If it has Mapper, it may not work, since MSX1 BIOS do not set mapper.

MSX2 BIOS will probably look a lot of things that do not even exist on MSX1 (it will read the clock, set VDP palette, etc) >Another case: >I have two different MSX2 models, and if I replace their ROMs with each >other, then do they work? Maybe yes, maybe no. Supose you have a Japanese MSX2 and a European MSX2. If you exchange their roms, at least, the keyboard will start to act weird... because their are probably a lot different if you look at the key matrix.
