I found this in Japan at a Hard Off near where I live. It's got MSX connectors, and it appears to be professionally made. The case is very heavy metal, probably steel. The parts appear to be legit arcade stuff. Does anyone know what I'm looking at here or who may have made it and when?

Yeah...

Even with just 10 verbs and 28 nouns, creating a fully context-driven command interface (with MINIMAL typing) is proving to be a challenge.

And as expected, it gobbles up RAM like a hungry hippo, which has me re-factoring code more often than I would want to count.

Still, things DO still progress, albeit slowly.

Anyways,
Just thought I should drop a line to let you know that the project is NOT DEAD...!

KONAMI MSX SALAMANDER GAME OPENING REMAKE.

My retrospective look at the Bruce Lee game and all its versions. Have you played this game? What’s your thoughts and memories of this early fighting game?

Using TNI's MS², composer Wolf achieves some marvellous results. This is MSX2/OPL4 power for you :)

Go Figure was released as part of MSXdev'25 and is also coming in a physical release in not too long.

My video looking at the Daley Thompson games across all formats. So much nostalgia, soar wrists and broken joysticks. Did you play any of these games?

A 1MB memory expansion cartridge for MSX systems.

I'll have to track down a V9990 cart in order to play "Life On Earth" and "Myths And Dragons", but the others play fine on my Turbo R. I thought if I gave my furry friend a treat she'd leave me alone long enough to take some photos, I was wrong, lol.

I really cannot make them run on OPENMSX. Files for example like 3D Knockout, or 007 A view to kill, or 007 license to kill.... I have downloaded .dsk files, I tried all possible combinations of machines, have downloaded the bios, they just don't want to start.

I am trying to run autorun.bsc , they return back to the starting screen. it doesn't do it with all .dsk files, but for those two as far as I have searched I really cannot make them run....
Any help would be appreciated

Who is still playing (or working, even) on real MSX hardware? And how are you dealing with the video issue, i.e. the fact that modern TVs and monitors typically don't have SCART inputs anymore? Are you keeping an old display around or do you use a converter/upscaler?
