AW: Second opinion: ECTS
Hi there, Sure I'll be the first to admit I sometimes get a little overexcited, but come on... How many on this list are commercial game developers? I've only been for a couple of months, and yes I get excited when I get to talk to Konami, Infogrames, SNK, Kemco etc. Maybe you've gotten used to it? I agree with Patriek here. I mean, Konami has had such a major influence in one's life (take me for example: Konami withheld me from good grades at school, no social and sex life, altered view of the world (if you're dead-F5 to continue), etc...), that it can be exiting to actually meet these people. It's like meeting God or JM Jarre (or both in one, in my case). :-) Sorry for making a bit fun here, but I'm in a happy mood (my last week here at KPD!) :-) And besides, I am making fun of myself so no-one can be insulted, except myself (so expect an angry reply from me at this e-mail(?)).

AW: Snes vs Megadrive rectification
Hi there, Yeah too bad the MSX-2 wasn't a bit more like the SNES or MegaDrive. Would have been awesome to do the kind of games those machines had on MSX. Maybe we get the chance with the new Gameboy coming from Nintendo sometime next year. Should be a PERFECT 2D-console! Was the Turbo-R not released around the time the Super Famicom (SNES) and Megadrive were released? I think it was, because then you would have Super, Mega and Turbo computers.

AW: MSX languages 8-)
Hi there, Well here we MUST learn English, French AND German... And don't forget latin and greek (version 1.0, not the new 2.0). Wow dude, I wonder why schools are not same here... Because Spanish is one of the biggest (I believe it's the 2nd or 3rd) languages in the world, though it's a lot underestemated. I think the government in Spain is not much concerned about learning other languages since a large part of the world speaks Spanish. Dutch mentality is much different, since Dutch is not such a big language, we have less people to talk Dutch to. (on the other hand: The Netherlands have more square metres of foreign country. In fact, we have more foreign country than North and South America altogether!! At least, that's my opinion... Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Problems with RuMSX and Sprites
Hi there, Every BASIC-programme with sprites and with the routine ON SPRITE GOSUB causes some trouble. The ON SPRITE GOSUB routine is started no matter if there is really a sprite collision or not. So I lose all my life in these games without any chance to react in the right manner. If I deactivate the option "Check sprite coincidence" the problem does not exit annymore, but now nothing happen if sprites coincide. (To be honest: this is not very surprising because I deactivate this option!) I can't play my games without the ON SPRITE-routine. What you can do is to deactivate the sprite coincidence and when you expect one quickly active it again :-) Sorry :-) Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! MSX PRINT. (fwd)
Hi there, M$ is bad because you can't get much information from it. Even when your a C++ developer and using MSDN with the SDK's and DDK's. It is still difficult to write good programs because M$ uses much undocumented and/or obsolete functions between different OS's. Even the service and help documents suxx, but (allmost) everyone uses M$ so we must develop for it. Not only that, but (as quite an experienced VB programmer (alas)) I have a lot of troubles with M$ DLLs and OCXs (VB components). Whenever there is a new version of VB, there are lots of compatibility problems. VB6 components are not compatible with VB5 components, which implies that if a VB6 program installs its OCXs, an already installed VB5 application won't work anymore. Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Konami Micro@?!*@*?@
Hi there, didn't know about that... but it makes sense... the problem is that games have gotten too damn complicated. no more good old days, even in 2D, so all the friendly, nontechnical gamedesigners have left . i thought it was a wonder that Hideo (MetalGear) did a game for PSX! so he must be one of the survivers.. It's the western attitude. All western games must be 3D, high tech, blah blah blah, while the eastern (Japanese) games are more advanced in gameplay. That's why games as Parappa the Rapper exist. They are more "daring" in terms of gameplay and then it doesn't have to be really visually stunning. All space shooters are still 2D essentially (Gradius Gaiden, Einhander, G-Darius, R-Type Delta (some of them have 3D backdrops)) and not Starcraft 3D blah. Since Hideo made Snatcher on different platforms (including PSX), he has gained some respect for "new" gamers in Japan.

