The real MSX users do it. They prefer their real MSX than an
emulator. An emulator is just for test, for experimenting, or maybe help
(come on... The BrMSX debugger helps me a lot!).

Many emulators users prefer emulators for comodity. 'Cause they
don't need to build software, there are tons of ROMs anywere; getting a TV
to put in their MSX is very complicated to do; they don't want to spend
their time searching for a 3 1/2 drive ["my pc has one 1.44 here! why
searching for another???"]; they can spend the money of MSX with their PC
["nah! pc is better than msx! pc can run msx emulator! emulator is equal
to real machine! i don't need real machine!"].
That's a common situation here in Brazil.

Yeah, there are these, too. But these guys don't like MSX anymore.
They don't use real MSX. But they don't use emulators too.

That's another problem. Emulator users love getting free ROMs in
the Internet. So they think "Why would I pay for a MSX software if I can
find thousand games for free on Internet?".
