It’s not for Mac OS X :). (Neither is Sjasm, which also does some of the things 
I’d like to do.)

You could give pasmo a try. I've been using that since my move from Linux to 
Mac OS X.


Actually until now I was using Pasmo :). It’s a good assembler, just a 
few things were lacking such as a separated address counter (patch[1] 
:)) and the ability to pass registers to macros / conditions.


And in the end I have been having some ideas for a more advanced 
assembler for a long time, so this seemed like a good opportunity to 
make one.

Plus, it’s good to have a platform of my own that I can develop my ideas 
on. I was thinking of going the macro assembler route, however for 
static analysis it’s better to explicitly code for the Z80 instruction set.


Anyway, let's hope that MSX project of yours is also in a usable state 
in 2 weeks time :P


Hehe, doubt it… Vacation ends in 3 days. And if I keep taking giant

Re: [MSX] Glass Z80 assembler

[Laurens Holst]

Hey,

Thanks for the responses :).

To give a little background; I was actually working on something else 
for the MSX, but then spoiled as I am with modern languages and silly 
things like block scopes and properties and types, I got a bit 
frustrated with the assembler and started to work on Glass :).


For the first version I focused on getting it on par with other 
assemblers in terms of features, so that I could replace my current 
assembler on the afore mentioned project. It supports regular and 
repetition macros, and block scopes. A little more advanced feature is 
that you can reference into scopes by using the dot (.).


I hope to add more advanced features in the future. Some ideas are 
extending macros to make them more useful for class definitions, 
multi-compiling methods (er, procedures), static analysis, automatic 
optimisations, debug output with timing information… Also, the ability 
to pass registers into macros so I can make one for “ld ix,de”, perhaps 
like this: MACRO r1, r2 / ld r1.lsb, r2.lsb / ld r1.msb, r2.msb / ENDM.


@Patriek I was considering Haskell… :) It would be well suited for 
Glass, and I would love the multiple dispatch and tail call 
optimisation. But given my limited experience with the language, it 
would’ve probably taken me 2 months in stead of 2 weeks to get where I’m 
at now. And knowing my attention span… ;p

Re: [MSX] Inkjet printers on MSX

[Laurens Holst]

Hi Werner,

In MCCM, there were one or two articles to print MSX graphics on an HP 
inkjet printer (written by my father and with some contribution from me 
:)). HP inkjet used PCL5, maybe it’s also compatible with other inkjet 
printers.


Anyway, unfortunately I don’t have a scan or remember the issue number, 
my MCCM’s are at my parent’s house… It should become available at some 
point at:


  http://www.msxcomputermagazine.nl/

However I don’t know what the status of that project is at the moment. 
Maybe you can send them an e-mail asking them for it, I’m sure they 
would appreciate the interest. The accompanying files on disk are 
probably a little easier to come by.

Hello,

Do you have any experience on printing with Inkjet printers on MSX ?

For text mode and graphics mode.

Is there any program (Philips VG, Graph Saurus, etc...) capable of
color-printing in an (old) inkjet directly connected to an MSX ?

Thanks,

Re: [MSX] Portable Msx2 U1PRO01Ai ?

[Laurens Holst]

If you take away enough, everything will be MSX-based, as half of the 
systems out there at the time had either a Z80, PSG or VDP in them :).


Anyway, I suppose you could check out a BIOS dump if you could get your 
hands on one, if it’s really closely related to MSX then it should have 
a similar BIOS.

Re: [MSX] Nemesis review

[Laurens Holst]

Nice!

I’ve added your site to the ‘Planet MSX pipe’ on Yahoo.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/grauw/planetmsx

Lemme plug this a little… If you want a nice RSS feed that aggregates 
MSX news from various sources, give it a try :). And if anyone else has 
or knows of an MSX-related website or blog with an RSS feed that is not 
included yet, let me know and I’ll add it.


p.s. Wrt the previous discussion, the web is built on links and 
distribution of concerns. So even when you are not on the same domain, 
you can still cooperate and add value by linking to eachother. Best of 
both worlds! :) I also wish there were more MSX blogs, so if you want to 
start one you have my encouragement!

[MSX] MSX Assembly Page update

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I just published a new article on the MSX Assembly page:

“A guide to scrolling game engines on MSX” 
<http://map.grauw.nl/articles/scrolling.php>


Some additional changes from the past months are:

   * Improved 16-bit division routine performance by 120 T-states,
 thanks to Juha Nurmela.
   * Added Ricardo Bittencourt’s division by 9 routine.
   * Added Zemina mapper details to I/O overview, thanks to Manuel
 Bilderbeek.
   * A new “Contributing” section was also introduced, with information
 to make it easier for people to contribute content to the MSX
 Assembly Page. Maybe it will help some people interested in
 contributing :). The MAP source code is now also publicly
 available at http://hg.grauw.nl/map/ as a Mercurial version
 control repository. (Just to make clear though, note that the MAP
 content is still covered by the usual copyrights.)
   * Did some work on the v9958 application manual HTML-version (still
 not completed, though, ugh it’s big).
   * Fixed some broken links, minor maintenance, general clean-up.
   * The MAP address changed, I am now hosting it on my own web server.