AW: Konami Micro@?!*@*?@
Hi there, And again, let's return to Gradius Gaiden: no 3D, pixelation is noted sometimes, but WHO CARES?? It is the best non-MSX game I ever saw!! A game in which playability has priority over 3D, renders, movies, mega-SFX and all this futile fanfarre of nowadays. True true true!!! Look at R-Type Delta, which is still 2D in it's true form. By the way, if you finish GG and continue playing, when you come again to 8th stage (Formidable Guardians), A NEW BOSS APPEARS after the old ones!!! Yeah, Konami did not disappoint me!! 8-D Question: when will the sound test appear? When you have played 10 hours in total or continually? Castlevania 3D? Oh my god, what a nightmare!!! I still consider Castlevania: Symphony of the Night one of my favourite games (it was my first PSX game :-) ), but a 3D update seems to me like Tomb Raider with a whip and vampires. Nevertheless, the reviews of Castlevania 64 are rather positive. (Note: as a true radical guy I am, I promise to commit public suicide if I see Gradius 3D some day).

AW: Konami and Microsoft
Hi there, Konami, a large video game publisher based in Tokyo, will publish Microsoft's games on systems such as Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation and the Sega Dreamcast, Dow Jones News Service reported Tuesday. Microsoft, meanwhile, will adapt Konami titles for the personal computer. The first titles resulting from the deal will be announced this year. The same happened to FF7, which was adapted by Eidos for the PC, right? And what about the Resident Evil series? I only don't know which Microsoft games there will be to port (a.f.a.i.k. they only made Flight Simulator?). Besides, Konami will have an easy time to convert to Dreamcast, since it's Windows CE based. And doesn't Konami release Gremlin games already in Japan (Actua Soccer)? Funny, my favourite software company joining forces with my personal worst software company (you may consider for yourself which is which :-) ). Hint: Linux rulez. OK, I think it's bad to see a good name such as Konami linked with a dubious company like Microsoft (think Helloween files and the Netscape/IE war). Ed Fries, general manager of the Microsoft games business, said the deal will help Microsoft develop new sources of revenue for the titles already selling on the PC. With other words: make more money and take over a new area of computer entertainment as they did with the Operating Systems and they still try to do with the Internet. Scary... Tim Dunley, vice president of marketing at Konami of America in San Mateo, Calif., said more of his company's games such as the multimillion seller ``Metal Gear Solid'' are aimed at adult audiences, making it more sensible to adapt the titles to the PC, which tends to draw older players. Poy Poy 2 *grin* Both companies also noted that the alliance was a strategy to deal with growing consolidation in the games business. I agree, but I think Konami could have made wiser decision with an other company. I think it's a far more better deal for Microsoft since most modern PC games are too advanced for N64 or PSX (I don't know for DC) and since Microsoft doesn't release games as regularly as Konami does, M$ tends to get more money out of it with doing nothing but porting Konami games. And since the DC and PC games can easily be ported, you can guess there will be a lot of DC games from Konami in the future. Also, and this is much more interesting for M$: if the popular Konami games are available on PC, people won't buy a console but a PC, which means the console market will be made smaller (in extremis!) and the PC market will grow, which means: more profit for M$ and their Windows. And in the end there will be only one system: a PC. Micro$ofts device: "If you can't beat them, join them". Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Hi there, Please don't keep the original music - it's written for SCC+. Where can I buy one??: / Isn't SCC+ the same as SCC but then with channels 4 and 5 seperated in registers? With the normal SCC you have to use the same instrument on channel 4 and 5, which is solved at the SCC+. At least, that is what I know, I have SD Snatcher, which uses the same SCC+.

Hi there, To see BCF in action, visit www.koert.com, where you can find some films from Koert van Mensvoort. One which was hilarious is the one called "Amateurs", where all 3 BCF members participate.

