Hi !

I've bought a Turbo-R some time ago and to my surprise most of the spanish games (Dinamic, Topo soft, etc..) simply doesn't work on it. Has anyone succeeded to adapt these games to make them work on Turbo-R ? just wondering..
thanks

There are quite a few games patched usually in ROM format to work on the Turbo R.

You may be able to make some of them work using the “universal” poke, see this thread:

Apparently in the turbo-R it's poke -1, 0 instead of the usual, but I don't have one myself to test.

Many games converted to ROM works on turbo R. What works will probably have a font problem but I think the Turbo R Bios can be patched in RAM mode. What games do you want to run? Do you have a device to launch the Roms?

Another solution for .cas and .dsk could be the RMSX emulator although I have hardly tried it.

I have no problems running it on emulators, only when i'm running it in my Turbo-R (or emulated Turbo-R)

Among the titles you give, there are the following roms that work on turbo R.

Astro Marine Corps Part 1 (sha1: ef81a612bd7d2f92731ee073b23b884a459aa2a2)
Astro Marine Corps Part 2 (sha1: a6b27e6109f7dd461e9afed508e064467f814822)
Satan Part 1 (sha1: 97db7fcbcfc0cb780382ce13bf40364c015393a7)
Satan Part 2 (sha1: ef995a83780cceabd2b68a2a8a366ebbcc36b33b)

They used their own code for memory mapping, which was oriented for Sony and Philips memory config brands mainly. The TR can be some different then they crash.
