Crash course for noobs?

UnregisteredPosted: June 04 2003, 20:03   
I had other computers "back in the day", but I bought an SVI-728 from a friend in 1999. Hasn't been until recently that I've actually started exploring it, so I would like to know if there's a good place to start off on my MSX adventure. For instance, are there any interface cards or cartridges that would allow me to transfer stuff I find on the net from my PC to my MSX? Where can I get a run-down on the ancient and recent history of MSX? Where should I go to catch up?

Anything that anyone would be kind enough to help me with would be very much appreciated.

Welcome to the MSX world, voidboy How to get some info? Well erhm, you sure found the right site to start! Just start browsing our News archive and read our forums....

For a quick overview of MSX and its history, I suggest you take a look at the Ultimate MSX FAQ.

Cheers

Answering to your question: to simply interface the MSX to the rest of the universe, the most unexpensive way is to use WAVeR v.2. This is a PC tool that converts MSX ROMs to WAV audio files that can be loaded from any MSX using its cassette input connection.

To learn more about WAVeR, have a look at http://www.robsy.net
Select the ROM conversion tools page.

Kind regards and welcome!
