MSX++ emulates an MSX2+ that mostly resembles the FS-A1WSX. You might miss a few features when comparing with that device.
- Centronics printer port
- RenShaTurbo autofire - is present on SM-X/SX-2
- A1 firmware, hardware switch &
_MENUcommand - Cockpit, Word Processor & MSX-JE - 16 or 32KiB SRAM - might only be used by A1 firmware?
- RTC and other settings saved to CMOS - see
RTCSAVE.COMfor an alternative
And for Turbo-R:
- MIDI in/out
- port 0xE9 MIDI out is implemented, and outputs to joystick port2
- but the support is too limited to enable Turbo-R MSX-MIDI.
- microphone
- R800 LED / indicator
- Turbo-R PCM works, but does not run at R800 frequency
Listing all special features the one has, but not the other.
