ok.... will an NMS8220 work on converted 60hz power? And will it connect correctly with my TV?

I'm probably going to ask my parents to bring my first MSX2 with them Smile (NL=>US)

I do not know about NMS8220 but I have NMS8280 and it works fine with my LCD TV (I am in the US and only use a 220V->110V converter for the computer itself).

What kind of TV/Connector are you using ? 60hz is not the issue with the MSX, but finding the right connector to get a decent picture might be an issue. With the typical A/V cable the picture quality is terrible.

SCART is not used in the US; but there are way around that.

LOL, that took some time.
What are you going to use to lead the games, as the nms8220 doesn't have a diskdrive?

I bought an SCART to HDMI converter with the RCA to SCART adapter (had to dremel a bit to make it all work) i asked my parents to include the SCART cable - i also bought myself an msx2+ and a MFR scc+ SD (with mem mapper for the nms8220). of course i used openMSX to see if it would all work as expected Smile

Could you please elaborate? I mean NMS8220 seems to have a SCART port (looking at online photos now) so a SCART to HDMI converter should be sufficient, right (assuming the TV has an HDMI port)? Where does the RCA to SCART go?
