The core works well, but the way it works with VHD transforms the experience into something close to an emulator than a recreation. IMHO

Does anyone know the core's plans for the future?

Thanks.

You can always go back and use the 2nd SD card if the vhd is to modern for you.

I have heard that and put a few files there, but there is no floppy drive options in the OSD. Do we need to grab an older release of the core as well?

I'm not talking about modernity, I'm talking about using my own dumps from cassette or Disk as same on Spectrum, Amstrad or C64 cores.

What sense has using a system in a way that has not been conceived?

Remember the core comes from OneChipMSX which was kind of it's own new take on MSX. So yes, it never got floppy emulation or anything like that.

The MSX core is based from 1Chip MSX FPGA device.

Regarding the wiki page we don't have cassette or disk.

The cassette and disk are emulated with some tools like sofarun, etc ...

I have a real MSX2 with MEGASCC+ card, and his use is same than Mister MSX FPGA, simply VHD file contains what is present (on real MSX) inside microsd

It would be awesome to have tape/disk emulation.

Yes, tapes ruled in 80's UK. Unless you were posh and had a BBC Micro
