  • General instructions

  • The Basics I found a plan on this website. It's not a bad start but the design misses a few key dimensions - we had to work out a few of them with a bit of maths. Still, it's something. We built the cabinet out of 12mm plywood which is quite strong,...

  • Obtain Retro Soundinator board. Use preferred surface-mount technique to mount all components except sockets, then let cool and solder through-hole components onto board. Add crystal; sound chip is not yet necessary. 
  • Flash firmware

  • To upload the firmware onto the Arduino Nano ESP32 board, simply execute the following command. $ esptool.py --chip esp32s3 write_flash --flash_size detect 0x00 retro-go_1.39-pre-dirty_esplay-s3.img

  • Building information is published online under retro-cpu.run wiki page: http://retro-cpu.run/wiki/index.php?title=MSXPI:Specs:ENFor convenience here are the steps: 1. Download Raspbian image with MSXPi already setup. This image starts up the server...
  • Finding the right system architecture

  • The first step when thinking about designing a single-board (or modular, doesn't matter actually) retro computer system is of course to think about the appropriate operating system. Disconsidering the Intel world, there's basically two options: simple...
  • Audio?

  • Unfortunately, the lacking audio output is the only shortcoming of the otherwise perfect retro display. So I'll need to think about a different solution. On the C64, the Audio/Video connector (among others) provides connections for Video-Out and Audio-Out...
  • Configuration

  • The Retro-Go firmware codebase is configurable. They provide a few ESP32-based development board configuration files. We need to add/modify some of the configurations for Arduino Nano ESP32. In thebaseS3.sdkconfig file, add the following lines....
  • Display and GPIO Controls

  • Let's talk about external display now, because this project apparently has 2 hearts, the second heart is the display. when it comes to displays, we can find a bunch of them, both for HDMI ports and the ribbon cable one. they all work perfectly well but...
  • Commands for MSXPi-DOS (MSX-DOS)

  • It is possible to use MSXPi along with other disk drive interface, such as the MegaFlashRom SD or ATA-IDE. In this case, MSXPi-DOS burned to the MSXPi EPROM is not started, which means, it is not possible to use the MSXPi disk images stored on Pi. However,...
