I cannot speak for everybody, but I'm absolutely not thinking about a 3D
cartridge for MSX. I was only reacting to MkII who said it would be easy to
make such a thing.

I think it's useless: why program for a device owned by a few people if you
can also program for PSX or PC? Even the GFX9000 never really cought on,
and there are quite some people who have one. OK, it can't do 3D, but the
pattern modes and the large number of sprites allow you to make games very
easily.

MP3 is part of MPEG... Does anyone know if it's part of MPEG1 or MPEG2?

great! It allows any user to make new emulation programs (although DSP
programming is not easy). It would also allow them to release the ESE-DSP
before all the emulation software is written...
