Official MSX3 is impossible until ASCII gives up the copyright.
And as a one user who dreams new generation of MSX... The problem is
only the fund. I want to give a serious question.
"If I make new MSX, will you buy one?"
For this question, someones say, "If it is fully compatible to MSX1,2,2+
and TR ...". Others say, "If it has very high performance...", etc, etc.
Of course, I know there are still many users who want new MSX regardless
to the condition. But not enough... If one million MSX users promise
that they will buy one, I can make new MSX until this year... why not?
Yeh.. it's a joke. But very serious...

Just use PC.

Yes, I also want a public discussion. And these are just my opinions.
1. NEW MSX WILL BE! : many hardare freaks try to make new hardwares.
Look at MoonSound, GFX9000, Mega-SCSI, new RS232Cs, keyboard interfaces,
ESE-VDP system, Goblin, 32 expansion slots, .. etc. etc. They devote
their time, money and efforts to the MSX-related hardware developement.
I really thank to them.
2. extension of emulator is non-sense: it is better to make PC games,
utilities directly without "great real-time software conversion system"
Greetings,
