V9958 (but the rom is msx 2.0)

Would this mean v9958 functionalities are supported when using VDP outs? (like on msx'es that have v9958 but not the 2+ ROM)?

That means extra routines for V9958 in MSX2 games work. MSX2+ games with direct access to the VDP will have to be patched (the majority). Programs that use 2+ I/O ports (eg #F4) will not work either.

This cartridge looks great. But at that price wouldn't it be easier to just buy a whole MSX2(+) machine?

Especially when you know there are problems with some software (at least with the original Japanese version):

90 USD is expensive?
