The vga32 board is pretty cool with vga out, ps2 keyboard and mouse, headphone jack, sd card and esp32. It has emulators like vic20, spectrum and altair 8800. So it would be great if someone ported a msx emulator for it please.

Spectrum emulator on vga32 board

The altair 8800 with cp/m is more interesting though, obviously it feels like using msx-dos so its easy to use and comes with a floppy image of programming languages. The compiled binary of some of those languages like turbo pascal I guess can be made to run on a msx as well. Just need to see if there is a way to connect to msx by serial. (Could just get the file from the sd card but that's too tedious)

Nishi's new msx0 is going to be M5stack which is esp32, so if the source code is going to be available, it would work on the vga32!
