Buy an MSX2+ and 4Mb of RAM! This is simple. I'm not rich, but I bought one!

I have a lot of games on my MSX. On my harddisk. And all of them run BETTER
than on every MSX. The only reason for me use an emulator is:
BrMSX: Debugging and Screen Shots
fMSX and CJS: Screen Shots.

I can play my MSX on a GOOD RGB 14" monitor, or on my 37" television.

Ofcourse. For me, this is the only great reason for an emulator.

There is no really need for this... Only on debugging process.

OHHHHHH! And?

Well... This is a good reason.

On PC too, but PC joystick sucks... (-:

This is bad, because we cannot debug everything yet.
>-FM-PAC sounds better on my MSX then in any emulator
And never will be the same... Unless you connect an OPLL
on your PC. The same for MSX Audio (OPL2). For MoonSound
a SBAWE32 or 64 will be enough.
>-Our own FDD#2 doesn't work on ANY emulator !
Simple programs made with HitechC compiler for MSX sometimes
will not work on any emulator. This is BAD. I think BrMSX will run them
in a near future.
But I think an stupid basic emulator is not a reason to send an
e-mail to the list.
A new version of a good emulator with a good debugger maybe.
