Hi,
As far as I know, the best way to make programs to detect an emulator,
is checking the VDP timing. So do a copy, and see how much time it takes
to finish. Something like that.

Ok, in this case we would want it to let it through, but I bet this filter

Hi,
Some time ago, I had a big mess on my desk which accidentally removed half
of my IDE cartridge from my msx (a philips nms8220). In the other slot I
had my gfx9000. I didn't notice, so I switched it on and didn't get
anything useful on the screen. So I checked it out and found the problem.

Hi,
For those of you who know sourceforge: I just started a new project there,
called `the MSX Z80 assembler'. It is an opensource initiative to make a
cross assembler with the MSX as target platform. Currently it is written
in C, POSIX compiant I hope.
I still need 2 things to be done though. I

That's less than 8 euros, right? In that case, I want 4 :)
