Well, for any NEW system, like the new one-chip MSX, the most important thing is to have a long list of strong developers for it. It should be backwards compatible with MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ and perhaps Turbo-R, BUT it must be an evolution and it should have new capabilities. In order to use them, lots of agreements with different software companies should be signed before launching the machine to the market. Remeber the DREAMCAST experience: a suberb machine with no more developers than SEGA and other tiny third parts. A complete disaster!
Kind regards,

At the moment, I have a SCC MegaFlashROM (the one from Pazos and Pérez Abad) and a Sunrise CF IDE with all Konami's stuff, and it works great. You decide which game do you want to play, you upload it selecting the country version, frequency and the 2nd slot combo that you want, and you are ready to play in a few seconds.
And it wasn't really expensive:
SCC MegaFlashROM: 60 euros
Sunrise IDE CF: 75 euros (unsure)
CF card 32 MB: 20 euros (or so)
It's the best toy I have.

Yes, you are right. I would buy it anyway. Imagine: an all-in-one Konami cartridge.
I need two more hours playing King's Valley to recover my soul!

Sometimes I feel like the main character in "Magical Tree": jumping from branch to brach till getting very high or falling to the floor... By the way: I think that this is the only Konami game that I finished by my own (well, also all the sports games but one: Hyper Rally).
(My birthday will shake me the next tuesday: 27 years old, OUCH!)
