I agree with this but...

And how can I put SCSI interface, memory expansion/moonsound (most people
still having only 128K of internal RAM, wich most times is not enough to
run programs from HD), and ROM protection with only two slots? Please think
other solution... 8-)
And please, don't worry about emulators. I think that programs must be
prepared only for run on real MSX computers. If they run also in emulators,
nice: this means that emulator is good. If not, don't mind.
>I think that a hardware lock is much more efficient !
What about a protection via joystick port, like Tetris 2?

If things become very bad, we can sold every game with a police which will
avoid bad copy temptations on the user... guns can be considered
"hardware", right?
