Mallorca -> any MSX users left?
Hi, I remember a site (last updated in 1999) about a user group there. Mesxes was his name I believe. Anyway, I fly off to Mallorca next week, it would be nice to meet some (old?) MSX users there and make some article about it for msx.org later. Let me know if such users still exist. I can bring with me some needed/wanted MSX stuff if I can it on time. Ofcourse it would be handy if they can tell me about the underground scene and were the women are too ;-) Thanks, Sander [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

Hi Eric and all, Where are your glasses? Sander Zuidema is busy with that, not me ;-) Confusing indeed, also because he also joined msx.org as a webmaster. (Wich I don't mind btw :-) But, maybe Sander Zuidema should also put a request for those chips at smallbuys.co.uk. Then everybody can go there to order those chips.

Re: PSG R#14 bit 6?
JIS means Japanese Industrial Standard. The new Japanese Industrial Standard for a coded character set, JIS X0213 (an enhancement to the current X0208), has been established on January the 21th, 2000. (Don't now wich version of JIS MSX uses, but probably an older definition of the character set) Each Japanese character is expressed in the computer by two consecutive bytes and is shown on the screen occupying two alphanumeric positions. The Japanese character set defines 6,355 Kanji (Chinese) characters for computer processing (JIS Code). In comparison, 7,445 characters (GB Code) and 13,523 characters (Big 5 code) are used in mainland China and Taiwan/Hongkong, respectively.

Re: Ascii's rumours about 'new MSX'...
Well Agony, Maybe you can clarify some things. -There will be a emulator first. So far so good. But there wasn't any prototype the could show. Do you know anything about release dates? Is it still ready in one month? Or is it vaporware a la Microsoft? You told us that ASCII doesn't want to wait with releasing a new MSX, ESE or Sega will win based on wich of the two will come up with something working first. This news doesn't fit with the anouncement about making a emulator first. Suppose the emulator is ready, and we can buy old software online. After that step, will we get a one chip msx or a new msx? Help us out here, we are confused. It seems to me that Nishi told you a different story than what he lectured at the fair. The impression we get here is that Nishi doesn't know what to do.

Re: Martos
I think that there isn't ANY valid reason to say that pirating -for any system- is good for the system. That's just bullshit. If there are less copies sold of a program, the program will be more expensive for the people who want to buy it. Developing games just cost a lot of money. And developers want to see some money back from there hard work. Earning big bucks with selling hacked games is a step further. I saw people playing Martos hacked games here in Holland while Homesoft was still importing games, some konami's for as low as $25. People were selling Martos pirated copies for $10 back then..

And besides all that, the translations of Ikeda MSX print (or the original text) aren't always very clear. Furthermore, only a few people have good contacts with Japanese MSX users. The spread the news, but often not on this mailinglist. So, when you actually hear some news, it's news that past a lot of people, and often it's not completely correct when most Dutch or English speaking people hear it. In Ikeda MSX print, for example, there is a line that says: "We had also hoped to interchange thoughts with Sunrise and Leonardo Padial from Spain about which kind of CPU and soundchip will be implemented and what kind of harddisk interface could be used best, but it seemed to us that they had very little interest in this new MSX project." But, if I remember correctly, some guy from Sunrise (sorry, I forgot your name) wrote that this wasn't correct: they spoke with the Japanse guys after the fair. Furthermore, I've mailed a contact working with ASCII, and he says ASCII isn't involved in any new MSX development, and never will. However, ASCII didn't reply my question if some Japanse usergroup is busy with developing a new MSX and if ASCII has given them the rights to do so. So let's hope for the best. I would be nice however, If some English speaking Japanese MSX user joined this mailinglist to provide us with up to date news about the MSX situation in Japan. Then nobody on this list has to wonder what's really going on there. And about the rest: You can't blame us for being sceptic. I remember some promises companies made in the past about developing a new european MSX2+ computer. I haven't seen that one yet ;-) Hmm, MSX Basic booting with copyright 2000 by ASCII.

Yamaha SFG-05
Hi everyone, Yesterday I bought a SFG-05 on a local fair. I thought that you could only use this module in a Yamaha cxm MSX computer. But, a few months ago, I bought a Yamaha YIS503F msx 1. Today I noticed that the Yamaha yis also had the same 60 pin cartridge slot on the bottom. I removed the cartridge that was already there (a 32KB memory expansion), And I placed the SFG-05 instead of that memory expansion. I turned on the MSX, and did a _music in basic. There came a menu where you can edit the fm sounds that are in the cartridge. I have a few questions: I've read in the article on Alex his page that you need a extra cartridge to be able to access the fm module through it's build in MIDI ports, it's called the 'YRM-502 FM Voicing Program II' cartridge. Does someone has such a cartridge? Do I really need one? Has anyone got the keyboard that works with the module? How do I get sound out of it? Lot's of options in the menu's but I don't have the manual of this cartridge. Is someone willing to scan his manual? ;-) The box says: DISK compatible. However, in the menu I only see the option to write to tape. I have a Toshiba external ss drive. I know that some Belgium guy wrote some custom software for this cartridge once. Anyone know about this. Furthermore: After looking at some Japanese pages and a good look at the yis503 photo's on funet, I think that the whole range of cxm* and yis* all have the same 60 pin slot on the bottom and that the SFG-05 can be used with a lot more Yamaha MSX1 and MSX2 computers. The MSX FAQ needs to be changed on this subject. Maybe anyone can acknowledge this. Lot's of questions, I hope someone can answer a few. Thanks, Sander I've heard that pin 11 till 60 on the cartridge are pin compatible with the 50 pins of a normal MSX cartridge and that you can make a cable to connect the module to any MSX you want.

