive and time consuming. If there was a way to get it through mailorder I would be first in line

By dvik

Paragon (1517)

25-11-2006, 11:43

I'd like one too. I'll try to sneak in front of the line when Patsie doesn't pay attention. Would it be possible to have one shipped to the US?

By Guillian

As I said in a previous post, the cartridge will be available for everyone

Probably Sunrise will distribute it and I'll acept orders after the Barcelona meeting.
So unless I run out of stock, every user interested will get his/her multiROM cartridge.

Isn't there a more elegant way to switch games? Does this mean you might need to press reset several times to access a certain game?

By Guillian

Paladin (997)

26-11-2006, 14:12

The game selection could be made with a menu, like it is done in MegaFlashROM multiROMs. But then we need to use a mapper (or similar) and will increase the price.
I think pressing a button 1 or 7 times is not a too hard job
