Somehow I think, that maybe I'm only one, but I really don't like a
picture of future, where everybody is only looking pictures about funny
looking MSX computers in PC screen and trying emulators and laugh.
I think, that it is as pity as a picture of future, where grass, trees,
birds and all nature is only awailabble in virtual reality.
I know, that there are people, that are using emulators to make software
for MSX, and emulator users, that still buy MSX software (Ok, they are
MSX users for me), but there is plenty of more emulator users, that do not
do anything else, that asks 10 times "How to load .BAS files... I
forgotted" or "I downloaded SD-snatcher, but I can't get it to work. Can
somebody help me ?"
Emulators have also made a plenty of new MSX file standards, that are not
very usefull for real users. Like .ROM/.CAS/.TAP/.IMG (Yes I know,
that there are quite a good loaders now for most of them.) I think, that
it would be much easyer for MSX users, if all of these games would be just
packed and cracked files. Not so much questions and answers and only a bit
more work.
Anyway... I don't have anything more against emulators, but I'm not ever
going to support them by some special way, because that is not my job. (I
almoust died, when I saw a message "press F10 to exit to MS-Dos" I don't
remember where) If I think, that makeing a copy protection will help me to
sell some games for MSX users, then I make copy protection. (Anyway... I
don't)
So what did we learn ??? ......... nothing !
