Here is a resume of the last week of MSX News...
August 14, 1999
- Downloads Page Updated! Now there is two new sections:
MSX1 Games
Magazines
On the MSX1 Games were added "Satan 1 & 2" and "Power Drift". On the Magazines were
added MSX OnLine Magazine from #13 to #17.
- It's lack of interest or something else?! It's sad to me, but no one entered the
page about how to
link this page using this () button. I'm just asking for help. If MSX-ers cannot
work
together, so there is no need for MSX3 standard, Phoenix or anything! If
everything that
interest for MSX-ers is downloading comercial games and programs, "Houston, we
have a
problem, and MSX will die sooner than I expected".
- FreeMSX 1.0b for MacIntosh! It was released on MEP (link). It's a Japanese
emulator, and
maybe you'll find some diffuculties on configuring it.
August 13, 1999
- Salamander Manual in HTML! Jordi Segura had typed the manual. There is no scans
yet, but
it's very insteresting.
- XSW MSX Page updated! They had added new screen shots of NV and added the Hamiide
- High Manga Club page (a game distributed in Europe).
- New MSX Emulator called WOOM! You can get all information about this new
emulator on

August 12, 1999
- BMC is now official distributor of Future Disk! Ricardo Jurczyk Pinheiro (link)
just informed
me that now BMC (Brazilian MSX Crew) is officialy selling Future Disk and will
fight a lot
against those that make pirate copies of this software. Thanks to Ricardo Jurczyk
Pinheiro for
the information.
- No Payment? I received the information that the reason that makes Tempest
release Bebop
- Bout for free was that Sunrise did not paid him the money. I would like to hear
the other side
of the history... If Sunrise or even Tempest would like to explain us what
happened, we will be
glad to publish it.
- Fudeba MSX Homepage Updated! I made more cosmetic changes on strategic places.
There is
now a link button. Click on it to see how to add a button link to this page. If
you have any
suggestion, please, drop me an e-mail.

oreder it to ICM or MiriSoft.
- Files List of D-MSX! The D-MSX Page was updated. Now there is a list of the
files on-line. See
it at D-MSX (Link).
- OOOPS! MSIX is 100% pure FAKE! The program in QuickBasic previously reported as a
- MSX Emulator isn't one. See more on MEP (Link).

- MSX Everyday is not working yet! Anyone knows when it will be OnLine? On the
page says

- Some files are OnLine again on D-MSX! The files from 0 to A are OnLine again.

- Thanks to Leonard Oliveira for the "Be Bop Bout" name correction! (-;
- Paragon Productions is Closed...It's sad, but I have to inform you all. Paragon
Produtions is
now out of MSX business. The makers of BomberMan, RickDangerous and DOME won't make
more MSX Games. The worst part is that DOME will never be finished. You can see
the whole
history on Paragon's HomePage. Please, send an e-mail to Antal can Kalleveen
asking he to
continue with MSX and his projects!
- The MSX Phoenix Project Page Updated! The page is far from complete, but its
body is
already defined. You can visit it using the link. The MSX Phoenix Project is the
project trying
to create the new MSX3 standard
- Be Bop Bout now available on MSX Emulator Page Software->MSX2 Section. This is
the
english version. For the Japanese (there is the english there, too) look at the
BeBop's author
page.

August 07, 1999
- Be Bop Bout Now FREE! Yes. This is truth. By some reason that I don't know,
Tempest
released a free version of the software. Maybe some disagree with Sunrise... If
anyone knows
