-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Patriek Lesparre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: vrijdag 13 november 1998 21:00 Onderwerp: Emulators, one last say |As I've said, I respect your choice to use an emulator in stead of the real |things, but fact is emulators are currently far inferior to the real thing |and your arguments to prefer it above a real MSX are weak. Don't worry.. I use both (I also have a real MSX here.. Still using it aswell, because just some programs still dont work on an emulator (i.e. SD Snatcher...) And you are 100% right... Most emulators are far from perfect (except BrMSX), but that is the problem for the writers of those emulators... And my arguments are not all that weak... That's a very easy to make statement for you. But at this moment, people can use MSX software, without having to spend about US$ 300,- or something to get all the stuff to be able to play them (MSX 2+, SCC, Joystcik TV, FM-PAC, extra memory, etc..) And I am sorry, but US$ 300,- is quite a strong argument for me. And maybe you and I have the room for two computers, some people don't... ||>Hear Hear.. you are 100% right !!!! | |May I remind you that YOU are the one that started this 'fight' and that |YOU are the one that's replying to every single message with the same |arguments over and over? | I said he was right, because he stated that is doesn't matter if you have a real MSX or an emu.. That it just counts if you are being active within the MSX community... |Maybe I'll use an emulator one day too, if AND ONLY IF emulators have |matured into a real alternative to my turboR and it has broken down. Yep... But then you get back to my initial problem. Some people over here in this group were discussing the idea of creating their programs in such a way, they would not work on any emulator. And that was my problem. Because that will disallow them to use their own programs when their MSX-es break down.... | |Anyway, do feel welcome in the MSX scene. I for one was very happy to see |one of the old-school people be 'active' again! | Thanx.. I just hope you don't mine that I use an emu sometimes instead of my real MSX...
