Daewoo CPG-120

Description

The Daewoo CPG-120 aka Zemmix Turbo is a MSX2 compatible gaming console. It was released by the Korean company Daewoo. It has an amazing space-fiction layout and it's probably the more surprising design in the MSX universe, with as direct concurrent the Kobo CPC-330K computer. All MSX-compatible consoles from Daewoo are called Zemmix that means 'It's Fun'.

It is partially MSX2+ compatible, just lacking the newer BIOS-BASIC rom, so it means that the specific MSX2+ screens are not accessible in MSX-BASIC. As such not all MSX2+ capable software detects it correctly.

This machine has only one cartridge slot and it's possible to add a keyboard. The addition of a disk drive can also be made, but will use the unique cartridge slot. For these reasons, the MSX2 logo appears on this machine, what's not the case of the Zemmix MSX1 consoles. It comes with its own external power supply.

It has an extra text mode in Basic, the SCREEN 9. It is a text screen mode based on the graphic SCREENs 5 and 6 to display Korean characters.
