| That is the reason that we need new MSX. My MSX will be broken someday.
|Now is the time to make new one. Then I'll be happy even though my MSX
|would be broken because I can possess new MSX again.
here we go with that new MSX again. The idea is very nice ofcourse, Can you
tell me what the diference is between a "new" msx computer, or an emulator.
Okay.. I don't have a moonsound on my emulator, but on my real MSX (which I
also have) I don't have one either.
| You are right. Almost all MSX emulator users had MSXs. When they met
|the emulator, they was very happy because they could use great MSX
softwares.
|And ... it's all. It's end. They just tried to run softwares once and then
|never tried after.
|
| That situation is ok. I don't care whether they use emulators or not.
|But the important point is that the number of real MSX usres decreases
|due to the emulator. A lot of real MSX users putted their MSXs into
somewhere
|untouchable-place because they could run some MSX softwares on PC.
|They do not use real MSX anymore and they do not use even the emulator now.
|I don't know exactly the situation in other countries. But I'm quite sure
|that many MSX users have left MSX scene due to the emulators.
Also not true. If someone was developing something on his MSX< he will not
stop as soon as he gets an emulator ? WHy should he ? Do you think that an
assembler doesn't run on an emulator ? If someone stops developing, it's not
because he started to use an emulator. he would have stopped developping it
anyway !
And about leaving the MSX-scene, I'll tell you something different: When I
look at the e-mails I get via my site, there are a lot of people discovering
the MSX again. For years they haven't used an MSX, untill they ran into an
emulator. Just take a look at me. A year ago, I didn't have a MSX or an
emulator. Just by accident I ran into an emulator, and since then, I also
bought a real MSX. But I rahter use the emulator, because it's faster and
easier. It also save a lot of deskspace !
| Well, I think you are a very GOOD MSX emulator user. I've never seen
|a guy who buy softwares for MSX emulator. However, I don't consider
|making such a copy-protection in my softwares.
No, you haven't, but I have seen one or two discussions about people that
were going to do that, and I think that's quite stupid. Becuase maybe when
they are 10 years older, they still ant to play there games or see their
demos, but they will not be able to, because they don't run on any emulator
due to their copy-protection. And by that time, their MSX will be broken.
Please keep in mind that computers don't have unlimited lives !