Re: Info concerning 'new MSX'
Mass production makes computers cheap. The question is: will any company make that much MSX computers? Maybe there will a new -out of the box- MSX computer. But I don't think it will be cheap. Because there is no market. We have moonsound, Graphics 9000, padial's z380 etc. Are those hardware extensions cheap? Nope. Why? Because the market is to small. I agree that the MSX computer is a HC. But children these days are learning on the PC at school , not on a MSX. There is more software for children on the pc now, than there ever was for the MSX. I don't think ASCII and ESE can beat mass production prizes to give the MSX a big marketshare what it needs to survive on the long term. Look at the trouble the Dreamcast has to get enough software developers for there system. Everybody knew Sony whould beat them with the Playstation2 before it was launched. And with DVD and Broadband modems people will buy a playstation2 sooner than a new MSX. - Original Message - From: "ag0ny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Funny how developers seem to 'go back to the future' .. first homecomputers > > were made, easy to set up, plug into TV set and run it. then came PCs, > > seperate machines, requiring a seperate space... and now everything is going > > back to the first again... > > Yes, this is why MSX can succeed if somehow ASCII manages to release a new > generation: cheaper and easier to program. It will only succeed if there will be enough software developers developing for the system. And that's why Microsoft is developing a game machine that's compatible with pc's: they know developers will not start to develop for a new machine if they can't port there code easy. Metal Gear Solid costed about $2.500.000 to develop. Do you really think any big software developer will put that kind of money in a new system if they aren't sure that they will earn a few bucks? If there is a market for a homecomputer, why did only Panasonic develop a new MSX (turbo R)? And why did they left MSX for 3DO? Because there wasn't a market anymore. And they hadn't any return of investment anymore too. Why did Commodore stop with the Amiga range? Why did Atari stop with the 1024? Why did sharp stop with the X68000? Bad marketing? Maybe that was a part of it. But the big reason was that the PC computer, because of mass marketing, went cheaper and cheaper, more people bought it, and more and more software came available for cheaper prices. The only way to get a MSX in peoples homes is to cloak it in some other device. And even then (think about the Commodore CDTV and Philips CDI) you have a small change of succeding. If there is a new MSX, say MSX3, and it looks like a real MSX HC, I'm sure some of us will buy it. I will, if it's not to expensive. And, maybe there will be a Moonlight Saga 2 for it and a few tools. But it won't be cheaper than a PSX2 or the cheapest pentiumII pc with a Nvidia Gforce. The schools I know, use computers that learn children how to use computers when they go to the next school, at home and when they go to work in the end when they have growned up. That is a pc for 99% and a few macintosh computers here and there. If you visit www.amiga.com, you can read that they are busy with re-introducing a new amiga. It uses pc hardware, and it will run Linux as the operating system. Why? read this article again.. Maybe we can safely conclude that the HC era is over, not for us, but for the big market. Can ASCII and ESE restart this era? Let's pray for it. -Sander MSX Mailinglist.

Both are undesirable. > > A license fee may be a problem for ESE, but why should it be a problem for > Frontline/ASCII? Indeed. And I don't think Panasonic will produce a machine with hardware that could be the subject of a lawsuit from Yamaha. Imagine, that Yamaha wins the case by Japanese law! Panasonic then has to withdraw the new MSX from the shops. I don't see this happen. Personally, I think that ESE is developing a new MSX, they have permission from ASCII, they don't know if they may produce a MSX VDP clone and hopefully Panasonic will produce the new machine. Developing a new MSX cost a lot of money, but producing and distributing also costs a lot of money. And then you need service centres to setup and or train. You need to find retailers who are willing to sell the new MSX computer and software companies that are willing to produce software for the computer. The last TurboR machines where going over the counter for only a fraction of the initial retail cost. Because nobody wanted to buy such a computer anymore in Japan. Now you can buy complete Pentium II pc's starting at prices of $500, PlaystationII for $400, Dreamcast machines for $300. Will Panasonic invest a few billions for producing a MSX computer that only a few people will buy? I hope so, but I don't think so. Will ASCII encourage people that want to produce new hardware for the MSX or a complete new MSX? I think so, yes. The only way to make the new MSX a success is to produce a machine that is cheap, uses advanced hardware, and is somehow compatible with -say- directX (dreamcast, PC, MS X-Box) so that games easely could be ported from other platforms, has a DVD player, so that people will buy the system sooner because they know that if no software is produced for the system, they still can use it as a dvd player, has a build in mpeg layer III decompressor chip (another reason for people to take a change and buy the system) In other words: make the system compatible, and give it hardware people want and use today. Panasonic is making DVD players today, it won't be much of a problem for them to produce a DVD player with a mpeg layer III decompression and compression chip, with -let's say a 100Mhz z380 when this chip comes-, a advanced VDP, a good audio chip, a bios and operating system so that you can use the system as an advanced MSX(3?) compatible device and interfaces and connectors to plug in a monitor and keyboard and other hardware devices. Then you would have a change. Greetings, Sander > > > 3) ESE believes that if they clone the VDP and simply start producing it, > > that they might get sued by Yamaha.

