RBSC presents the reworked version of the 1998's TESTRAM utility. The original version was created by A&L Software. The old RAM testing utility had a few problems that have been fixed in the 2.0 version. In addition, the SE (Special Edition) version has been created, this version is compatible with Arabic and Korean MSX/MSX2 computers where the original version didn't work.
The following bugfixes and new features are available in v2.0:
- Correct detection of 32kb RAM in a non-expanded slot 0 (previous version crashed on base RAM test)
- The base RAM test is run only on 16kb of available RAM when a computer has only 32kb in slot 0
- An additional mapper detection has been added, this allows to test the on-board mapper
- The program can be now controlled by a joystick in port 1
- The special edition works correctly on Arabic and Korean MSXs (for example on Daewoo CPC-400s)
The utility is available in BAS, ROM and BIN formats for flexible usage in different situations. You can download the utility from here:
