Re: Illusion City debugging process...
Hey... While debugging Illusion City (I'm starting to get the hang of it!) I bumped into some problems... They are not very critical (I can go on without knowing about them) but still I'd like to know some answers: If you're debugging Illusion City, won't you by chance be able to convert all the game's Japanese texts into some tekstfile or something ? And would you be able to convert English texts back into the game ? Not that I have English texts at the moment, but I'm only asking if you're ABLE to. Might be worth considering translating 'Gen'ei Toshi'. Bye Rieks __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Illusion City on MSX2 machines
Hey I wonder everybody is talking about Illusion City for MSX2 machines but even when it's running on a MSX2 machine lots of us still can't understand what it's about, So my question is: Is it going to be translated aswel or is it going to be just an msx2 version Hahahaha... You just wouldn't think being able to play Illusion City on your MSX2 is enough ? But hey, ofcourse everyone knows that it would be quite a good thing to translate the game. Ofcourse I'm willing to give it a shot, but I need someone who is able to implement the English texts, preferrably by some kind of editor. And even if there is someone able to do this, the language of Illusion City is said to be quite difficult, as the setting of the story is Hong Kong and there are some Chinese things included, too... Even if you don't understand a word of Japanese, Illusion City remains to be a great game. Bye Rieks __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: [EmuSucking] I was right!
Please let me comment on this: For the rest: - I have over 1600 MSX games on my PC. I never have to search ythrough piles of disks. They are all in my start-menu. Ever tried a harddisk on MSX? I have 1GB of diskspace on my MSX... I can only dream to have it ever filled! I play all Konami's and most megaROMs from harddisk... Quite great actually! - I can play on a very good 17" monitor Is not something that can NOT be done with MSX, but I admit: it's quite impossible to get an RGB monitor bigger that 13". I know someone with 21" RGB monitors though... (BUdt he won't sell them...) - debugging is really very easy using an emulator Do you still program then? And with an emulator you're never sure if your program fucks up, or the emulator fucks up. - You can let your emulator run on an incredible speed True, if your PC is fast enough. 7MHz on MSX helps though. (Ok, not as much as an emulator on a Sparc HPC-1) - BrMSX displays MSX games with over 3 colurs. What's the use? MSX2 doesn't HAVE more than about 1750 colours (with Interlacing tricks) - Deskspace... Not everyone has room for 2 computers... Ok. Good one. But, on the other hand: -On my real MSX, I can use my Arcade Turbo Joystick Wow! ;-) -THere are still lotsa programs that don't work on an emulator -FM-PAC sounds better on my MSX then in any emulator And what about MSX Audio? Moonsound? -Our own FDD#2 doesn't work on ANY emulator ! Heheheh... What about Almost Real? Unknow Reality? Etcetera? So.. There is something to be said for both options :-) I am really happy with my emulator, but I would never want to miss my real MSX. And if anyone has got a memmory mapper they want to sell (pref 512kb), just mail me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why don't you ask Hans Oranje to build in 1 MB of SIMM memory in your MSX? I don't mind talking about emu's by the way, since it can disclose many nice features of MSX, and generate nice info. Which can be used by MSX developers then, ofcourse...

Re: [EmuSucking] I was right!
Yep.. But then again: Who is going to do that, converting all those files. I don't know how to do that, so someone else muist do that. And by the time he has finished all those programms, who says his real MSX is still working. Most software will work, since MSX DOS 2 is CP/M compatible... and running MAP might help ofcourse. And again: Buying a SCSI interface for your MSX and a SCSI HD that will fit all these programs is again quite a bit expensive... Not at all: interface: about 100 NLG. Harddisk (few hunderd MB): 100 NLG MAX! Sure... But some people in this house like to watch tv while I am using my MSX :-) Ja hey. Is that so ? I have a P200MMX and if I put BrMSX at full speed, it runs about 7 or 8 times the speed of a real MSX... Ok, BrMSX IS speedy. But then again... It's not finished yet for MSX2 and up. Then I would have to buy an GFX9000. Adter buying that 4 meg's of mem, a SCSI interface, a SCSI HD, upgrading to MSX2+... I think it's a lot cheaper to buy a PC!!! It isn't. Unless you buy a Pentium 120 for 300/400 NLG... And then you don't have perfect MSX2+ yet. BTW: Sorry I'm not reading all the reply's first! ;-) Grtjs, Manuel ((m)ICQ UIN 41947405) PS: MSX 4 EVER!

Re: MSX Fair Bussum programme
I am composing the programme for the MSX Fair Bussum and the MSX Marathon and I might need a little help, I can definately use suggestions. - Music / Drawing competition. Should we give the composers priority access to the PCs, so they can rip samples from MOD-CDs or sample new ones etc??? Who will be the jury??? A few selected ones or all people available? - What pc's? There are some (actually 6) PC's available from which you can browse the internet etc. Problems with that??? I think it's very useful, to show off your homepage, look up the docs you need, have a chat with people from Brazil, Spain and Japan and give live reports of the fair... Also, you can convert files from one format to the other, make some small gfx (drawing a nice title is very easy with PC-programs, just find a nice font, type your text and convert it to MSX)... - Composers should bring their own kit if they need more than an MSX. But not all people can bring an MSX and a PC. For some people the MSX will be a problem (because they come by train, for instance). - You need to introduce a voting system (a voting floppy e.g.) so all people present can vote. How about restrictions on hardware needed for music? One big competition or seperate moonsound/fmpac+musicmodule? Moonsound sampleram size? I'd like to use 640kb. I think you should work with what you've got. I mean: I don't think the use of 640k instead of 128k really makes a difference. The 128k-composer has to be more inventive. And at the other hand, 640k tempts to use it fully, which could result in overkill. I think it's fair to use your own configuration. And if you want more SampleRAM: you can buy it on location!!! About FMpac/MusicModule: 1. I think they are still quite good, and 2. Almost all composers have a MoonSound. But we could give some bonuspoints to people using an old soundchip... Though SCC Blaffer can produce nice musics I bet. You need to put competition rules and timetables on a website!! Ofcourse, that's what I'm working on right now. - Demo programming competition. Should the programmers be allowed to use parts of previously coded routines (a fade-routine for example)? Ofcourse, why not. You better forget about this one. There's no way to implement this. Ok. - Demo hardware? MSX2? RAM? Gfx9000? Moonsound? Should we make some kind of central database which the programmers can consult??? Ofcourse not, why? Well for the people who forgot some docs... It isn't that difficult, just put some application manuals on a central table. But at the other hand, if you are looking for docs, you can as well ask the programmer next to you, eh? Will the programmers be allowed to program parts at home? I think not, but then: how to check it? I hope I can trust you all!!! How do you think a coder can code a whole demo (incl. music/gfx) in one day? At other events like this people prepare their stuff MONTHS before d-day. Well that's the case with megademo's. But I think that's the challenge: program some cool demo in 24 hours. But maybe I'm wrong... Anyways, it wouldn't be fair if one prepares a complete megademo at home and another starts at the marathon. We definately have to set a rule for this... And also here: who will be the jury??? All. I think too. Also, if you go to the Marathon: BRING YOUR COMPUTER!!! duh Does duh mean "okay" or "forget it"???

Several groups and users can show off new products (software AND hardware), products in development or special things like a system configuration or so.

Where is the border between re-using code and using a part programmed at home? But like Tristan said, demo programming takes a lot of time, too long to be done on a fair. Maybe a small coding contest can be held, for example "code this functionality in as little bytes as possible". Or maybe an attempt can be made to make a single demo with contributions from marathon visitors. I think it would be a good idea to have a place dedicated to JoyNet.
