Oh! Sad news.
I've enlisted to their webpage to be called if a new batch is made.
Because I don't know if a new one will be made, if there is someone who doesn't use it any more, please contact me.

I'm still looking for one OPL4 compatible. Anyone has it to sell?

I do have a few Wozblasters in a reloaded version to sell. Please send me a message and I can arrange shipping for you. My email is on my profile.

Hi, the current batch is now sold out. Jepmsx will be able to get one... I have a waiting list available at https://theretrohacker.com/wozblaster and more 60 units coming soon, if you want a cartridge, please leave your name over there.

By the way, you can get all the details about the reloaded version, including step by step instructions to build the cartridge on the article I published at https://theretrohacker.com/2022/12/31/blasting-sound-for-you...

All files required to build the cartridge are open source, like everything I do or modify. GitHub repo is https://github.com/cristianoag/wozblaster

I have a video where you can see the cartridge in action (currently only available in Portuguese) here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IqDq9fX7o&t=18s

I'm also looking for one, I'm signing up! I've been asking around for this for a while, and it seems very hard to get hold of.

Are you affiliated with this: http://www.msxcalamar.com/catalog/index.php?id_product=32&co... in some way? Because I told msx calamar that I was interested, but that was two months ago, and I have not heard anything lately. I'm jumping on to wherever I can get this.

No I'm not. I'm just an engineer who loves MSX and managed to get a batch of Yamaha's OPL4 chips. I was looking for just one for me and I got an offer that I couldn't refuse... Those chips are indeed very hard to find those days and not cheap, I'm charging about 30USD per cartridge to build the boards, and ship. All the earnings go back to build new projects like the TRH9000 (open source v9990), uMSX, MSX-USB, and obsonet improvements, the build of the Carnivores to the community, etc

My price is 100USD, cost is around 70. I just want more people using MSX...
