Well Agony,
Maybe you can clarify some things.
-There will be a emulator first. So far so good.
But there wasn't any prototype the could show. Do you
know anything about release dates? Is it still ready in one
month? Or is it vaporware a la Microsoft?
You told us that ASCII doesn't want to wait with releasing
a new MSX, ESE or Sega will win based on wich of the
two will come up with something working first.
This news doesn't fit with the anouncement about making
a emulator first.
Suppose the emulator is ready, and we can buy old software online. After
that step, will we get a one chip
msx or a new msx? Help us out here, we are confused.
It seems to me that Nishi told you a different story than
what he lectured at the fair.
The impression we get here is that Nishi doesn't know
what to do.
Can you explain what the timeline will be for this products?
Is your news about the three fase plan still valid? And
how does all this news fit in one clear story?
Let us know.
-Confused
