Victor Trucco has created one of the most advanced MSX FPGA available. The first units were shipped to users and ours arrived a few days ago in Europe.
Hardware-wise this OCM clone differs fundamentally from its original model. Although it is able to use KdL's latest firmware as the base firmware, it benefits from a larger FPGA chipset that allows more features in the design. Amazing specifications characterize this FPGA based MSX computer.
HDMI support is a long time wish in the MSX world. Even when the current solution is not supported by every modern TV, Victor is working on an update to get more resolutions working with the SM-X. Digital Audio out via HDMI would provide audiophile users unrestricted possibilities. Also the opportunity to integrate a MIDI interface via the Joystickport is new in the MSX FPGA world. A third cartridge port, a scanline generator, a turbo function plus the usual OCM and Zemmix features elevate this device to the Olympus of the produced MSX devices.
The price is 318 euros, shipping to Europe and Paypal taxes already included. Please contact Victor via Twitter or his homepage to make sure you don't miss the reservation for the second edition.
