This project is an open source implementation of an MSX2 compatible computer. The project is built using a combination of 1980’s era components – Z80 CPU, V9958 VDP, AY-3-8910/YM2149F PSG, 8255 PPI, 7400-series logic, and some newer components, such as 512 KiB SRAM and 512 KiB Flash ROM and a few simple programmable logic devices (ATF16V8B SPLDs).

The Omega MSX is a MSX2 or MSX2+ (depending on the VDP chip selected) that does not use a MSX-Engine. It has a classic 8255 PPI and all other chips are common ones, still available for buying them. The CPU is a Zilog Z80 (Z84C0020PEC).
