MSX Inbound!!

The MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD looks right up my street.

You could take a look at the Carnivore2 as well, which is a great expansion, though not sure if it is available at the moment.

Cool, thanks.

Carnivore 2 was my backup choice. The difference between the two seems minimal in terms of features.

Building the Omega was not without hiccups, and of course I found the "Here's a step by step guide with full testing and loads of helpful tidbits after I'd finished assembling everything.

I wrote it up here: https://ilike8bits.com/2022/01/13/build ... omega-msx/

TLDR: Finding the right ROM image was a little tricky. The LEDs on the keyboard go on top of the keys. Don't get the SRAM and EPROM confused.

Cool, nice, you should do a little build guide on here :)

CASDunio is good for tape loading and is cheap.
Also pretty simple to make your own.
I've only got one of those for my HX-10. Some carts have been converted to tape like Penguin Adventure (might have wrong name, but that impressive looking Konami game).

Already have a Tapuino, supposed to work for Sinclair, Amstrad, MSX etc, just need the cable!

I thought you needed to flash different firmware depending on if you wanted .CAS support. Maybe that's just the Arduino I am using.

Well, it was advertised as doing it, once I get a tape cable sorted we'll see.

I used an old mobile I had lying around and a copy of MSX2CAS that worked fine for me.

A huge thanks to @mrbombermillzy who sent me this:

It's the matching Toshiba HX-J400 joystick for my MSX machine.

I'm very grateful, thank you sir!

No probs.

In fact, you can probably thank @Steve , for being the catalyst for me having to hunt around the 'hidden treasures' that are stashed away in the house! :lol:
