afaik that disk version crashes randomly if you have an MSX with 128kb ram (256 or higher should be fine). That has to do with the cracked disk version; it's unrelated to your cartridge crashing.

I know about at least 3 versions of VK's disk crack - 2 of them are a set of binaries (one has 8 bins and the other - 9 bins) and the third is a vkiller.com + vkiller. Which one is the problematic one ?

I know several too...
there's a 128kb/256kb double version which causes problems with 128kb (random lockup)

then there's a really small one with no music and the gamemaster cheats turned on that crashed a lot... that's the version I originally had.... kind of an odd one.

perhaps I played another version but it also crashed (maybe a 128kb exclusive version?) .... I'm not sure on that though....

so, all versions I knew crashed on a 128kb machine anyway... until I got the cart on ebay

I guess we can make a dozen more cracked versions! (But who cares?)

Ah, I'm glad you mean that. Any idea about the differences?

Manuel: do you mean the differences between the original Konami cartridges and the cracked disk versions? Maybe we can give you a tiny hint: cartridges are a bit more thick than disks are

Now seriously: does anyone know the differences between the original ROMs? Is the ROM multiversion (different titles on Japanese/European machines) or are there separate Japan and Europe releases? I would like to know that too.

hmmm actually the crashing of my old disk version bothers me
the thing its actually about is that:

disk version (japanese version of vampire killer) freezes and resets when i walk off the screen.
on both my msx2 nms8245 64k rom 256k ram computers

but the weird fact is that my japanese cartridge version of vampire killer that i recently bought gives the same problem.
freezes randomly but often when i walk of the screen unto the next screen in exactly the same way as the disk version does.
