Unfortunately, things are what they are, not what we want it to be...

I agree that it's a weird decision. Because, if I can buy (some people will
prefer to pirate it)a 100% complete and functional emulator, why would I
need a new machine?
I believe ASCII doesn't want to do a new MSX, they just want to sell an
emulator and softs.

Ademir Carchano, Leonard Padial and others. The problem is getting them to
work together.

And what do you expect them to do? Call all MSX groups and hear what they
want? You know that even if they wanted to do it, it wouldn't work. why?
Because in all those years, we weren't able to talk and agree about we want
in a new MSX, we couldn't put aside our vanity and hear what other MSX users
wanted, we simply
took our divine right to decide what would be best for a new MSX. And now we
have MMSX from Padial, ACE002 from Ademir, MSX3 from ASCII... All diferent
computers. And the only one who has the rights to make a new MSX is ASCII.

There will be always place for amateur groups.

But what 32 bits MSX do you want? Yours? Or a new 32 bits MSX that will make
all msx users happy and not only those who live in Spain? I don't want to
start a war here, I'm just saying that I do not remember we talking about
how should be a new 32 bits MSX. All we talked about was z180 x z380 in the
new MSX. I don't think ASCII is doing anything diferent than what we did
when we decided to do our own MSX without hearing other people.
