Re: Z380
It is not the point . Don't forget that Padial is working on other project, the MMSX. It will be a stand-alone MSX with Z380, new VDP (by using FPGA technology, DSP card, etc.) I see. And this new, advanced MSX, won't be compatible with old softwares, so we need to have another msx in order to run the old apps... Now I ask you... :)That's wrong This new MSX will be compatible with old software since DSP will emulate old sound chips and the new VDP will be V9958 compatible Un saludo, Jose Angel Morente ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) *MSX DREAMS* ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ¡Suscríbete a HispaMSX! http://www.egroups.com/group/hispamsx [EMAIL PROTECTED] msxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsxmsx MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Konami's Shalom (Knightmare 3)
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. Hmm, this sounds _very_ interesting... maybe someone could show much interest and get the codes. Even codes from games which were not published ? Then there would be possibility to finish those games and make .rom files from them... Greetings: Saku Taipale, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSX Mailinglist.

Re: DISK.ROM Influence? (again OFFTOPIC...)
Just send your info to Manuel Bilderbeek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He's in Japan right now, I don't know if he's able to edit the FAQ from there. I am not. But if you send this in info in clear QA format to the above address, I will add it as soon as I get back. Promised. :) My mail-client switches to Kanji mode... Strange, probably this incredibly BAKA M$ Lookout Espresso is not behaving as it should. I thoguht I had told this program to use an international ISO charset. Blagh! Is it hard to type on a Japanese keyboard? Just like on MSX or nowadays very different? I can tell you, it's hard to type on a German one. (it was very It's terrible, although I guess it is about the same keyboard as you find on a turboR. VERY short spacebar ;-) weird, QZERTY, if I remember correct) QWERTZ you mean. Y and Z are swapped and a lot of keys are arranged like SHIT. (Sorry for that, but I really hate German keyboards... I have a Sony HB-G900D, so I know what I am talking about...)

RE: Sega will visit MSX Den-yu Land 2000
Hola, I've received an email from Ikeda a while ago, and he has confirmed that people from Sega will visit the fair to look at the MSX scene and try to decide whether it may be of interest for them to program for MSX or not. Entonces no sé si pedirte que lleves el Sonyc para ver si me vendes alguna copia :) Saludos, Manuel MSX Mailinglist.

RE: Philips parts
The switch is for testpurposes. You need a cartridge too (which i do not have..) I think the NMS8280 service manual has some info on it (still scanning and stitching the parts together, hope to finish it next week, had half of it already online when geocities kicked me off, any opinion on which free webpage provider to select?).

Re: Why this discussion again!!
That is sortof weird, since a lot of japanese words are in katakana. Which is actually a sort of spin-off from english words. But I don't need to tell that to somebody studying japanese ;) But I still think it's kinda weird that a lot of japanese ppl don't read/write english. Just MHO... Well, katakana-words are words that originate in a non-oriental language. Mainly English, but Dutch, French, Portuguese etc. words are also used. Besides, these are only a couple of words, which ofcourse is not enough to be capable of understanding a foreign language. Japanese and English differ fundamentally in many ways, which is often forgotten by non-Japanese who are taken aback by the fact that most Japanese don't understand English. Languages that originate in Europe are all in some way related, which is why for most of the people speaking such a European language English is not very hard to understand. Rieks.

Re: Konami's Shalom (Knightmare 3)
If you have access to a Linux system, you can easily edit the strings on any binary files using "elvis". It's the "vi" text editor, considered the standard UNIX text editor editor. Very powerful tool. If you'd rather gather all the text for translation first and let the input for another moment, you can use the "strings" command to display any strings in the binary file. Actually I know very little about Linux and the like. I think that I really need some explanation before being able to translate something using it. Translation of the texts is my specialization, and I'm hoping that there's someone whose specialization is implementing them :) I hope you get some motivation now! :) I'm already motivated. Shalom really is a very interesting game to translate. Rieks. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Konami's Shalom (Knightmare 3)
That would be a good idea if the texts in Shalom were written in 7-bit ASCII characters. But they aren't. They are written in katakana and hiragana, which are graphical characters which ASCII code is 127, so 'strings' wouldn't detect them. They even use some kanji (only a small amount, that is). I don't know how they cast these onto the screen, but I think there is no way you can find these back in the binary files the way they are shown on the screen. Besides, I've heard that Shalom's texts are somehow packed to fit in 256Kb, but I'm not sure of it. I don't know anything about that. Rieks.

Re: Konami's Shalom (Knightmare 3)
Does somebody know about a translated version of Shalom? I believe that game must be pretty cool, unfortunatelly the fact that it is in japanese makes it unplayable by people like me (that know absolutely nothing about japanese). It really is a weird game, but very nice. The introstory is about a boy and a girl who are both members of a computerclub. The girl recently bought a copy of the latest Konami-game: Shalom. The boy rips the game out of her hands, puts it into his computer and... vanishes. When he opens his eyes, he is being stared at by a lady pork called Butako (I think I might translate this as 'Porky' since 'buta' means 'pork' and 'ko' is something very much used to create a girls' name (it literally means 'child', though) who tells you that you're in the ancient Greek kingdom and the only way of returning to your own world and time is to defeat the evil demon king Gogu. Since you don't understand a word of the local language, Butako functions as an interpreter as well as a local guide. During the game you will discover that things you do in the ancient Greek kingdom actually have great influence in the time you're living in yourself. There are some nice parallels with the real world and like I said before, the game is full of jokes. I myself never actually finished Shalom (got stuck near the end of the game), but as far as I played it, it was very interesting. Rieks.
