Ouch! He really chose the hard way to deal with the keyboard there.

That kit he bought is almost certainly using an MCU to scan the pseudo-keyboard. Just using an MCU to directly scan the MSX keyboard would save all that soldering, and would also allow him to use key combinations to generate codes for keys that aren't on the MSX keyboard, such as F6-F12.

Woow! For a hardware rookie like me, too hard to achieve. Prefer just a pc with openmsx.

How awful that he destroyed a perfectly working original National CF-2000 for that Could have used at least a broken MSX...

Hum, yeah, agree with Manuel and Accumulator, any new / modern box or keyboard could have done the job :/

Or even easier, a PC without openMSX. :-)

Besides the fact it's a shame for that MSX1 that has been murdered, it's also nonsense.
This way you can turn anything into a modern gaming machine. A C64, dishwasher or shoebox. Whatever...
