I have 640kb, what makes you think I have something less? :) It's just more economical to do 512kb songs (the wavekit is actually only 320kb) so more people can enjoy it.

Re: MSX Fair Bussum programme
Hey Laurens, >- Presentation. Several groups and users can show off new products >(software >AND hardware), products in development or special things like a system >configuration or so. Ofcourse it is useful to prepare a (short) speech. You're talking about the marathon right now ? Speeching amidst the crowds of a normal fair is somewhat impossible, but if you prepare some time and attention, ofcourse we (Sargon) are willing to give a speech... Might be some drastical changes within the Sargon-team, so we just might have some news... >- Music / Drawing competition. Should we give the composers priority access >to the PCs, so they can rip samples from MOD-CDs or sample new ones etc??? >Who will be the jury??? A few selected ones or all people available? I think ripping samples isn't needed. As most composers use their own wavekits that contain every sample they should want to use, I guess MOD-CD's aren't needed at all. I do think that you should allow every composer to use his/her own wavekit... About the jury, that's a difficult one. The persons who would probably fit best for jury sometimes also might be wanting to join the contest themselves. Though ofcourse I'm not sure of that... By the way, is it your intention that the music for this contest is composed DURING the fair or is it also allowed to bring own compositions in advance ? If you ask me, the first option is more fun for visitors... They can watch people making music... >I have no further ideas at the moment. As said: suggestions are welcome. A game contest might be interesting. Thought you would've made up that one by yourself, but just in case... Games like Puyo Puyo or F1-Spirit might do, but it also might be interesting to organise some RPG-contest or so. If you do so, the point is getting to some particular point in the game or finishing it in as little time as possible. >And ps, if you want to present something or have any new products, I'd like >to know in advance, so we can put it on the MSX Fair homepage, publicize >it, >etc... That will probably attract more visitors... We just might finally be able to release Defender 6, though I can't say that for sure... We also would like to have some kind of auction, like Fony did at the Tilburg-fair. Robert and I have some original Japanese MSX-stuff for sale and Robert said the auction in Tilburg was fun. So we'd like to try something like that in Bussum. >Also, if you go to the Marathon: BRING YOUR COMPUTER!!! Without 24 hours >might become a little long... Anyways, for sure is that it will be a lot >more fun if you have your MSX with you... There will be plenty of tables What exactly is the thing you expect from this marathon ? Is everybody just busy with their own things on MSX or will the visitors be entertained ?

It is not a stupid excuse, I know many MSX guys of Spain who do not speak english, I mean nothing, absolutely nothing...try to speak some spanish phrases with some sense and maybe you will understand to Armando.

Why Armando or some spanish friends do not speak english??, easy, in spanish schools you could choose between english (nowadays always selected) or french, other languajes even. > Wasn't there a Spanish mailinglist or Newsgroup or so? There is a brazilian ML, you can write there in spanish or portugues. Another detail, I think it is not important to have a perfect english, the spanish grammar, french grammar, italian grammar...are very different from english one, my english is enough understable after years of hard learning, mainly in the MSX world (Internet, friends, MSX fairs...), there are people in Spain that know english, but they never practized it.

Re: Who wants to help me write an C64 emul for MSX?..
>What about a Sega Mastersystem emulator? Hardware is not quite different from MSX. Actually, that's what makes it harder! Emulating a Z80 on a Z80 means you can not keep any of the emulated Z80's registers in the MSX Z80! For my 6502 emulator I was able to keep the 3 registers, stack pointer, program counter, and flags in Z80 registers. Having to emulate a Z80 means you have to do a lot of stack-operations or use slow memorylocations. Although you could keep the emulated Z80's normal registers in the MSX's alternate registers and switch them during an emulated EXX-instruction. That's not a bad idea now that I think about it. :) When I have some spare time left (could be a while), I'll investigate the Mastersystem hardware. Maybe a SG-1000 (early sega console) or SC-3000 (early sega computer) would be easier, they are VERY similar to MSX1 (same VDP). Perhaps some sort of compiler could be programmed, maybe all that's needed are some I/O-port changes... >I think having an emulator of another system than MSX is not a loss of time, because it would enable us to use even more software on our beloved system. I agree with you. Even if it was terribly slow, it would still be way cool! :) Greetz, Patriek ,--. ,---. ,--.

Why should you do that? You can as well display the text as graphics. Advantages of that: 1. no hassle with screensplits, 2. you can add nice colors to the text, 3. You can make the text appear in a nice-looking way... Lots of nice effects possible, like fading every letter into screen (put first letter on screen, color=(1,1,1) ::: put second letter on screen, color=(1,1,1), make first letter color=(2,2,2) ::: etc. etc. etc.) or let them appear in a way like the program below demonstrates: (load a picture on page 1).

