What is the added value of MSX Player against a
community developed portable MSX emulator?
I don't think the community will make a MSX emulator that's portable to
mobile phones. Because you will have to program it for Intent.
Don't look dead on Intent and friends. There are already small
mobile devices running Linux for one thing.
Portability is just a matter of SDK's. For one thing I know
that mobile devices will run java 'applets-alikes' soon.
what stops some nice MSX/unix hackers to make a better emulator?
Nothing. In fact, Nishi said anyone is free to create there one MSX
emulators. He even said you can use ASCII's name to be able to benefit from
ASCII's licenses for hardware and software. (VDP, BIOS etc)
I think I might've missed quite some things...
Did anyone make a written transcript of Nichi's speech yet?
I listened to the tape, but it was not easy to understand all.
