Manuel: which machines do you still need to get the specifics of, and the ROM dumped? Perhaps the seller can dump them before he sells them, or perhaps the buyer is willing to assist.

There is a thread on the subject here by sd_snatcher with link to tools and such:
https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/emulation/dumpingreverse-...

But sd_snatcher simply says "Many models from the middle east" in the list of systems missing ROM dumps.
Looking at the openmsx/machines directory, I only see profiles for the Perfect MSX1, AX-170 and AX-370

Abdulhaleem: are you able to run the tools to gather the necessary data and ROMs from the systems before you sell them? As I said, the tools can be found in the thread from sd_snatcher above.
In addition it would be helpful to have some high-resolution pictures of the systems, including of the PCB (system board) if possible.

Hi Abdulhaleem,

I have never dumped a system before. But it seems not too difficult. If you go to the link I posted, or for simplicity here it is again: https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/emulation/dumpingreverse-...

You will find a download link in the first post for "MSX_machine_reverse_engineering_utils.zip". If you download this and unpack it you will find a README.TXT and four directories with utilities. The README has instructions on how to use the utilities to gather the data.

This will require that you have the ability to copy the utilities to a diskette and run them on the MSX systems. Do you have an external disk drive for the systems without internal drive?

And I guess you also don't own something like a MegaFlashROM or something else that can emulate a floppy disk or hard disk drive on an MSX?

In that case, since most of the utilities are MSX-DOS based, so transferring to tape is no use, the dumping effort would be limited to those machines you have with internal disk drive.
Of course you could still transfer the .BAS files to tape and gather some data from the systems without disk drive, but not enough to allow the openMSX team to emulate the machine.

But regardless, even some high-resolution pictures of the systems and PCB would already be helpful to identify the general features and components.
