It is a mechanical keyboard that uses Cherry-MX compatible switches. You can choose between blue version (clicky sound) or brown version (softer click).

By default, the standard version uses a GRAY/BLACK colour scheme.

The standard version only allows you to choose between the UK-English and Spanish layout, depending on whether you want the Spanish or English version (selector language )

VIRTUAL MACHINES

Within the software that comes with the computer, there is a package of virtual machines with which the computer can operate both real hardware and files in the form of ROMs, DSKs, CAS, TSX, WAV, etc.

During all these years, efforts have been applied to the entire family of MSX machines (MSX1, 2, 2+ and TurboR), creating a hybrid system of emulation and access to real-time hardware which we have called VIRTUALIZATION.

Poco a poco hemos ido agregando nuevas máquinas virtuales como: ZX Spectrum, CPC, C64, ColecoVision, Sega SG-1000, Sega SC-3000, Sega Master System y Sega Game Gear. Nuestra intención es seguir ampliando el número de máquinas disponibles al tiempo que mejoramos la compatibilidad y prestaciones de las existentes.

EXAMPLES OF CONNECTIVITY

Things you can connect to your MSXVR:

  • ATARI standard DB9 controls. Your MSX controls will work.
  • USB or wireless controllers and play your favorite games.
  • A USB or wireless mouse.
  • Another USB or wireless keyboard.
  • A USB key to store your ROMS or personal data. The system will detect it and mount it in the system as A :, B: or the letter available at that time.
  • A keyboard or MIDI device.
  • A USB floppy disk drive.
  • And in general, a large number of USB devices.

APPLICATIONS

Along with the computer is delivered an entire application system that will allow you to play, design, program and learn. This system is upgradeable online, connecting either via ethernet or wifi cable from your MSXVR. The aim is to continue improving the current applications and gradually introduce more new features.
