AW: [EmuSucking] I was right!
Hi there, (btw: just got back from Tossa de Mar, Spain = cool and fudeba at some places). >NB: emulators are not a guarantee of survival for the MSX system just like >cyborgs are not a guarantee of survival for the human race. Above is one of the coolest remarks (and a great metaphor) I read about this subject. This is my view on emulators: I myself do not consider emulators saviours of a system, just look at the PSX and N64 which can be emulated quite good on a fast PC. An emulator can't give you the feeling what the emulated computer can do, it's still a "computer inside a computer" (you can't look into the hardware of the emulated computer, you don't have to know what is in there) but it adds this extra to the computer which is emulating. It's fun using them and developing those emulators (a friend of mine is a bit of making his own emulator, just for himself), but above all, for me it's a way to play all those games I ever wanted to play but didn't want to buy because I was young and didn't have the money to buy games such as Gradius 3 and Castlevania 4. Isn't it a mighty feeling to say you have all Megadrive games on 1 CD and you can play them? :-) Also, most systems nowadays are not available anymore (only on fleemarkets), let alone the software for it. The term "abandonwarez" can apply to those games. Now let's say that you're a fan of Gradius/Nemesis and you want to have all versions of it. You can buy all computers it is released on and find the preferred Gradius or download an emulator and the game. Very easy for people who live in the USA if we talk about MSX. I myself played the NES version of Maze of Galious last year on an emulator, just because I wanted to play a different Maze of Galious (which I still consider as one of the best games of all time). For the sake of nostalgia or completeness, emulators add a usefull contribution to the computer community. Just to show what a certain system was all about back then. Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Konami and Microsoft
Hi there, >>Konami, a large video game publisher based in Tokyo, will publish >>Microsoft's games on systems such as Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation and >>the Sega Dreamcast, Dow Jones News Service reported Tuesday. Microsoft, >>meanwhile, will adapt Konami titles for the personal computer. The >>first titles resulting from the deal will be announced this year. The same happened to FF7, which was adapted by Eidos for the PC, right? And what about the Resident Evil series? I only don't know which Microsoft games there will be to port (a.f.a.i.k. they only made Flight Simulator?). Besides, Konami will have an easy time to convert to Dreamcast, since it's Windows CE based. And doesn't Konami release Gremlin games already in Japan (Actua Soccer)? Funny, my favourite software company joining forces with my personal worst software company (you may consider for yourself which is which :-) ). Hint: Linux rulez. OK, I think it's bad to see a good name such as Konami linked with a dubious company like Microsoft (think Helloween files and the Netscape/IE war). >>Ed Fries, general manager of the Microsoft games business, said the >>deal will help Microsoft develop new sources of revenue for the titles >>already selling on the PC. With other words: make more money and take over a new area of computer entertainment as they did with the Operating Systems and they still try to do with the Internet. Scary... >>Tim Dunley, vice president of marketing at Konami of America in San >>Mateo, Calif., said more of his company's games such as the >>multimillion seller ``Metal Gear Solid'' are aimed at adult audiences, >>making it more sensible to adapt the titles to the PC, which tends to >>draw older players. Poy Poy 2 *grin* >>Both companies also noted that the alliance was a strategy to deal with >>growing consolidation in the games business. I agree, but I think Konami could have made wiser decision with an other company. I think it's a far more better deal for Microsoft since most modern PC games are too advanced for N64 or PSX (I don't know for DC) and since Microsoft doesn't release games as regularly as Konami does, M$ tends to get more money out of it with doing nothing but porting Konami games. And since the DC and PC games can easily be ported, you can guess there will be a lot of DC games from Konami in the future. Also, and this is much more interesting for M$: if the popular Konami games are available on PC, people won't buy a console but a PC, which means the console market will be made smaller (in extremis!) and the PC market will grow, which means: more profit for M$ and their Windows. And in the end there will be only one system: a PC. Micro$ofts device: "If you can't beat them, join them". Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

Hi there, >That's true. MSX games indeed have a certain "magic". I played Dragon Slayer >6 and XAK on the SNES, but it just isn't the same. Maybe it's the music or >maybe it is the graphics. But a fact is that MSX games are best on a real >MSX. I have the same with MSX emulators. That's also not the same as the >real thing. I don't know why. I just feel that way. Maybe that's what they call nostalgia? I agree with you that certain games will be better on an MSX than on other systems. I still get the creeps when I play Metal Gear 2 when guards see mee (I did when Metal Gear (3) Solid was announced, in fact it is the reason I bought a PSX (that and Konami MSX Antiques vol 1, 2 and 3 )). I think it has something to do with playing a game for the first time. If you play it for the second time (and on an other system), you know the storyline already and you pay attention to other things. Just like a remake of an old movie or something. I played Castlevania on the PSX (my first PSX game, because of the audio CD) and that had that "feeling" again. And later, Metal Gear Solid. It is the true sequal to MG2-Solid Snake.

Hi there, I don't want to make this a PSX mailinglist, discussing PSX games and all that :-) but since we are talking about the best softwarehouse on MSX, I think we ought to talk about their latest effords too. >Don't kill me but... I don't like Metal Gear Solid. I see no difference >with the thousands of 3D games already existing. You're crazy!!! :-) No, It's not that it's a 3D game. Hello, it's Metal Gear, the best game on MSX. It's in 3D. It's stealth and high intelligent guards. It's different to those 3D games as Tomb Raider, it's beautifull, it has got atmosphere and a story to die for. It's the sequal to the best MSX game ever. Oh man, the sniper gun... It's like really controlling a sniper gun (if you have a rumble pad)... All that and it has music from Metal Gear 1 in it. Talking about the music: I was first a bit dissapointed in the music of MGS. But later on, I discovered it's great film music instead of game music. I expected MG2 like music, but what we have is music which sets atmosphere. And that's what MGS is about: an interactive film. (good example: when you're in the last building, at the steel factory, you have very "warm" music). But it has many connections with MG2: the Helicopter fight, a key which changes when in different temperatures. But that's because it's a sequal. There are even words about Solid Snake being the male Lara Croft, a computerised sex symbol for female gamers!!! >But... have you seen Gradius Gaiden? It is a TRUE reason for buying a PSX! I know, this one is a beauty. And very difficult!! Aargh. I can't finish it in the easiest mode (*hide*) (I finished Nemesis 3 on MSX).

