- Compatible with the original MSX joysticks using an adapter (not included).
- Note: The keyboard keys are non-functional.

How to order
Please consider that this is a totally fan-based development. For the moment, the developer can't accept further orders because he needs to find a new affordable provider to print the circuit boards. However, if you are interested, send a message they will contact you when they be able to order a new bunch. The intention is that any MSX Mini Replica should not cost over 90 Euros per unit.
