RISKY MSX Rev2

[ahmsx]

I started to work on an acrylic case for the RISKYMSX cartridge.
I already assembled the first prototype, but added a few tweaks which I want to validate.

I built and validated the enclosure with the latest tweaks and added documentation to the github repo. Now handling the RISKYMSX cartridge is more comfortable

I don't get any new bug requests or new feature requests any longer.
There is like 2.5KB firmware flash left on the device itself, so not really enough to implement anything serious.
I managed to push this device to it's limits so I don't think I am able to squeeze anything more out of it.

I feel that this project is completed now.

This means that from now on I am planning only to provide basic support for it. I still have it on my bench, but I am planning slowly to clear it off, and prepare space for something new.

I have made some more progress on firmware.
Now I can support Nextor. You need to have 128K mapper ram to run full Nextor, otherwise it will default to DOS 1.
It transforms connected USB into a drive. You need to format and configure drive as Fat16 and it works. I have tested it with up to 4 2GB partitions.
It is Nextor V3 Beta 2. I will update to release as soons as it is available.

I have exposed SCC in Nextor config as well, but I cannot make it to be auto detected, but if you set it up manually it works.
Tested on Sofarun and Trilotracker.

Since I have some flash space to work with, I can add few features.
Menu now has alfabetical order of files ( It was fat16 order)
I have added mapper auto detection. It never will be perfect but better than guessing.

And all good stuff, happy to see you still working away on this.

Will have to figure my MSX out again at some point.

I started working on 8MB 200mhz version of the cart, and I have implemented quite few things on it. Unfortunately this chips is in practice unobtainable at this time,so I decided to backport few things to this version.
LLMs helped me find ways to shrink the firmware, so I got like 7KB flash space back that I am slowly filling with new features.
