You only need the BASIC interpreter to load your program (after you converted it by hand into hexadecimal machine code, which is slow and pretty annoying for big programs), but having an assembler will save you a lot of time. You can also check for an MSX Music and a Moonsound cartridge if you wanna get the best sound from 90s Dutch demos too.įor programming, it's an 8-bit computer, so assembly language is the way to go if you want to make interesting stuff.

>anything I should know about MSX going in? Memory upgrades? Best software to start with? I'd like to try my hand at programming in addition to some games.Ĭheck for an MSX Music cartridge, many games and demos uses it for sound, some producing really nice tunes with it (Some examples : ). I also programmed 29F/C flash ROMs via modified NES carts. Ironically the first practical and working devices that I designed and built for the parallel port just did that but with NES and SNES cartridges. >I really need a ROM reader/programmer so I can dump this font.

I'm not sure but I think that I read in the specs that USB3.0 is about 13.7µS long. USB1.1 dataframes are 1ms long and USB2.0 are 125µS long but a IN or OUT instruction on real and modern (SPP) parallel port takes about 1.37µS. Really? You can set every control pin and read every status pin individually?īut there's no way that this can be fast as the real thing. >Linux will let you on almost all parallel port devices, including most USB ones.
