Hello,
I own this game (https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/loriciels/echec/relea...) in cassette format with manual.
I didn't find the rom on the web.
I would like to know if it's an undumped game.
Thanks in advance.

It seems to be undumped indeed. if you are able to make a recording/dump: please feel free to contact me so I can make it available for the community.

I don't know if my cassette is working, and I don't have the hardware to dump it.

I will try to look someone who could dump it near where I live (France).

I scanned the cover and the manual: https://mega.nz/file/ugMTzYIZ#BW7vrZzKs_yM8P2Q9TQs1bvdzOx1tW...

If you can just get the recording in WAV format (or even better, several recordings) it's enough. If it's undumped, indeed it's quite interesting to preserve it!

What's your hardware?

If you have a disk interface, you can start to save the BASIC part as following.

LOAD"CAS:
SAVE"ECHEC.BAS",A

Then you can view the program with a text editor. If the game is in a single binary file, you can easily see where it's loading up with the emulator debugger and dump it. Otherwise, it's more complicated. Making a wav may also be a simple solution provided you get the right sound level.
