Re: MGN
Both MGN and msxasm look very promising. Keep up the good work guys!

What's that? MGN is the MSX Gaming Network, a site devoted to games being developed for MSX! Only recent games will show on the site. That's a good initiative! Maybe it's a good idea not only to highlight the games being developed, but also offer some support for the people creating them. There are always many ideas for MSX games, only some make it to the demo stage and very few are finished. Maybe if there is more sharing of knowledge and resources, more games will be finished. For example some game makers can write a couple of tutorials including examples (design/code/gfx/music, depending on the subject). Maybe a tutorial about integrating the MoonBlaster replayer in your game is useful, there were several questions about that recently on this list. You don't have to be an expert to write a tutorial: if you managed to accomplish the task, you can teach someone else. And some tooling that is useful for game developers. Compilers/assemblers (links to distributers or downloads, depending on the license), graphics conversion tools, raw sector writers (dcopy, rawrite etc), data compressors etc. Personally I would focus on cross-development: let the heavy programs run on a PC and target the output to MSX. Just downloads would not be enough, a description of how to use the tool is necessary for someone to get started with it easily. Most tools are already somewhere on the net, the added value of MGN could be to bring them all together and tell the game maker when to use what tool.

game I didn't know
http://emuzone.metropoli2000.com/abadia or http://emuzone.metropoliglobal.com/abadia It's about a game called La Abadia del Crimen. I've never seen this game before. Does anyone know more about this game which seems to be available for several platforms, including MSX and MSX2 (the latter a remake)? Perhaps this game is known under a different name but from the screenshots I cannot tell what it is. Regards, Thom -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Is he -or anyone else- intending to spread out his ideas to the world at this moment (well, in fact he did that at Tilburg, but that's not the biggest audience one can get)? I'd love to see Edge magazine do an article about this exciting, but still doubtful developments. If Nishi wants to, he should contact them as I know they will cover it some time. I think that will happen at the moment the developments are not 'doubtful' anymore... Sorry for using perhaps the wrong word (i.e. doubtful). But then again, they did cover Indrema (RIP) and Nuon already and because their phrase is "future of e-entertainment" I think this story suits their mag perfectly. Nishi talking about hardware in his shoes sounds futuristic enough to me. By the way, this whole new MSX idea looks like a bit of Indrema (Linux, encourage programming etc) TZ -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Re: NLMSX v0.29 released
- Scanlines are removed, but this may give performance problems. What do you mean with "scanlines are removed"? Are you emulating VDP state changes with pixel precision? In the previous versions of NLMSX every second line was a black line. This meant that only half the image had to be rendered. This screen looks better and more brighter than the old versions. Personally, I like the 25 % scanline option from ZSNES! This way, it looks the same as it looks on a tv screen (approximately, of course).

Re: The Japanese Sunrise misunderstanding???
[betas take over msx-mailinglist:] You can't emulate on a quantum level: you'd never know the initial state (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle). mode BORG Heisenberg is irrelevant. /mode ...just emulate all possible initial states and trace to which they converge ;-) That means you need approximately a 1/c Hz processor if you want to get at least some decent speed! This leads automatically to some relativity-effects: if you turn on your computer, it transforms into a laptop because of Lorentz-contraction! Thom MSX Mailinglist.

GFX9000 for sale [in DUTCH]
Ik heb ooit een GFX9000 gekocht bij Sunrise, alleen heb ik 'm eigenlijk nooit gebruikt, vooral omdat ik er pas erg laat achter kwam dat zowel het kabeltje van Sunrise als de Scart-aansluiting van mijn TV het niet deden. Nu alles het weer doet, doe ik echter nog steeds niets met de GFX9000, dat is zonde, dus lijkt het me beter om hem te verkopen. Ik vraag HFL 299,= voor de GFX. Ik woon in Utrecht, dus misschien dat het loont (ivm met de PTT) om het op te halen (d.w.z. doordeweeks). De GFX is vrijwel ongebruikt en zit al in een kastje/cartridge(hoe noem je zoiets?). Ook het kabeltje van de GFX naar een scart-aansluiting zit er natuurlijk bij, alsmede de programma's PICView en de Basic (alleen TurboR). Andere programma's zijn volgens mij te downloaden bij Sunrise. Interesse?

Re: ez80
According to Zilog, the specifications are still under construction, and they specifically warn that product deliverability may be a problem. Not quite the recommendations for starting the zilion-and-first MSX-3 project... Haha, please show me the other zilion MSX3 projects! No just kidding, I'm certainly not intending to design a NGMSX. I'm just curious. BTW, Zilog says on http://www.zilog.com the eZ80 will be 100% compatible with the Z80. Also a lot of eZ80-internet-blabla overthere, but I'm sure you've already read that.
