MSX wishlist

[b3rendsh]

Wishlist for the MSX edition:

1. More commands for graphics, sound and joystick
2. High res V9938 graphics mode(s)
3. Fast interslot call to the system rom for access to the MSX BIOS/BASIC routines
4. Access to BASIC internal routines from inline assembler e.g. vdp read/write byte
5. Set correct screen mode and initialize screen (if required) after a program returns to console
6. Kana and symbols or provide user-definable characters
7. Use MSX style function keys specialized for the BBX80 e.g. DIR "A:.*"

8. Faster scroll for LIST command (see bit90 / xbas library)
9. Resolve minor issues with msx-dos file system e.g. default drive in *dir command
10. Read/write in ascii file format

I'm glad to hear that my requests or suggestions seem to have been included.
If it's okay, I would like to make the following suggestion: A command to switch CPUs
In reality, this can be easily achieved by calling the BIOS, so if it would unnecessarily increase the size of BBX80, please reject this proposal.

Thank you!

I would like to add a suggestion.
In console mode, pressing the up arrow key on the cursor should display one or more previous command histories.
I believe this would be quite convenient.

Hello @handomade and others,

In v1.1 there's a new command: *turbo nn (where nn is 00,01,02,80,81 or 82)
There are also a few other additions and improvements, see the readme in the msx folder.
Suggestions are always welcome, depending on the impact I will try to implement them.
