ROM image seems to work fine in OpenMSX.

Anything special for this ROM? Is it new? Old? Maybe using some memory mapper? Or maybe it assumes a certain slot configuration and RAM location on the machine? Thanks.

Hi Paulo, It's a very old rom (1987), brought out by a company focussing on the Arabic market. I've tried booting it with altslotconfig, which didn't help. On OpenMSX it starts straight away no matter what MSX machine I select. Even with a machine like the Sony HitBit F500 which has a weird memory configuration it boots fine)

Vampiers ROMDB now has an entry for it and the Start Address is supposed to be 0x8000 (with the Type: Normal) whilst WebMSX tries to load it at 0x4000. Given WebMSXs internal Vampier ROMDB is now 4 years old (and does not have an entry for this ROM), it might be useful to update it to the latest version since the DB has grown significantly.

Yes, you nailed it! It works with Start Address 0x08000, has to be MIRRORED and only works with no Floppy interface inserted. There used to be a URL parameter to force ROM Starting Address, but I removed it... :-( And yes, we need to update the ROM DB, and fix some bugs. Thanks for the find! Peccin

Maybe you can re-add the URL parameter for forcing the ROM address in the new version?
Or maybe for the moment e-mail me a savestate with a working version of X&Y? ;)
