Hello,,i know that arduinos and teensy plus other microntrollers can be used as devices with serial or parralel or even usb connectivity.
I have some experiance regarding how to program and write code for it and know about pin management and stuff.
so recently this idea came about making a custom serial or connectino port on cartridge or on joystick port.
My question is wnat route should i try to follow in order to connect my msx to my pc through an arduino?
My msx does not seem to have a serial or parallel port and from what i know i would need a cartridge for that right?
I have a nms 8280 and a vg8235 philips machine at home.
I thought then about the joystick port being accessed through the microocontroller as a port for input for msx and output to the microcontroller.
is there maybe another way to build something like this by utilizing the pins on the cartridge port?like to find the pins and solder wires there and create a new custom serial port or parallel?
My idea is to have something that could be understood not only from terminal programs but also from dos.
The arduino side code seems easy the difficult part seems to be the msx side.
from the msx i understand i would need a terminal program to init the connection through an arduino serial port that would be connected to the joystic port in the first senario or the serial port that i would have to make in a cartridge port right?
Thank you
