Ever tried a harddisk on MSX? I have 1GB of diskspace on my MSX... I can only
dream to have it ever filled! I play all Konami's and most megaROMs from
harddisk... Quite great actually!
> - I can play on a very good 17" monitor
Is not something that can NOT be done with MSX, but I admit: it's quite
impossible to get an RGB monitor bigger that 13". I know someone with 21" RGB
monitors though... (BUdt he won't sell them...)
> - debugging is really very easy using an emulator
Do you still program then? And with an emulator you're never sure if your
program fucks up, or the emulator fucks up.

True, if your PC is fast enough. 7MHz on MSX helps though. (Ok, not as much as
an emulator on a Sparc HPC-10000)

What's the use? MSX2 doesn't HAVE more than about 1750 colours (with
Interlacing tricks)

Ok. Good one.

Wow! ;-)

And what about MSX Audio? Moonsound?

Heheheh... What about Almost Real? Unknow Reality? Etcetera?

Why don't you ask Hans Oranje to build in 1 MB of SIMM memory in your MSX?
I don't mind talking about emu's by the way, since it can disclose many nice
features of MSX, and generate nice info. Which can be used by MSX developers
then, ofcourse... Don't like these "how to run *** in fmsx" questions
though... (READ THE F**KING FAQ! ;-)
