Philips VG-8010 MSX First Steps

I'm taking a first look at my Philips VG-8010 MSX computer that I've owned for several years but forgot about until now. // Kindly sponsored by my favorite PCB manufacturer PCBWay! https://www.pcbway.com/

In this video, I make a composite video cable, recap the power supply, build a DIY cartridge and make a little adapter to use common Commodore DE-9 joysticks on the MSX.
