Amstrad monitor for MSX computers
Amstrad monitor for MSX computers Hello, I've read that Amstrad color monitors can be transformed so that they can be used as MSX color monitors. The cable of an Amstard monitor has the following pins. 5 1 6 4 2 3 1-RED 2-GREEN 3-BLUE 4-SYNCRONISM 5-GROUND 6-LUMINANCE Amstrad uses a 6-pin plug whereas the MSX jack uses 8-pins. Has anobody tried to plug an Amstard monitor to an MSX computer? If so, how? If not, could anybody give me a hand on how s/he would do it? I was able to "return to life" my old green monitor thanks to the tips from people in this list. Now I would like to use, at last, a color monitor. Greetings, Manuel __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: DO NOT OPEN Happy99.exe!!! VIRUS
Sorry for the offtopic. Well, if I was you, I shoud be very worried about this virus, as this worm send information stored in your computer to an IRC server. This information includes ALL password stored in windows, machine name, user names, I also think it uses a keylog program to send information you entered in the computer, but I'm not sure about that. So it should be a good idea to change every password you have entered in your computer, for your security. A friend of mine told me the virus was destructive. I looked it up and not one site mentions that it destroys data nor sends info to an IRC server or something like that. So I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. Mere speculations, imho. Like 'I heard from a friend of mine that his uncle told him that his son...' And besides, even if it were true. They must get hundreds of passwords per minute on that IRC channel this way, seeing the speed with which the virus spreads. The dataflow to this channel would be HUGE (certainly when it would also log the keys). The chance that they pick my passwords out of all those other ones... it's minimal. Also, there are very little useful passwords for them to check. I never automatically remember passwords in IE, and the login-passwords of my provider are quite useless to them. Anyways, I rather trust the websites of the antivirus-developers. By the way, it was a very nice virus... The size was very small and it still gave a nice effect. Also, it made a backup of the modified system-file (hah!). And last but not least, if you only delete the files and not the registery entries, you are permanently protected against Happy99!!! (since it checks the registery first to see if it's already there before it copies itself). I really like this virus :) And for the people who wanted to have it (but for some reason didn't receive it): I don't have it anymore. But there are several big virus-archives on the internet. I suggest you check out one of those. ~Grauw -- email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ICQ: 10196372 visit my homepage at http://grauw.blehq.org/ MSX Mailinglist.

Re: RoA
Ten times better than The Lost World, which got me bored in five
minutes...
Only fighting, talking, fighting, talking, etc. etc. etc.
I liked The Lost World.
Yes. Imagine how much you would like RoA!!!
RoA has non-linear gameplay, animated battles,
Animated battles? With big battle graphics, like The Lost World? Or the
battle graphics are the same sprites of the game, like Xak? It is a
real-time combat?
It is not real-time but turn-based, just like the Lost World. And it has a
seperate battle-screen. Because of the animations the battle graphics are
not as huge as in the Lost World (and PA3).
cool puzzles ('find out which
one is lying about his family history', very original!!!), very good
graphics, still the same boring music (who's gonna make some new???),
Yes. The Lost World had some good musics, but some others were boring...
Musics are for Moonsound?
The musics are the same as in the Lost World, and those musics were (mostly)
the same as in Pumpkin Adventure III (which did also have MoonSound music,
by the way. The others haven't -yet-. They need a composer... volunteers???
Anybody???). And if I remember correctly some musics from PA3 also appeared
in PA2...
The music itself is quite nice, but I already heard the same music in three
different games...
you can pick up stuff while you're walking and your companions talk to
you, you
can make your own decisions and go to the dark side etc, everytime you
play
it it will be different. And it's still expanding... WHOW!
Are the maps generated randomly?
No no no... About the 'everytime you play it it will be different';
depending on the choices you make in the game you get other subquests. And
about the expanding, it is a 'multi-volume' game. The first part is there
now, but the game hasn't ended yet. There will be more parts (they promised
they would be bigger in size), and once you've got a new part you can
proceed where you left in the previous part.
You can buy scrolls, and also learn them permanently (however the chance
of
this succeeding depends on your character's intelligence)(you might have
to
try twice before it works)... And you can get Karma and Mindforce, two
very
bad things... Mindforce lets your karma increase every battle which in
turn
results in less experience points... Fortunately, you can clear your
karma
and decrease your mindforce at the church. You will also get karma if
you
steal something... Also, your characters can specialize in several
skills...
You can for example teach thievery to someone, which enables you to open
several locked boxes and get more cool stuff... Or you can train
yourself to
master more types of weapons... You can also get a special skill which
you
can use once per 'day' (yes, there is also a day-count).
It seems a complete rule system... 8)'''
Ain't it cool!!!
And you can submit your own quest to the makers, so that it can be added
in
one of the next parts (read the readme for that).
There is a quest editor?
No. But you can make a textfile with very detailed descriptions and send it
to the makers. They will then put it in the game. Provided it isn't too bad
ofcourse.
It's just not... boring. The Lost World really was, and PA3 too (in a
much
lesser degree, btw). This game just has so many features, and if you're
stuck with the one thing you can temporarily do another quest if you
want...
Have you ever played a roguelike game? According to your comments, RoA
is similar, in some aspects, to a roguelike game.
Pfff... never heard of it.
Examples??? (well-known titles???)
The first part was a bit short though... But it wasn't expensive either
(Dfl. 17,50, about 8 Euros). I am really waiting for the next part!!!
In a few days I will have it!! 8D
Alrighty then!!!
About ordering (in some other mail)... For Sunrise products you can surf to
www.msx.ch
That's the Sunrise homepage. I don't know if you can order software online
(with a credit-card or something like that), but there will certainly be
ordering-information.
Have phun!
