* Often it seems the cart is not detected, and the MSX will just boot straight to basic.
* Sometimes while in the recovery menu the software will freeze in the middle of something - for instance it should say "Are you sure?" but I just get "Ar" and a frozen computer.
Are these common? Any solutions? I don't have these problems with other carts.
Edit: I left out that _sometimes_ when it is booting only to basic, you can still hold the up arrow and get to recovery. But not always - Just as often this doesn't work. Then after a while it just works again.

I have not seen these issues myself or in the forum. The MFR is a bit more sophisticated than a plain ROM game and I have had issues with e.g. GR8NET on a specific type of machine where it worked fine on most other machines. My first troubleshooting step would be to try it on a different MSX computer, so you know if it is the cart or the MSX causing the issues. Not sure if that is easy to achieve for you.
I have released a new version of recovery menu: RECOVERY V1.14
This version will automatically skip the firmware of some MSX models:
FS-A1
FS-A1F
HB-101
HB-201
HB-F1
HB-F1II
HB-F5
HB-F9S
Hitachi MH-H3
Mitsubishi F120
Mitsubishi ML-G1
This means that MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD will boot into Nextor in those models without holding any key to skip the firmware, or having to remove/disable any IC in the computer.
Install it typing in command line:
OPFXSD RECOVERY.ROM /i34
I'm still new to the MFRSCC+ SD and I'd like to update to the new Nextor so do I just flash the Nextor-2.1.0.MegaFlashSDSCC.2-slots.ROM and that's it? How do I update the Nextor.SYS file? Do I need to? Sorry for the questions.

Probably it will be easier to use "Nextor-2.1.0-beta2.MegaFlashSDSCC.2-slots.Recovery.ROM" and update it from recovery menu.
- Copy to an *EMPTY* SD card the file Nextor-2.1.0-beta2.MegaFlashSDSCC.2-slots.Recovery.ROM
- Enter recovery mode (holding cursor up while booting)
- Select F4 option
The recovery process should take a few seconds

In case you are using the ROM Disk. An easy way is to copy all files from A: (ROM Disk) to B: (SD card), and then update the files you need (i.e.: NEXTOR.SYS). Now create a dummy file named NEXTOR.DAT (i.e.: an empty text file) on your card.
From now on, the cartridge will boot from your card.
