I did not like the fMSX solution (because fMSX is really crappy), but I agree with ASCII in starting their based on something that is on the market. I do not think re-invent the wheel will help at all. Why is fMSX crappy? It's the #1 UNIX MSX emulator. I've successfully used it for years. I recently installed it on my DEC Alpha Worksation XL-266 (running a customized Red Hat Linux, 2.2.18 kernel) and it runs all my games perfectly. The sound is as perfect as can be with a lowly SB-16. Hi. Have you ever looked at fMSX's code? And do you know by what crappy license fMSX is released? I use MESS for my msx emulation, and granted, the MSX2 emulation is still in the works, but at least it's proper code and everyone can contribute to it. Also MESS runs fullscreen, and I easily hacked in some code to take lots of screenshots which I know use to make nice animations for my website. ( http://w3.qahwah.net/joost ) Eventually I or a friend might make that feature a bit decent and prolly submit it back so everyone has it. ( For those who've never heard about opensource and free sofware principles: http://www.opensource.org http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html they are getting very important these days! ) With fMSX Marat alone is in full control of the quality/features of his program. With an opensource emulator every programmer is. E.g. I was using fMSX, and noticed the extremely ugly commandline handling. I thought: hey, thats something I can fix. Soo I went and looked for the licence. I notice it itsn't opensource, soo I didn't make the change. I know I know, some will say: I don't care about licenses, but a properly free (free as in freedom, not free as in free beer as it is now) MSX emulator is for the best of all.

Re: fMSX
What you say makes sense. However, does MESS run on UNIX, or is it easily portable to that platform? If not I'll stick to fMSX for my games for a while, and check in upon MESS every now and then. To think of it... I actually saw a reference to MESS on a website once, can't remember which. The screenshots were cool :) Furthermore, Marat's license doesn't really prohibit your changing the code, he simply states that he wishes to be notified when you do so, and also that you may not use his products commercially (i.e. e.g. sell it), which I find perfectly acceptable. So far I've had to change very little in his distributions of fMSX. Version 2.3 runs fine on my systems. However, I agree with you that a free software implementation would be more useful. Please note the difference between Open Source and Free Software (take a look at Richard Stallman's page for that, there are references to it everywhere). Also, note that the GNU Public License (version 2) isn't entirely burnproof, there are loopholes in it, but it's a good way to start.

Re: Self criticisms
Dear Takamichi, Maybe I am stupid, but for people like me, please elaborate some more: He told me he was initially preparing to attend T. 2001, but dropped his intention after he heard Nishif_ck would attend the fair. Use of censorship code _ is my favorite play of word. Why did you write Nishif_ck? What is the origin of your disrespect for Mr. Nishi? He also agreed that the current MSX Revsomething crap is a holocaust which essentially is the ethnically cleansed attempt to rule anyone other than .jp under THEIR (where me nor Ghost is included) totalitarian rule. But Tbkbmichi thinks MSX Revivalists are trying to ethnic-cleanse everyone other than Japanese. What Yurei told me was, that he thinks some people, all of them Japanese, are trying to control the MSX users. He nor I did not even think about actual murder and dictatorship. Why does he think that? It sounds rediculous. We have a quite open discussion with the MSX Revival project. Not only .jp people. What is so against it? He finally recommended me to keep away from .jp nazis, and wished those non-jp chicks eager to be fed with nazi food to be snuffed with nutrious gases or something then they would probably realize they were THE collaborators. Hey, Tbkbmichi is crazy! He wants all non-jp MSX users to be mortally dead. I (Takamichi) certainly cannot remember thinking of such genocide. No, for Yurei's dignity, he didn't say this kind of thing! Next time, please be a LOT more careful what you write. Beside, the English style used here can be identified as a phrase written by someone other than me. To readers. Do you think I (Takamichi) actually developed an alter ego? Please inform me if I repost this kind of obviously abnormal message. We did. Please don't take it lightly. And, please don't ignore this e-mail. [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: And one thing... Takamichi told us that he used hundreds of hours running in shops for SD Snatcher... I truly hope people who demanded those games also paid WELL for him from that work. This is of course a point that is very important. I noticed that there is a difference between Japanese and European favours. Some people have underestimated this and therefore their relation with Takamich became bad. Dear Takamichi. If a European guy ask you something like Could you look for SD-Snatcher, IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN AKIHABARA? he does NOT mean: Find me and SD-Snatcher right NOW.. No. He means what he says: suppose you go to Akihabara. If you are there then and have some time left, could you look if you see an SD-Snatcher for sale in the shop you are in? (So, if you happen to run into an SD-Snatcher, please buy it for me. Don't take any trouble, and I don't care that it could take a long time). This is quite a big difference. The first interpretation is a ver BIG favour. THe second is a very small favour. Please, everyone should remember this very well. It's not a joke or an overstatement. It's really true.

Nishi handed out copies of those slides and saw people with microphones recording the speech, so I assume that if Nishi that objected to them being published, he would have said so in Tilburg. The meeting on Sunday was only for people invited. Understandable because of the small meeting room, but far from open. The information given there was not published for the benefit of those not present. Yokoi said things that he would probably not have said in public. The design made by Japanese MSX users was not presented to the Dutch MSX users. Neither directly or afterwards. There is sense in letting two groups develop independently, but it's not open. The fact that MSX Player is in fact fMSX-Intent was not known before Tilburg. Not in Europe, not in Japan. Even Marat didn't know.

Re: MSX1 Web Browser on mobile phone
I've heard something about the FudeBrowser, and I downloaded it from a MSX BBS (yes, they do exist in the Netherlands) because at that time I hadn't an internetconnection on my PC. I've tested it on my MSX2 (Philips, NMS 8245), but never on a MSX 1, simple because of the reason that I haven't got a MSX 1 ! I don't know much about the project for setting up this via a mobile phone. I think it would be possible if FudeBrowser was using GPRS or UMTS, but rather think that wellknown telecom operators (like Vodafone, KPN, NTT Docimo, BT) would use FudeBrowser. I think they will make more graphically better enhanced browsers for these purposes. But I would like it when the usage of the FudeBrowser on a mobile phone, would be possible!
