R36S MSX2 Games

The 1985 MSX2 revision added a far more capable video chip and more memory, and it is where the standard produced its best-looking work โ€” Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Aleste and the Konami arcade ports.

How well does MSX2 run on the R36S?

Full-speed on all R36 models. Needs MSX2 system ROMs; disk-based titles may require swapping disk images mid-game.

MSX2 on Each R36 Model

The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
