Hi,
Please find forwarded an interesting message that I received from Bernard,
regarding future plans of MSX Association.
I have translated it into English for your convenience.
Kind regards,
Alex Wulms
MSX Association is slowly starting the new hardware developments. The first
step is to make an MSX cartridge reader for PC. This USB device will make it
possible to use real MSX cartridges directly from a PC based MSX emulator.
The MSX association wants to work together with non-Japanese developers, to
achieve a world-standard rom reader. So, if Sunrise or other hardware
developers are willing to participate, you can contact MSX association.
The software interface to control the USB MSX cartridge reader will be made
publicly available, so that besides MSX player also other MSX emulators can
support the device.
The USB MSX cartridge reader is not only interesting for MSX emulators but it
is also the first step towards a new MSX. If a new MSX will be developed,
then the new MSX will not have MSX cartridge slots. But it will have a USB
port. So then the USB MSX cartridge reader can be used in conjunction with
the new MSX to play old ROM games.
