Hello MSX enthusiasts,
For the third batch of my SFG-05 production I decided to do a pre-order method because I have really no clue how much interest there is in this cartridge.
So.. here it goes. What is this: a production of the open source SFG-05/01 clone as designed by the RBSC. The form factor is standard MSX cartridge, so not intended for replacing a real SFG cart in a CX5M for example. The cartridge has one stereo 3.5 mil jack output, NO Yamaha keyboard connector and NO MIDI in/out ports. It's intended to use with for example Grauw's VGMplay.com, which can play an impressive amount of sound chips on the SFG-05. The audio quality is identical to the original. The ROM contains the bios of both SFG-01 and SFG-05, switchable via jumper.
If you want to listen to a demonstration go here.
This is what it looks like:
About the pre-order process:
If you're interested you can reply to this post but please ALSO send an email to triszon@gmail.com. There is no need to pay in advance. I'll periodically update this thread with the current list of pre orders. The thread will be open for one month, so until June 1st, 2019.
After the pre-order period is closed I will collect payments and order parts and PCBs. I expect to need a maximum of 2 months for production, so expect delivery around August 2019.
The selling price of the cartridges is dependent on the amount of buyers but will be between 75€ and 95€.
Shipping will be 6,50€ inside Netherlands and 13€ for most of the rest of the world.
Ready, set, go!
Cheers
Omega
