Yes, the first reports speak of Nishi being shocked

Ivan... Everybody knows it, but what I guess that Zorita means is that they
will do the best for them, which is not to be necessarily (very seldom in
fact) the best for the user, and everybody also knows it but very few
remember.

I agree. Even if the only thing we get from all this mess is a perfect
emulator, we all can be happy.

It's not only you the one to have memory, but the ones behind the new MSX.

And because this, it must be studied carefully.
MSX2+? A disaster.
Turbo R? A disaster.
Japanese MSX Audio? Guess what...
I hope the ASCII brains take seriously the last MSX steps, and more
seriously the steps to make.

Dude, you are telling on all the message you've not forgotten, but I think
you are really willing to forget... ;-)

In Zoritistani: Will they take seriously any advice from us?

In Japan this is more possible than in Europe.
In Europe you can count with the fingers of your two hands (being generous)
the groups that could be ready to be 'professionalized' (and willing to
be!). And you'll be able to count the real ones with a single hand. And
even less the ones that effectively will endure two years.
> > Are we stupid now ? Should we stop making MSX meetings ?
> Yes. We all will stop making MSX meetings ...
Dude, I guess what Zorita means is that one wicked effect of the realease
of a new MSX, supposing it's successful (aside of the quality of the
machine) and the return (???) of companies such as Compile, MicroCabin and
so on is that Europeans cannot compete.
People then will prefer better games and will get little interest on soft
of less quality.
And about meetings, MSX meetings nourish from MSX groups, mainly of MSX
groups DOING THINGS, and RELEASING THINGS. What interest will have to be in
a meeting with three/four distributors?

In some aspects, believe it.

Really? Then, with all this MSX-3-mess, be careful to not be 'danced', in
the style of 'Paquito el Chocolatero'
(Sorry for non-Spanish, but for getting the idea of this -real- dance I'd
have to attach an MPG video, and that's not the point).

Well, that's what people expected at 1988/9 and they got 2+.
Again they expected it at 1991/2 and they (me included) got Turbo R.
Now people expects (I don't expect anything) MSX3 and can get what Zorita
says "MSX Turbo-R-Plus".
> P.S: You (we) can be sceptical, but not SO NEGATIVE.
When you've got so many kicks from hopes...
