Yamaha V9958, MSX2+ VDP, tested.

Yamaha V9958 — MSX2+ Video Display Processor
In the late days of the MSX battlefield, visuals became strategy.
The Yamaha V9958 is the heart of the MSX2+ graphical system — a precision-engineered Video Display Processor designed to push the platform beyond its limits. More colors. More resolution. More control. This was not an upgrade by chance, but a calculated evolution.
With support for high-resolution bitmap modes, enhanced color depth, and hardware-assisted scrolling, the V9958 delivers smooth, stable visuals even under heavy graphical load. From detailed environments to fast-moving action, every frame is rendered with discipline and intent.
This chip was built for developers who demanded reliability, and for systems that could not afford failure. No unnecessary complexity. No wasted cycles. Just raw graphical capability, executed cleanly.
Whether you are restoring original hardware, building a modern MSX2+ system, or pushing retro software to its tactical limits, the V9958 remains the definitive visual core.
Mission-critical graphics.
No compromises.