You can find the MSX Assembly Page on this new address:

http://map.grauw.nl/

Check it out, let me know if you have feedback, and update your bookmarks!

10 years is indeed a great track record. What did Tilburg do?

Zandvoort also did 10 years before it turned into Bussum. Jaap was

Very sad news!
On your homepage you mention 1998 being the first year of organizing 
the Bussum fair. If that's true the one in 2008 was the 11th time, not 
the 10th.


Yes I noticed that already and corrected it, it should be 1999 (per 
http://datax.grauw.nl/msxdag/information.html). Always useful to keep 
stuff archived! :) So definitely 10 years.


But yeah a bit sad, but it couldn’t continue forever I guess. Let’s give 
it a positive twist and think fondly of the past 10 years! And look 
forward to other MSX fairs in the future.

[MSX] MSX fair Bussum - this weekend!

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

Hereby a final reminder for the 10th edition of the MSX fair Bussum, 
which is this weekend! Same place, same time. I received one more 
addition to the participants list, the complete (and probably final) 
list of participants looks as follows:


   * TNI
   * Bitwise
   * Byte Reaktor
   * Paragon MSX
   * Delta Soft
   * FiXato & Friends
   * Sunrise Foundation
   * BodyHammeR
   * openMSX
   * Nowind

http://www.tni.nl/products/bussum/

Note that for participants who registered a stand the fair opens at 
8.30, so please don’t arrive too early. The fair opens to regular 
visitors at 10.00. Admission is free. After the regular part has ended 
at approximately 17.00, the mini-MSX Marathon continues until late in 
the evening, where we will likely order some dinner (pizza? :)) again.


Finally, a request: I need someone to assist me on friday 
afternoon/evening with setting up the fair (moving a bunch of tables 
around, basically). Any volunteers?


Well, looking forward to seeing all of you again this saturday! :)

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I’m writing to announce the date for the MSX fair Bussum of 2008:

  September 27th, 2008

The website has been updated as well:

  http://www.tni.nl/products/bussum/

By the way, I just noticed that this is the 20th edition of the fair, 
and the 10th edition of the Bussum location, so this year will be 
special! ^_^

[MSX] MSX Marathon update

[Laurens Holst]

Hi,

A small update on the ‘MSX Marathon’ that takes place after the MSX fair 
Bussum; it will last until about 11 pm. Having an old-fashioned 24-hour 
MSX Marathon is unfortunately not allowed. So if you want to stay late, 
you’ll have to take the last train home or come by car!

[MSX] MSX fair Bussum 2007 registrations

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I have opened the registration form for the MSX fair in Bussum that will 
be held on october 6th of this year. If you would like to reserve some 
stands, please do so at your earliest convenience! :). The fair’s 
website is:


  http://www.tni.nl/products/bussum/


Regards,

~Grauw

p.s. Some people have mailed me that the current date wasn’t entirely 
convenient for them because it was close to or collided with other 
events (to be specific: Retro fair on the sunday after, and Abunai anime 
convention during the same weekend), and I have mentioned looking into 
the possibility of moving it to one week later to them. That hasn’t been 
possible, so the date is still October 6th. I hope you’ll still be able 
to come!

[MSX] MAP Update - JoyNet

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I did a MAP update today; I moved the JoyNet documentation from the old 
archived http://datax.grauw.nl/ location to the MAP, at 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/ . In the process I also cleaned up 
and merged documents, and fixed stuff that was broken, and even 
attempted to add some formal language :).


A lot of stuff with regard to JoyNet disappeared. Oh, the transience of 
the web. Fortunately I was able to retrieve some stuff from the Web 
Archive and my local files. There’s still some things missing though:


- Maarten ter Huurne’s JoyNet test program (I do have the source), 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#tester
- Maarten ter Huurne’s Tetris clone beta 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#tetrisclone
- Ricardo Bittencourt’s JoyWave WAV play thing, 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#joywave
- A bunch of missing F-16 Fighting Falcon (1984) scans from the MSX Core 
Club site (originally), http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#f16
- Connect disk 2 archive (I do have disk 1), 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#connect
- Snafu, the final version (the one from Jaù ’99). I only had the first 
version, http://map.tni.nl/resources/joynet/#snafu


If anyone could help me retrieve those, that would be nice.

