Yes, the usb gamereader. I got on the sunrise website so i know it cost €75 and doesnt run all msx cartriges, i just want to know what it does or doesnt run and if you would recomend it. I have to say it looks awsome and i do want one i am just seeing what othet members of this site think about it.

Is there any technical documentation on this device? A programmers
manual maybe?

and this is the site you should be on: http://www.sunriseformsx.nl/
Maybe you figured already that you were at the wrong place after seeing "-The active treatment of this web page was stopped-"

And to answer your question: no there is no technical documentation, neither is there a driver for Windows Vista or Windows 7

about a recomendation;
the USB gamereader needs a PC near your MSX for storage
the pc "loads" the rom into the gamereader and then the MSX can load from it

if thats what you have and need i guess the gamereader is for you

Personally i would go for a CF interface and a Flashrom;
no PC needed anymore

OeiOeiVogeltje: Isn't the real purpose of the Gamereader to not need an MSX to play your real MSX cartridges on your PC, instead of the other way around?

the way to go is a combination of CF reader and flashrom
