Description
When booting in MSX2+ mode, the flashy boot screen is not shown. Note: fMSX itself also does not do this.
I tried resolving this, and called in some help at https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/emulation/msx2-boot-screen-in-fmsx, but was not able to solve this. (F4 port and Kanji driver ROM done, but not sprite collision detection & timing)
Might not be possible, given the limited emulation accuracy of fMSX. At least not without ending up with a completely revamped emulator ;) Still, if anyone feels up to it, please drop me a line and maybe we can fix this together.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the MSX2+ boot path in fMSX and the existing F4 port and Kanji driver ROM work. Use the linked MSX.org discussion for prior investigation, then determine whether sprite collision detection and timing can be emulated accurately enough for the boot screen to appear.
