Cool, nice, you should do a little build guide on here :)Cheshire Noir wrote: 02 Feb 2022 23:21 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.

Already have a Tapuino, supposed to work for Sinclair, Amstrad, MSX etc, just need the cable!Higgy wrote: 03 Feb 2022 09:02 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).
Well, it was advertised as doing it, once I get a tape cable sorted we'll see.Higgy wrote: 03 Feb 2022 20:36 I thought you needed to flash different firmware depending on if you wanted .CAS support. Maybe that's just the Arduino I am using.