Hi there, I want to arrange the whole soundtrack maybe with some other composers. We could make Moonsound versions of the music. I have made a Moonblaster version of the 2nd Intro song (the one with the guitars), maybe that helps? Or maybe it's wise to keep the original music. It helps to set the atmosphere. Snatcher without SCC? H, I don't know. I would say: keep the SCC. Don't alter too much of the game. Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Hi there, Why convert it first from pc to MSX? It is a MSX game, so we make it on MSX. Just hack the pictures out of the game and make it a .GE5 file or something we can usu in DD Graph or graphsaurus. That's the easiest way I think. BMP or GIF files can't be used on MSX directely, so we cannot use them. I believe Snatcher was made in Screen 7, but I could be wrong about that... Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: msx-ers
Hi there, By the way, my story about FAC SoundtrackerI dare to say that the FAC is responsible for the fact that we are still here today in this mailinglist and in the MSX Newsgroup. You are right about that. They not only "rediscovered" the Music Module, but also did something else: the use of FM Pac. The FM Pac (or the MSX Music in particular) was very popular and there was no program to use it, exept the FM Basic and a terrible program from MSX Engine (was it called Music Composer??). When FAC released Soundtracker they made a very wise decision to include MSX Music. Music making was accessible, and not only for MSX Audio. The hype continued with Moonblaster, but not as big as Soundtracker. Sorry to hear that :) Speaking of Moonblaster... Are there any archives with MB musics? *sigh* I've just moved and found my original SD Snatcher between the stacks of boxes... Great... I think I'm going to play it again. Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Hi there, Eh, I didn't know the storyline of Dragon Slayer 6 (I still don't know by the way), but the graphics and music did somehow not feel right. But, you did know what you must do when you are stuck (common sticking points). I don't know. I got the feeling something was terribly wrong. The music was nice, but not really that good as the MSX music. Speaking of Falcom: whatever happened to them? Do they still make things? I have the same with Aleste. When you play Super Aleste on the SNES I get almost impotent while the MSX versions give me a HUGE erection (as a matter of speaking). I know the feeling... :-) Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Hi there, Well, I finished Gradius gaiden (it's VERY difficult indeed) but the end demo is very weak. Very bad drawings and effects that were also possible on MSX. Thanks, you spoiled it :) You see a fortress explode, but the explosion is done just by color changes. In what level are you? I am in the last level and I fought against that ED21 (Robocob)-ish robot, but it's quite difficult. In what mode did you play it? I think Very hard will indeed be... ehm... very hard... (!) Oh yeah. When you play 10 hours without pausing you get a music mode. Wow!!! I didn't know that. Thank you! But will that be perminent then (when you save it)? Because I like the music very much.

Hi there, Speaking of publications There was also this Martin laukner dude who sent in one of those Moonblaster songs to Radio 538 (or was it veronica?), and it actually got played among other 'proffessional' clubmixes. I won an Atari ST 1040ST with my Soundtracker composition "Joep uit Tilburg" with samples from the Stone and Bone show's famous dude Joep van Galen, from Tilburg. Made it for the Tilburg Fair (in '88 or '89... dunno). After that, I send it to my cartoon magazine (George and Jimmy) and I won an Atari with it. Which is just an MSX but with a 68000 processor (the sound was EXACTLY the same as PSG and the resolution was Screen 7). Maybe I will send it to the box of half 2... :) Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Nostalgia...
Hi there, That's true. MSX games indeed have a certain "magic". I played Dragon Slayer 6 and XAK on the SNES, but it just isn't the same. Maybe it's the music or maybe it is the graphics. But a fact is that MSX games are best on a real MSX. I have the same with MSX emulators. That's also not the same as the real thing. I don't know why. I just feel that way. Maybe that's what they call nostalgia? I agree with you that certain games will be better on an MSX than on other systems. I still get the creeps when I play Metal Gear 2 when guards see mee (I did when Metal Gear (3) Solid was announced, in fact it is the reason I bought a PSX (that and Konami MSX Antiques vol 1, 2 and 3 )). I think it has something to do with playing a game for the first time. If you play it for the second time (and on an other system), you know the storyline already and you pay attention to other things. Just like a remake of an old movie or something. I played Castlevania on the PSX (my first PSX game, because of the audio CD) and that had that "feeling" again. And later, Metal Gear Solid. It is the true sequal to MG2-Solid Snake.