So anyway, if you have links to JoyNet, please update them. I believe I 
saw one on the Ultimate FAQ :).


Also I made a few updates to my own website at http://www.grauw.nl/, 
mainly regarding moving stuff from my old archived website to my current 
one.

i also tried it with a real msx disk with a msx program on it that works

i think a msdos-boot-disk is a worth to try. but i actually haven't such

otherwise i must really install win98se on an old computer ...

hi folk,

i will go to japan this fall. does anybody know a good retro store

Heya,

I don’t know specific addresses, but I do know where you can find them;

I’m the most familiar with Osaka; there’s a place called Den-Den Town, 
which is the electronics district, and it’s close to Nanba (one of the 
city centers). The main part consists of one long street, and if you 
walk along that street there are several retro shops. You can 
recognise them by the NES music, old consoles outside, and signs, etc. 
If you walk into a couple of them, some should have MSX stuff (though 
not all do), I think there’s about three of them which have it. 


Ah, I forgot to mention, the main street of Den-Den Town in Osaka is 
called Nipponbashi. There’s a subway stop there, or you can walk towards 
it from Nanba.

In Tokyo, it’s kind of a similar story. Although I’ve been there only 
once, so I don’t really know. Anyway, you want to go to Akihabara 
(Tokyo’s electronics district) and walk around there as well. Along the 
main street I didn’t really see many retro shops, so you probably need 
to go to the side-streets. There’s one shop called Super Potato which is 
on the second floor of a building (iirc), that one has some MSX stuff on 
the third floor. There should be a sign outside. I’m sure there are 
other retro shops as well :) , but I haven’t been to them so you’ll have 
to look around a little.


Hope that helps!

Why don't you change the MAP into a wiki? MAP is a great resource, but
it could be better if there were more updates, and currently your free

bottleneck, as anyone could make an update.


Yes, I was thinking about that too. My primary objection with a wiki 
is the lack of semantic XHTML purity (instead using some awkward

I was also considering some php.net-like commenting system, which works

Hello MSX users

I have a question for DOS2 slot management.

According to the manual, application program does not need to restore

But it seems not correct.. because when my program changes the slot

corrupted. When it restores that slot to the main RAM slot and exit,
it's ok.

Do you have any experience about that? What is the truth..?
  


My experience is the same.

Iirc, I’ve even had similar problems with not restoring the original

Hi all,

Somewhat bad news, the confirmation wasn’t as solid as I thought, and 
due to stricter regulations with regard to permits we can only stay at 
the MSX Marathon until 1 am. :(


People who do not have transportation or prefer to drive on sunday 
morning can stay the night at my parent’s house. We have plenty of room,

Hi all,

The list of participants for the MSX fair in Bussum has been updated. 
You can find it at:

With regard to the MSX Marathon, we still need confirmation, but by 
popular request it is the intention to have it last until the morning 
after all. So there will very likely be a real MSX Marathon again this year!


By the way, it would be appreciated by the organisation if those who 
want to register for a booth at the Bussum fair would do so as early as 
possible. Thanks :).

One topic that is still under discussion is whether the MSX Marathon

[MSX] MSX Marathon 2006 poll

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

With this message I’d like to poll the interest in a full MSX Marathon, 
meaning having it last until sunday morning.


Just like last year, I plan to have the MSX Marathon last until saturday 
evening, and not until sunday morning. The reason for this is that as I 
mentioned earlier, I am going to be studying in Japan for a year, and I 
want to make sure I have enough time to make preparations.


If there is a lot of interest however, I’ll consider making it last 
until sunday after all. So let me hear when you would stick around until 
sunday morning, and what your arguments in favour or against are.

[MSX] MSX Fair Bussum update

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I just want to give a small update on the MSX fair in Bussum;

(Hopefully) I am going to study in Japan for a year. If all goes well, 
this should start in October. However because I still need to be 
accepted by the university of Kyoto university, planning in the long 
term is unfortunately a bit difficult for me right now :).


I do intend to have an MSX fair in Bussum this year, however due to the 
abovementioned plans it should be a little earlier than usual, in early 
September. Before I can finalise things in this regard however I want to 
have confirmation from Kyoto, which I will hopefully receive soon.


I’ll keep you updated, and will try to announce a fair date as soon as 
possible.

MRC Challenges on MSX Valley

Since 2003, the MSX Resource Center starts different challenges to 
promove the MSX Revival. This excellent initiative has proven the 
vitality of the MSX community as he has given some very interesting 
demos and games.


You can now find on MSX Valley zipped disk images that are ready to be 
runned in your preferred emulator. It concerns the demos of the 
following challenges : Scroll and Logo, Snowfall, Under Water and 
Bounce. All the demos are illustrated by screenshots and in some 
cases, you can also download MP3 files.


