Hackaday Project: msx-compatible-boards-for-rc2014
The repo describes a series of boards designed for RC2014, to give MSX+ compatiblity.
The idea is that you can build each board one at a time, test it and play with it under RomWBW - and then once you have the set - load up some MSX/MSX2+ games!
The story of the prototyping and development these boards can be found at the Hackaday Project: msx-compatible-boards-for-rc2014 project page.

This repo contains submodules. So to clone the repo's submodules, you may need to do the following:
git clone --recursive [email protected]:vipoo/yellow-msx-series-for-rc2014.git
If you had already cloned it, without the --recursive switch:
git submodule update --init
If using Windows Subsystem for Linux, make sure you are using the linux file system (not the mnt/c/... ntfs images)
Please note: github submodule configuration assumes you are using ssh to access the repos
If you get a permission denied error when attempting to clone the submodules, it may be due to your github access method. The submodules are referenced using git ssh paths (eg: [email protected]:vipoo/Nextor.git), as such if you attempt to clone these submodules using only https access, you may get a permission denied error.
To setup github access using ssl - follow the instruction on github at: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh)
The design of the boards has borrowed a lot from pre-existing solutions out there, including:
- S100 Computers VDP Project
- The MTXPlus+ Project
- V9958 Video Board for rosco_m68k
- Steckschwein
- The Artemisa Project
- The Omega MSX Kit
- MSX ORG Forums
Standing on the shoulders of giants. Many thanks to all who share their knowledge and passions
