That's a problem.

By the way, does somebody know what developing tools
Konami used to create their games? I wouldn't believe
that they had written all that in pure assembler.
Anybody has a clue?
I've contacted Konami a while ago for legal issues
regarding the old MSX games. They told me "They could
be available for free". I wonder if they could
contribute with something like source code or specs if
we show them some interest on it.
Later!
PS: It's good to be back to constructivism!
