RISKY MSX Cart - Rev 1 (Beta Release)

[PhilC]

So far so good with my FS-A1 as well, seems to be more reliable. Plays the SCC conversions I found just fine.

I could do with a link to a good MSX games repository though, as you guys seem to find more interesting stuff than I can.

Could you try this demo, please ASCII8K mapper.

Will do tomorrow morning @arkadiusz.makarenko , three times

And typically my Carnivore 2 finally arrived today but my USB to CF adaptor is nowhere to be seen.

Competition....
Let me know if it is worth to get one.

@arkadiusz.makarenko Yes that demo loads and plays just fine.

I'll let you know about the Carnivore soon. the bigger difference is that the Carnivore is a lot more complex to build and the BOM cost would be huge in comparison to your Risky Cart.

I will be able to improve compatibility with tape to rom conversions.
Some ROMs which are <32KB start to work if you expand ROM by copying first 16KB and paste it at the end of ROM making it 32KB.
This is how I made Boulder Dash to work, so I assume there is plenty of other titles like this.
I need to add one more mapper, at first, and maybe later if I can confirm that it doesn't harm other 16KB ROMs then auto-detect it based on file size.

new firmware with 16KB ROM fix has been released. V0.8.4
