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 :lol:

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

Competition.... :P
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.

Thank you very much for help with testing!

No worries, happy to help.

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