I forgot the name of the demo, but there were a lot of codes in it, which we hacked with the BertMon (tm). Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Your typical MSX history & hardware setup
Hi there, >Tell me about your history. Nice subject, this, btw. I have some spare time, so I will now write about myself (yawn). Despite of being born in 1974, my first encounter with a computer must be somewhere in 1982 or '83, when my cousin had a ZX Spectrum. I really liked Scuba Diving on that. Later, I met Arnold Oudshoorn (ex-Moonsoft in spe) who showed me some great games like Antartic Adventure and Yie Ar Kung Fu. I was impressed and wanted an MSX. It was not until 1987 that my brother decided to buy a VG8235 MSX2 computer (single sided discdrive). In between those days, I worked with Apple IIe computers at school. Very ancient... I still remember the moment the computer arrived: it was very cold, my hands were frozen and I wanted to use the computer rightaway, but I couldn't because my hands were frozen. Anyway, it wouldn't last long until I had my own MSX, a Sony HP700D with German keyboard (qwertz, in stead of qwerty), some people might have seen this computer run at fairs, it was the computer with the Return key missing. Together with this computer, I got Usas. I recontacted Arnold (who was busy in the demo-scene with Remco Schrijvers under the name of Moonsoft). He showed me some SCC demos and games and I was flabbergasted... Really impressed... like... wow! this is music! I wanted my own SCC cardridge and I traded Usas against Nemesis 3, which was brand new around that time. A friend of ours, Bert, well known for the SCSI interface, build in a connector so I could turn off the Nemesis 3 "boot" and use the SCC for other applications... (illegal copies?? ehm... no :-) ). Later, Bert build in MSX2+ and repaired my computer several times. When the FM Pac was introduced in Japan, Arnold and me got both one via import and were impressed. Especially games which were quite old like Greatest Driver, Psycho World (still one of the best MSX games) and Feedback. At that time, the little documentation we had on MSX Music Basic we used for making demos with FM music. It didn't work though, it was too slow. We must have a program for making FM music with a replayer in ML, so we decided to buy a music program from Engine (the predecessor of their more popular FM Studio or something like that). It sucked, but FST was a lot better, still not perfect for FM Pac. And from there we could make Awesome and with the help of Marco v/d Berg we could make Awesome 2 with stereo music. This was the first step in the direction of Moonblaster. The idea of MoonBlaster started after several problems with FST (the replayer was too slow, FM Pac was not used good in FST, etc.) Remco started with MB and I did the beta testing and giving advice and tips for additions. The rest is MSX history. Too bad Arnold quit Moonsoft during that time, he bought a Megadrive :-( I think I will call him one of these days... He has a PSX now. After MB we wanted to make a game, but it all failed, despite some promising ideas and tests. Partly to do with not having a graphical man (Arnold was gone). Some little demo games were made, like Fairplay and the intro for one of the Sunrise Picturediscs. In '91 our MSX Club Rijnstreek decided to merge with Genic to become Stichting Sunrise. Our goal was to give people information by using the good name of MSX Club Rijnstreek and the quality of the Genic programmers (Genic had some ... dubious... reputation in the past) and their magazine. Too bad some ideas didn't work out well (I miss those club days). We decided to work on the Sunrise Picturedisc, a demodisc with demos from all kinds of MSX groups. It was nice to do, but because of school I had to quit and it was also the end of my MSX activity. The Moonsound was released using the same development phase as MB, where I had to use the Moonsound (and I created most of the sounds of the program, it was exhausting...) But I still have my MSX and I still use it to make music. I don't have the Moonsound, Remco has it, so I use my FM Pac and MSX Audio for it. (Remco is now living in the same flat as Ray from 2 Limited) Now I have the following setup: your standard MSX2 (Sony HBF700D still) with FM Pac and Music Module (like I said: standard), SD Snatcher + SCC, Nemesis 3 + SCC, MSX2+ chips, DOS 2.

AW: AW: msx-ers
Hi there, >Yes, and therefore I'd like to see a Moonblaster version with 18 wave >channels and 6 FM channels. Just to have that great plucked and synth bass 3 >back. Great!!! I made that instrument! Synth bass 3! :) Based it on Plucked 3 and made it a lot fatter. I'm flattered. *sigh* my sole reason to live was to create synth bass 3 :) I personally prefer the FM sound over the wavetable, because you can manipulate and create weird effects with it. It's like analogue and digital synthesisers. People created digital synths to make the sounds more realistic and close to the original, but then they realised the analogue sounds are much more sounds of their own in stead of (for example) a violin. The same can be said about FM and wavetable. It all depends on what you prefer: realistic sounds or self made sounds. Grtz Coen Press F5 to continue MSX Mailinglist.

AW: Legends...
Hi there, >"Legend of Heroes" and "Xanadu". It is very, very, very long >since I last played "Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes" (MSX, >of course), but I don't remember it being called "Dragon Slayer >VI" anywhere. It shouldn't, because it is an independent series No, Legend of Heroes was the subtitle of Dragonslayer 6, just as Sorcerian is Dragonslayer 5. Just look at the logo-screen, just after the text intro, you will see Dragonslayer being mentioned. I believe the japanese PC88 also have these titles. But Dragonslayer 1 has nothing to do with 2 (Xanadu), Dragonslayer 2 has nothing to do with 3 (Romancia), Dragonslayer 3 has nothing to do with 4 (Dragon Family or something), Dragonslayer 4 has nothing to do with 5 (Sorcerian), etc... :-) (old Finkers joke).