AW: Your typical MSX history hardware setup
Hi there, Tell me about your history. Nice subject, this, btw. I have some spare time, so I will now write about myself (yawn). Despite of being born in 1974, my first encounter with a computer must be somewhere in 1982 or '83, when my cousin had a ZX Spectrum. I really liked Scuba Diving on that. Later, I met Arnold Oudshoorn (ex-Moonsoft in spe) who showed me some great games like Antartic Adventure and Yie Ar Kung Fu. I was impressed and wanted an MSX. It was not until 1987 that my brother decided to buy a VG8235 MSX2 computer (single sided discdrive). In between those days, I worked with Apple IIe computers at school. Very ancient... I still remember the moment the computer arrived: it was very cold, my hands were frozen and I wanted to use the computer rightaway, but I couldn't because my hands were frozen. Anyway, it wouldn't last long until I had my own MSX, a Sony HP700D with German keyboard (qwertz, in stead of qwerty), some people might have seen this computer run at fairs, it was the computer with the Return key missing. Together with this computer, I got Usas. I recontacted Arnold (who was busy in the demo-scene with Remco Schrijvers under the name of Moonsoft). He showed me some SCC demos and games and I was flabbergasted... Really impressed... like... wow! this is music! I wanted my own SCC cardridge and I traded Usas against Nemesis 3, which was brand new around that time. A friend of ours, Bert, well known for the SCSI interface, build in a connector so I could turn off the Nemesis 3 "boot" and use the SCC for other applications... (illegal copies?? ehm... no :-) ). Later, Bert build in MSX2+ and repaired my computer several times. When the FM Pac was introduced in Japan, Arnold and me got both one via import and were impressed. Especially games which were quite old like Greatest Driver, Psycho World (still one of the best MSX games) and Feedback. At that time, the little documentation we had on MSX Music Basic we used for making demos with FM music. It didn't work though, it was too slow. We must have a program for making FM music with a replayer in ML, so we decided to buy a music program from Engine (the predecessor of their more popular FM Studio or something like that). It sucked, but FST was a lot better, still not perfect for FM Pac. And from there we could make Awesome and with the help of Marco v/d Berg we could make Awesome 2 with stereo music. This was the first step in the direction of Moonblaster. The idea of MoonBlaster started after several problems with FST (the replayer was too slow, FM Pac was not used good in FST, etc.) Remco started with MB and I did the beta testing and giving advice and tips for additions. The rest is MSX history. Too bad Arnold quit Moonsoft during that time, he bought a Megadrive :-( I think I will call him one of these days... He has a PSX now. After MB we wanted to make a game, but it all failed, despite some promising ideas and tests. Partly to do with not having a graphical man (Arnold was gone). Some little demo games were made, like Fairplay and the intro for one of the Sunrise Picturediscs. In '91 our MSX Club Rijnstreek decided to merge with Genic to become Stichting Sunrise. Our goal was to give people information by using the good name of MSX Club Rijnstreek and the quality of the Genic programmers (Genic had some ... dubious... reputation in the past) and their magazine. Too bad some ideas didn't work out well (I miss those club days). We decided to work on the Sunrise Picturedisc, a demodisc with demos from all kinds of MSX groups. It was nice to do, but because of school I had to quit and it was also the end of my MSX activity. The Moonsound was released using the same development phase as MB, where I had to use the Moonsound (and I created most of the sounds of the program, it was exhausting...) But I still have my MSX and I still use it to make music. I don't have the Moonsound, Remco has it, so I use my FM Pac and MSX Audio for it. (Remco is now living in the same flat as Ray from 2 Limited) Now I have the following setup: your standard MSX2 (Sony HBF700D still) with FM Pac and Music Module (like I said: standard), SD Snatcher + SCC, Nemesis 3 + SCC, MSX2+ chips, DOS 2.

AW: AW: msx-ers
Hi there, Yes, and therefore I'd like to see a Moonblaster version with 18 wave channels and 6 FM channels. Just to have that great plucked and synth bass 3 back. Great!!! I made that instrument! Synth bass 3! :) Based it on Plucked 3 and made it a lot fatter. I'm flattered. *sigh* my sole reason to live was to create synth bass 3 :) I personally prefer the FM sound over the wavetable, because you can manipulate and create weird effects with it. It's like analogue and digital synthesisers. People created digital synths to make the sounds more realistic and close to the original, but then they realised the analogue sounds are much more sounds of their own in stead of (for example) a violin. The same can be said about FM and wavetable. It all depends on what you prefer: realistic sounds or self made sounds. Grtz Coen Press F5 to continue MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Legends...
Hi there, "Legend of Heroes" and "Xanadu". It is very, very, very long since I last played "Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes" (MSX, of course), but I don't remember it being called "Dragon Slayer VI" anywhere. It shouldn't, because it is an independent series No, Legend of Heroes was the subtitle of Dragonslayer 6, just as Sorcerian is Dragonslayer 5. Just look at the logo-screen, just after the text intro, you will see Dragonslayer being mentioned. I believe the japanese PC88 also have these titles. But Dragonslayer 1 has nothing to do with 2 (Xanadu), Dragonslayer 2 has nothing to do with 3 (Romancia), Dragonslayer 3 has nothing to do with 4 (Dragon Family or something), Dragonslayer 4 has nothing to do with 5 (Sorcerian), etc... :-) (old Finkers joke).
