Yes, yes, yes - these are up my alley. I've had a fun Sunday with MSX and hav ea couple emulation rigs STARTED. :P I find that a Raspberry Pi (with newer, optimized .xml's) is good for emulating MSX2.5 and am working on a suitable, temporary system to get me up to speed on the 'OS' and using software/hardware combinations... theres many mappers and sound cards to learn and decide on end desires.

The Omega is... OMG - This is 110% up my alley. While the MSXVR is also really tempting, to have real hardware... in this case that I build myself - is where I prefer to land! The Omega, man - what a great design. I'm blown away by it. I tried to get into the GR8BIT... while the GR8NET looks polished and well-explained, I couldn't really 'get' the GR8BIT project. Yes, theres some language barriers - but Eugeny is a really cool person and I wish I... clicked with his GR8BIT project a little more. Its messy and seems overly complicated - and I bet his... I bet theres more there than I am easily seeing. Like does the GR8BIT do MORE than simple MSX hardware? Ahhhh - anyway, I think the Omega is clean, crisp, ready and AWESOME. 

I'll let ya'll know as I get into this - I'll be learning on emulation in the currrent... and either getting an MSXVR or building an Omega. The former makes me smile just a bit more, so... 

Thanks for ALL The info this weekend, you two. It was so beneficial to have all your infos without having to hunt them all down myself. I found on my own some of the newer (2004+) software for MSX... and wow; Revelo's Snowboarding and Triton are all really impressive. Space Manbow & Aleste show me they were putting it down back in the day, too... I'm MSX pumped. :P
