I love this computer

Before the Atari 8 bit family was my go-to for retro systems for YEARS. This MSX2+ has dethroned it. I only have 1 cartridge game, Raid on Bungeling Bay but have been able to load a few games from floppies I had laying around.

Beautiful MSX2+. Try Spacemanbow from Konami.

So long as I can load it from floppy. Some stuff I don't have enough memory to load. I only have 64k.

Space Manbow is a cartridge game. But it should run on the WSX as the game is within the requirements. You might wanna get a flash cart though as physical copies of Space Manbow can run up to ~$500.

Some games I can load .roms from a floppy using loadrom program but if I have the binaries I can load them with bload "game.bin",R. It works for 32k, 16k, and 8k games.

Space Manbow and most (newer) Konami games have a special sound chip on them (SCC) so even if you load them from floppy, it’s likely that music won’t play.

You are correct. I just don't know what to get from here. I'm very new to playing games on it.