I would be great if we could use such a device to transfer files between the pc and msx. Like the interface I had to transfer files between the pc and my snes. A lot of new applications for the MSX can then be make, like a terminal server where the msx can be a graphical terminal client. Or, and this is an idee that I and Jacco of Jinnovation (formerly know as JBsoft) has been walking with for a long time: to make a MSX multiplayer game. The plan was to connect two to four MSX machines to a PC through such an interface. The pc then act as the server for the game and calculates all the data needed for the MSX machines who are clients of that pc. Game data like the position of the players in a level etc. etc. The only thing you need is this interface, the software and a few more parallel ports on the pc. (you can buy parallel port boards with 2 extra ports for a few bucks) I'm sure he'll make the pc portion of the interface software if this project is going to continue.

viewing japanese msx-sites with Win95
Hello there, Maybe this is old news but, I know that some of us tried/ are trying to learn some kana. And maybe a lot of us are using windows 95 uk/us/eur version with netscape 2.0 or higher. I have always wanted to view those japanese sites with some japanese character sets, but netscape only showed me rubbish. I could get a copy (orgininal or a real copy, at a moment I didn't care anymore) because Microsoft in the Netherlands didn't know of the exsistence of the package and they didn't want to do any work getting one. Now, still searching, I found the site of twinbridge at www.twinbridge.com The have a shareware version of twinbridge, originally a wordprocessor to get without costs. I have download it (for windows 3.1 AND windows 95), installed it, selected S-JIS japanese encoding and started Netscape 3.0 beta 5 (should work with other versions as well, I think). I tried some japanse site's and: IT WORKED !! and at no costs! No expensive import japanese windows! I am going to take a lot at some old kana writings :) I hope this information helps some people.

Hello and question (fwd)
Hello everybody, Gigamix Japan has yellow pages. On this pages (it's in Japanese) there are a lot of email addresses of net-msx'ing people and what they do or want to do or what they know about msx related stuff _and_ want to answer questions about. I am wondering if such a list would be helpful in the West. Think about it. I know that there are a lot of netmsx-ers who don't have the time or resources to make a homepage, but would like to exchange knowledge, idea's etc. Please send me your comments and /or suggestions. If I get enough feedback I am gonna make one. Maybe with an authentification option to avoid netabuse, I don't know yet. Please give me input. I know that there are some addresses in the faq. But I want people who are still doing something with msx at the moment, or planning to do so in the future. I think the faq is rather outdated on this subject and also a bit short on descriptions. I was thinking about some type of form like this: Name: System(s): Wants to do: Knowledge of: Member of: Country: Area: Email address: Homepage: etc. etc. Please tell me what I forgot. Note: I wont use any of the above information for a spam of any kind (this mail is spamming enough ;-) All information given to me stays of the Internet until we have decided together how to fill in the web page (that is, if there is going to be any. That depends on you also :-) And: If you have information related to the MSX system that you think is Interesting enough for a greater MSX public, but you don't have the time or diskspace to publish it on the web, contact me. If you give it to me in ascii or html form, I try to publish it for you.

SCSI talking :time 4 a FAQ?
Hello Everybody, With all this talk about different SCSI interfaces and devices and how it all works, I was wondering if it could be a good idea to make a little FAQ about. I had the following subjects in mind (in random order): MSX SCSI FAQ: -the existing interfaces. -the differences between them -where to buy -how to connect ZIP drives, harddisks, cd-rom -where to find drivers and bios updates -Problems with the different SCSI interfaces -How to avoid/solve those problems -SCSI utilities. Which ones works with wich interfaces and must haves. Most of these subjects have been discussed before so it shouldn't be much work. If everyone with knowlegde of one of the above mentioned subjects picks that subject it's done before you know it. In this way we have a nice new doc for msx users and it helps answering the same questions over and over again. If I had any good knowledge about the above subjects, this faq was already done. I'm willing to make a new section at www.msx.org for this documentation and -hopefully- future ones. All people involved will be mentioned in the documentation with direct email/url links on the page. How about it?

Let's spend our energy on the platform. Not that I disagree on the subject, but there are other (much better) mailinglists available to discuss this. When you recieve over 150 emails a day, out of bound messages are time consuming. Hmm, maybe I should put some names in my procmail config..

The purpuse of these kind of messages is to create a mailbomb, thousands of emails, send to all smtp servers around the world. And hoping that some of those systems crash. There is no such thing as a virus in a email. There can be virusses in email-attachments and therefore you need a virusscanner. But not in the body of a email. The spreading of this email is a virus. Please do not send such messages any further. -Sander MSX Mailinglist.