QBASIC version: (little adapted: don't know how to do a copy, nor how to use 'invisible pages', nor how to load an image, so I used a white line.

Loading from HD isn't slow, you can keep up with the audio stream I think. The only problem when using a device like SiMPL is that you can't continue playing when loading (however using a sampleunit you can), and using the MusicModule you'll have to convert from PCM to ADPCM, which takes a lot of time (however, this can be done in advance to memory or to a file, however you then need more RAM or HD space).

No Subject
Ad a): The GFX9000 can only be checked by reading/writing some of the registers of the V9990 via IN/OUT ports. There's no specific ID register available (as opposed to the V9938/58 both of which have an ID), but you could use any readable + writable register. For example: write &HA5 to R#0 (port &H60) and then read R#0 again. If the read value is &HA5 the V9990 is present. The drawback of this is that any device that has a readable + writable register at port &H60 will be recognized as V9990. So it might be better to use a V9990 specific register, like its status register. For example: 10 OUT &H67,1: ' (release software reset and use overscan mode: MCS=1) 20 A=INP (&H65): ' read V9990 status register 30 A=A AND &H04: ' only read MCS bit (Master Clock Select) 40 IF A<>4 THEN 100: ' MCS=0? Then no V9990 present 50 OUT &H67,0: ' (use non-overscan mode: MCS=0) 60 A=INP (&H65) 70 A=A AND &H04 80 IF A<>0 THEN 100: ' MCS=1? Then no V9990 present 90 PRINT "V9990 found": END 100 PRINT "V9990 not found": END Another option is to use the V9990 interrupt system (e.g. its line interrupt). If the interrupt doens't occur within a specific time, the V9990 is not present. The interrupt system is the safest way of detection, as the chance is very very small that some other device has an identical interrupt system. But I think that the MCS test should be sufficient. But again, this is not a 'standard' or something. The V9990 has no standard option for detection. Ad b): Very difficult. The Video9000 doesn't have any registers, except for one at port &H6F. However, this is only a writable register. Reading port &H6F will always return &HFF. Because a Video9000 without its RGB input connected to some video source acts exactly like a GFX9000, the Video9000 can't be detected at all when the RGB input isn't connected. A non-present video signal overrules the register &H6F settings completely and the Video9000 can't be accessed in fact. Only if the RGB input cable is connected to the MSX computer, the Video9000 can be detected in a few, rather difficult ways. I only give the ideas: One could set the V9938/58 at 60Hz and the V9990 at 50Hz. Then you wait for a V9990 frame-interrupt (which occurs at the end of each frame cycle). If this interrupt doesn't occur within 1/50 of a second, the Video9000 is present, because the V9938/58 is resetting the V9990 frame cycle, before it has reached the end, and so no interrupt occurs. If an interrupt is noticed, the Video9000 isn't present. Another possibility is to make the V9938/58 screen some colour (not black or white) and digitize this for a short moment (a few screen lines is sufficient). Then, read the contents of the V9990 VRAM and see if indeed the V9938/58 colour has been digitized. I prefer the interrupt type of detection. It's easier to realize and can be performed with both the V9938/58 and the V9990 screen display switched off. Again, this only works if the RGB input connector (SCART or DIN) is connected to the RGB output of the computer. Detection without the RGB cable connected to the MSX is not possible. Ad c): The official way is to read the OPL4 wavetable register 2. Bits 5-7 contains the OPL4 identification. See OPL4 manual page 14 for more information. Nevertheless, Moonblaster for Moonsound doesn't use this option, and just writes a value to some readable + writable register, recalls this value and compares it with the original written value. However, this can be cheated by a device that as a readable + writable register located at the same port number. Moonblaster is not detecting as it should be. Using the OPL4 ID is preferred. Ad d): The Sunrise IDE interface can be detected by reading the Flash-ROM. There should be some ID in the Bios. Ask Jon for more information or perhaps it's mentioned in the IDEtech.txt file. The other harddisk interfaces I don't know enough about them. So I don't know. For the BERT interface ask Hans Oranje, for the Novaxis ask Henrik Gilvad. Ad e): I don't know anything about ESE-RAM, so I'm not able to answer the question for this device. Greetings Koen MSX Mailinglist.

All of them, except Cozumel. "Aventura Espacial" and the two sequels of
Cozumel are incoherent, but Cozumel itself is great.
