During the RetroMadrid event held last weekend MSXCalamar introduced a new and smart idea to the MSX scene. Do you remember the Bee Cards from Hudson Soft? What about if we use the same concept and we replace the card by a Game Boy Advance cartridge? That's it!
MSXCalamar focused on cost reduction in all aspects and this format is a very good alternative taking into account the availability of Nintendo components and price. They expect a cost about one-third of a current game price.
And there is more to come, the main cartridge board will work as a reader/writer device and will include the electronics in order to control the mapper and power source plus a YM2413 soundchip with audio output. The game board will feature a memory of 4Mbit (512KB).
The project is still on going so if you have any suggestion now is your chance.
