Well, your crossing of fingers seems to have worked as according to the tracking, the MSX cart is due delivery today.

Just arrived :)


Need to get testing next :)

Excellent news. :-)

It's very nicely made, and I have managed to format an SD card no problem, just need to figure out ROM and disk usage.

Well, I have yet another SD card solution on the way, specifically a Concerto cartridge for my 7800.

You can find it here: Concerto Cartridge

Specifically is is a ROM cart that has an SD card with 7800 & 2600 (7800 is backwards compatible with the 2600) onto which you pop all your ROMs and then pick from a menu. It also has a spot for a POKEY like some of the enhanced 7800 carts had, and since I have 2 spare POKEYs, one will be going into the Concerto.

I really must spend some more time figuring out the MSX SD card I recently received, but I have been dealing with family issues again and away.

I need to sort out the BBC stuff i got recently too, PSU is just waiting on a RIFA replacement kit.

So, the Concerto cartridge has cleared UK customs, with a bit of luck I'll have it by the weekend :)

More on that when it arrives, looking forward to giving it a good blast :)

Nice bunch of things dropped off by the postie today:


Some capacitors, an MMC adaptor for one of my Beebs and a Concerto cartridge for my Atari 7800 which gives me SD card support for 7800 and 2600 games, plus also includes a slot to drop in a spare POKEY for extra sound on games that support it.

POKEY is now fitted, just need to test some ROM images to make sure the POKEY works fine, then I can pop the label on.

Very impressed with the delivery time for the Concerto, it arrived from the US in just 8 days

Wow @rubber_jonnie youre going to have a busy weekend. Even busier if I get a chance to post the pcb as well :D