All the MP3 files are the result of the conversion of WAV files 
created by using the blueMSX emulator. The format of the screenshots 
is the small blueMSX format (272x240), even if some screenshots have 
been made on another emulator.


Other MRC challenges will follow in the future on MSX Valley.

I checked out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles map to see how far in the

[MSX] MSX fair Bussum 2005

[Laurens Holst]

Hi all,

I’m writing to announce that the date of the MSX fair is now fixed:

Date: October 1st, 2005 (2005-10-01).
Time: From 10.00 to 17.00
Location: Same as always

I will be going on vacation shortly, and after that I will update the 
website and provide more details, and send reservation forms to all 
participants from last year.


One thing in particular to note: this year, the fair will only be on 
saturday. That is, the fair *will* continue after 17.00 as a 
semi-‘marathon’, but it will only last to about 23.00. The reason for 
this is that the day after, I have family obligations. The marathon will 
return next year in all its glory :).

This is pretty important information if you want to replay samples on 
the PSG :). It is also quite unfortunate, because a lot of resolution 
is lost (if there’s much amplitude, one doesn’t benefit much from 
being able to have more details in the low amplitude ranges). I’m 
guessing that a 4-bit sample played on the PSG is in fact pretty much 
comparable to a 3- or 2-bits one replayed on a common linear DAC.



Another update:

I have now also included information on how to play 8-bit samples on 
your PSG.


Many thanks again to Arturo Ragozini, it is pretty impressive stuff :). 
Note however that all of this is theoretical, and hasn’t actually been 
tried out ^_^. It should work, but if you encounter any problems or have

Hi all,

doesnât take 1 T-state :)).
I have now also added the undocumented Z80 and the R800 instructions to 
the instruction set overview. Iâve also added R800 timing information.

However, I still need details on the turboRâs wait state insertion 
policy. The current content is just a wild guess. If anybody can point 
me to or send me some resources which explains the timing in detail, 
that would be appreciated.

The first sequence of instructions are only faster if both A and HL are

Thanks! Though itâs only 3 states, as Iâm also counting the additional

Recently I added the old Datax products to my website:

Oh, sorry. I didn't wrote a spanish version, but only in Portuguese and 
English. I can read Spanish fairly well, but writing an entire article 
like that in Spanish is somewhat away from my knowledge in this language.
Maybe some native spanish speaker here could help us translating it.
Well, actually, I can read neither Spanish nor Portuguese. As a matter 
of fact, this nicely showed that I canât even distinguish among them :).

Iâm Dutch, but I hadnât noticed that there was an English version of the 
article as well. So hence the confusion :).


Ah, I see :).
Too bad it isnât just a matter of replacing the existing BIOS ROM... 
That wouldâve been easy ;p.
It's pretty easy, in fact. On the article describes three methods (in 
fact, two ;) for building the hardware part of the upgrade. The 1st 
method needs very low hardware knowledge and skills, since you only will 
need to burn the EPROM and stack 2 CIs over it. The soldering skills 
needed are no more than those necessary to upgrade the SampleRAM to 256KB.
Oh, I can do that :). But I have no EPROM burner... will have to ask 
someone else for that then.

Oh, heh :). My Spanish, eh ;p.

The BIOS ROM I created is generic, it will work in any MSX Y8950-based device. 
The
problem is that it has some special requirements:
1) Must be mapped on h-7fffh
2) It needs 4KB of RAM mapped on the same slot of the BIOS, on 3000h-3fffh and
mirrored on 7000h
The article shows how to build a little hardware-kit to achieve this on the 
Philips
Music-Module. But I donÂt have any Toshiba HX-MU900 to develop the hardware-kit 
for
it, and this is one of the rare situations I canÂt use openmsx to do the job.
Ah, I see :).

Hi all,
I'm very proud to announce the conclusion of my latest project: The 
MSX-Audio BIOS upgrade for the Philips Music-Module.

With this upgrade the Music-Module will become a 100% MSX-Audio 
compliant device. It wasn't until now because it lacked the BIOS.

With this BIOS upgrade installed, your Music Module will be able to play 
ANY BASIC music written for the MSX-Music just by changing the CALL 
MUSIC command to CALL AUDIO. The ADPCM commands are also available and 
play/record Samples assincronously on BASIC.

All Compile DiskStations and almost all Compile Games will automatically 
detect and use your Music-Module now too.

The upgrade is very simple and (IMHO) easier to install than the 256KB 
SampleRAM tutorials published on the net.

You can get more details and see the entire article on www.msxpro.com, 
on the session Hardware->Projetos.
Wonderful!

I think the policy of English is fine, however not allowing
