Microsoft MSX Turbo R (msxturbor)

for Batocera and Retrobat

The MSX Turbo R is the last generation of MSX computers that was put to market by a household electronic brand. Only Panasonic was brave enough to put faith in the standard once again, by releasing two different models: the Panasonic FS-A1ST and the Panasonic FS-A1GT. MSX Turbo R computers were produced until 1994.
New features include: a new PCM sound chip which can produce digitized sound up to 44 KHz (in assembly language) and a new Z80 downward compatible R800 processor. The user can select the CPU (Z80 or R800) by software.

According to Kay Nishi, the R on the MSX Turbo R stands for RISC (Reduced instruction set computing).

There is not a lot of software specific for the MSX Turbo R, although a lot of MSX games can run smoother and/or faster on an MSX Turbo R. As with the MSX2+, some software uses the optional scroll features or higher screens.

The package includes:

42 games (~163 MB)
