Hi,
I've integrated two replies into one.
I agree that it is a useful service, but I maintain that it doesn't have
to be part of the standard. It is sufficient for the info file to include
the ID of the packager and the version of the package.
Everything is needed to implement this on

Hi!
Below you'll find a description of the generic mapper: how it works and the
syntax we use to store its parameters in the INI file. This description is
intended to become part of the standard describing .msx files. Please correct
any mistake I may have made.
Bye,

What about fMSX? It might be useful for that too. Seems the developper made it

Hi
Because of lack of interest for trading something for my complete Ping Pong,
you can bid on it... Current high bid is 45 NLG (about 22 Euros).
Mail me if you want to bid on it...
Good trade offers are still accepted.

I have two reasons:
1. Making it a simple text file is easier to make mirrors.
Everyone with a home page can mirror it, without the need to program in
cgi, perl, php or whatever.

Hi,
The MSX stuff for auction is at:
http://www.sci.kun.nl/marie/home/manuelbi/msx/
in the For Trade/Sale page.
There is currently only a bid on the Ping Pong cart (current bid is 55 NLG,
check the page for the current bid...). That auction will end February 1st.

ok, ok. I'll give my 2 cents as well :-)
- The data is 'protected', for example it's simply not possible to have
double entries (based on several fields)
- References can be made
- Updates are absolutely without problems (nothing can be forgotten)
- fields can be added without worries
- parsing

The phone number is corect. But alas, his wife informed me that Haary died
two years ago. So I apologized to her about this phonecall. Very sorry to

Hi.
I will tell you a story.
I was happily trying to get my Philips NMS8250 MSX working (the cartridge
slot was working quite badly), and as an experiment I tried if banging on my
desk (with my hands, not my MSX) would crash my computer. Well, that worked
alright, in fact, after three fully
Oh, and by the way, does anyone know where I can get a Z80 technical manual

it has only Z80 manuals in hardcopy format (how strange...).

And, please, don't forget SCC+. =)
Of which there are 2 different versions...
Nope... They are exactly the same. The difference is
not on SCC+ itself, but what bank of RAM is used. SCC+
can manage two 64Kb banks. One game uses the lower bank

My SCSI cables are not that long.
Mine is about 4 meters.
There are many types of related info about a game. Cover scans, game
music,
tips etc. It's impractical to store all of that in the .msx file, both
because of the size and because it's hard to keep it up-to-date. Storing
URLs
solves the size problem, but it doesn't solve the up-to-date problem
Oh, and by the way, a cheap turboR will also be appreciated.
