Indeed, compliments for the package. It contained the cartridge in a nice casing, manual, cables and software on both cdrom and diskettes, in a professional DVDbox and with coolish stickers. Very good job!!

I think you know better what the pro's are.
Disadvantage is( and the most likely reason that it will not occur that every Moonsound will have that number of the sram that is not quite suitable for those who have the early serie (say the small print) because people with now having 640 on it ahve first the chips have all to be removed first and you get 4 stapled srams and that doesnot fits normal in a cartridge on that particular place. For series later it is all simply a question of jumpersettings. And since the largest number of Moonsounds are sold with the small print. And even if should consider it, koen probably says no to resolder the moonsounds again. So technically 1MB is the best for an early developed moonsound And 2MB ,although also a bit of work but doable.
But the pricefactor returns most likely for many people

My Moonsound have ¿128kb? of memory... the cheaper Moonsound I think, but works with lot of software except some cool demos from Infinite...

Infinite's stuff uses 512k because Snout's Moonsound has 512k  .. nonetheless I'll use 640k outside challanges.. |

nah... there's still that effect chip, though it would need a redesign on the PCB I guess... |

Oscar it not a question of cheaper Moonsound, the price difference in the past had only to do with the fact if you had a case or not. I donot know where you live but upgrading to 640 seems a logical step for me.
The reason behind all this updgrading are
1. Cheaper
2. To establish games that will use more of the sram

Yesterday I tried to play the games which came with the new Moonsound (PA3 & The Lost World) but both games won't detect the Moonsound as the sound device which has to be used... only MSX-Audio and MSX-Music works...

For TLW I know the memory requirements went up from 128k to 256k. With 128k it would indeed fallback to the others.

PA3 should work with Moonsound just fine... Very strange your copy doesn't.
