Hello,

I am a long-time MSX fan (from childhood) and just recently acquired 1Chip MSX. Now I would like to get more information how to get some MSX2 games on SD card for it. I am especially interested in titles such as Metal Gear I&II, SD Snatcher (EUR version), Treasure of USAS etc.

Anybody here could help me towards the right path? Every hint appreciated for sure!
LOL!
My best from MSX fan in Finland!

Hello fellow finnish MSX'er!

First of all, asking for pirated software is not allowed here, so you have to search those games by yourself. About the SD cards and adaptors, there exists Megaflashrom SCC+ SD cartridge and it could be bought here: http://www.msxcartridgeshop.com/
I haven't used it myself, since I have the older version of Megaflashrom and Sunrise CF card adapter.
I'm sure you'll get the most basic information out of it by just using the search command here.

Good luck with your rejuvenated MSX hobby!

I don't think msxtavast is helped with this solution.

Ofcourse one of the best devices available for real MSX computers today is a Megaflash ROM SCC+ SD from Manuel Pazos / MSX Cartridge shop for as well storage as the flash option according to running .ROM files. But...

1chipMSX has a flash option from itself and with programms as TNI's ROMLOAD.COM you can start .ROM files directly from your SD card, so no such thing as a Megaflash ROM SCC+ SD cartridge is needed.

Thanks ray2day and akiguchi,

Now I know how to get started with emulations etc. The scene of emulators as such is new to me though I've tinkered for some time with all sorts of computers from Apple II to Oric, Commodores and MSX and so on!

Let you know soon if there is something that I need to know more & if I can help you someway!

Cheers
