VDP supports 192KB!? Now, this is a bit of an unconventional modification. Frankly, it's a bit of a cheat, but I think it'll deliver decent results. The idea is to increase the turbo R's video RAM by a further 64 kilobytes. With SCREEN12, that means you get a full screen's worth of buffer. Since it reduces the number of times data needs to be read from disk, it can also be applied to animations.
Photo of the MSX Hard Catalog, showing the Sanyo Wavy3 page. "The sight of three cartridges inserted is spectacular Sanyo WAVY3. The WAVY3 is an MSX-standard personal computer released by Sanyo Electric. At first glance, the design itself is quite ordinary for an MSX: a silver-colored, keyboard-integrated body. Looking at the catalog specs, the back seems a bit sparse due to the lack of a printer port, and the 16KB main memory isn't particularly unusual either. However, this machine possesses a unique feature found on no other MSX: three cartridge slots lined up on the top of the unit. It's an MSX computer with three slots! Each of these slots is a primary slot, and each can be expanded up to four slots. If you're so inclined, you can utilize up to 3 × 4 = 12 slots. Moreover, above the cursor keys is a slot select button, allowing you to switch which slot is active. By using this wisely, you can build and switch environments tailored to specific tasks: Slot A for kanji ROM + word processor cartridges, Slot B for memory expansion + music cartridges, Slot C for communication-related cartridges... and so on. This setup promises to deliver the ultimate MSX environment."

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.
