Dear MSX fans,

For a while now, I've been considering doing a website like Spectrum
2.0 (http://spectrum20.org/) for MSX games.
If people are actually interested, I'd love to start working on such a project.

2009/9/23 Benoît Delvaux mars2...@skynet.be:
 As you have noticed it, Passion MSX is down and I really don't know what
 will
 happen in the next days. One thing is sure : the MSX community can't remain
 without at least independant news.

 That's why I decided to relaunch MSX blue with a new design under WordPress.
 So,
 the MSX fans will be able to find on this site news, reviews and Goodies !

My interest in this project lies in actually developing it. The reason
I'm not doing this project without notifying anyone, is because I'm
not likely to be a very good contributor to the database (my MSX

I've been successful at formatting the floppies using fmsx-dos, copying

Subject: Re: MSX Mailinglist in het Nederlands (Int: Re: MSX Mailinglist in
Dutchh)


 A bit late, but my two cents...

  Well, it seems there are quite enough people subscribed to this mailing
  list to translate a posting now and then, though it should NOT become a
  habbit of posting only dutch messages. Most dutch people on the Internet
do
  have enough knowledge of the english language to be able to read (and
  write) any sort of messages.

 There are a lot of people who cannot speak or even read English very well.
For
 example Rinus Stoker, a very prominent figure in the Dutch MSX 'world',
and the
 local clubs also probably have got lots of members who can't. If they can
 communicate between eachother, in an easy way, I think that's great. The
Dutch
 magazines can put small advertisements in their magazines to notify the
people
 of it. With some effort, you can let quite an amount of people subscribe
to that
 list I think. And it will boost the MSX activities of the people
subscribed. I
 know this list is highly responsible for keeping me alive in the MSX
scene,
 without it I would have been bored with MSX ages ago.

 So if someone wants to do this, I greatly encourage it.
 However, effort has to be made. The Dutch MSX users, especially those of
the
 local MSX clubs, have to be contacted through channels like the magazines
and
 the club organizations, and that should happen in a way interesting enough
so
 that people decide to check it out.


  I find this question quite suitable now, sinc this kind of thing is
quite
  repetitious: Why are Dutch people so persistant in needing anything in
  Dutch-only? I never read Saku wanting a Finnish MSX Mailinglist or
anybody
  else out of the Netherlands wanting an MSX Mailinglist in their own
language.

 In contrary, I actually think a lot of Dutch people are way too fast in
speaking
 English. I have seen several situations where someone can speak English
well,
 but he/she can also understand a little Dutch. Dutch people in general
 immediately switch to English if it is not understood right right away.
It's
 also seen on TV. If someone from Germany is speaking in a congress or so,
he/she
 speaks German, and a translator translates into English. If someone from
France
 is speaking, idem dito. But does our prime minister Kok speak Dutch? No
way.

 So, my point, as I see on this list, almost all Dutch people rather have
an
 English list than a Dutch one. This reflects my expectations of the Dutch
in
 general. I myself also rather use an international mailinglist, but
compared to
 other countries we (the Dutch) are very much English-ized. Take a look at
Spain,
 Brazil, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, even certain parts of America!
However
 you must not forget that there is still a relatively large amount of
people not
 being able to speak, read or write English very well, or who much rather
speak
 Dutch. Therefor I think it is a good idea to create a seperate Dutch
discussion
 forum, like a mailinglist (yahoo groups please :)), and the ones who
prefer to
 write English, and like to reach a larger community, typically the current
Dutch
 members of the MSX Mailinglist, can still post here.

 I really don't think it will decrease MSX discussions on this list. At the
worst
 the other list will die a silent death, and I think special care has to be
taken
 to prevent that, and to give it a good start. As for important news not
reaching
 the international MSX users, I am sure that if any really important
discussions
 are going on, the MSX Mailinglist will be kept up to date by several Dutch
 people.


  BTW... Didn't we have such a discussion over and over?

 Afaik, no.

 If I am not mistaken this poke is for Philips computers. for Sony

 you should use poke -1,255 and for MSx Turbo R computers you should
use -1,0

No one ever said that America's been correct 100% of the time. But though I

There, now you know enough to write a 3-volume set on datacorders ;)

By the way, I heard of people that could make interesting, almost melodic
noises with their tape motor, using a certain MSXBasic command =). Anyone
else know of this?

 It is a tape-recorder, a standard cassette recorder, conected to the MSX
 through the cassette port. It is used as a storage device, saving MSX
 software with speeds of 1200 or 2400bps (with the standard internal
 circuit, but I know some people who achieved 4800bps and more).

Re: MSX Fair Bussum

2001-09-12 Thread Akop Karapetyan

As someone who is in America, believe me it scares us even more. Though
perhaps I shouldn't worry that much as L.A. is supposedly fourth most likely
US target... Given that there's been 2 already, guess that means we're
second next on the list :/

 Sander, it seemes that you have WAY too much spare time! Why is anything
for that fair hidden for non MSX.ORG members? It's silly!
 You are hiding MSX whilst you should SCREAM IT OF THE ROOFS that MSX IS
ALIVE!

 Hi! Another update on the MSX Fair Bussum.

 As you may have read in another message, I have created an MSX Fair List
on
 www.msx.org. That's where the MSX Fair Bussum's online registration form
will be
 from now on, and also a list of participants can be found there. If you
have
 registered a stand, check if you are on it. If not, something has gone
wrong,
 then please contact me.

 Also, in the www.msx.org Forum a preliminary programme of the fair can be
found,
 aswell as some more discussion about the fair. Follow this link to get
there:
 http://www.msx.org/index.asp?frame=forum_contents.asp!TopicID=39

 Well, 11 days to go... :)


 Greetings,
 The MSX Fair Bussum organization,

 ~Grauw


 ps. What just happened in America scares me to death...

Re: The American tragedy... [off topic]

2001-09-12 Thread Akop Karapetyan

I personally wonder how someone could let a bunch of losers with plastic
knives and boxcutters on a plane. Also, knowing how weak boxcutters are
(worst they can inflict is a flesh wound), I'm surprised the lot of people
on the plane did nothing to stop the hijacking.
Overall, I agree that there was no way attack on the twin towers could've
been avoided. But allowing the hijacking to occur was just because of plain
stupidity.

Sorry for posting off-topic stuff =)

 The problem is these terrorists have proven that it is possible to strike
 anywhere, anytime.

 Now I'm not exactly pro-america, and even not pro-kapitalism and
 'democracy'. (But lets talk about that later). The people who created
these
 insane plans must never get any power of any kind, and should not be able
to
 strike as hard as this again...

 /me is going to watch some more CNN.

Hey guys,

I just joined the list a short while ago. Could someone tell me where one
can get hold of those weird and wonderful non-midi's that are usually
featured on MSX radio? I've always thought that monty and deathwish 3 had
some of the best music squeezed out of a 1980's computer :)

Thanks,
ak
