It's March 5th and finally there it is: the MSX Download Charts - our monthly overview of which files from our freeware MSX downloads corner have been downloaded the most in the past month.
On the 27th of June this year, the 25th anniversary of our beloved MSX will be celebrated. At Konamito.com this is celebrated by an MSX-BASIC game competition. A maximum of ten lines of BASIC code is allowed, other than that, the theme is free to choose but there are some other rules to be obeyed when participating.
Only a couple of years ago, MSX cartridges belonged only to a distant past. But now, thanks to the efforts of skilled people in the MSX community, the cartridge production has strongly increased.
The MSX Cartridge Shop is a new web page dedicated to new products on cartridge for MSX.

TwoFun beta
For a while already, classic MSX soundchips rule the scene again. Partly due to the MSXdev contests and partly due to the availability of such tools as Vortex Tracker, the PSG is currently in its renaissance days.
SjASM 0.4 beta 1
The Dutch duo XL2s has released a beta version of their cross-development assembler SjASM. SjASM is a two pass macro Z80 assembler which runs on Windows or Linux. As it's a beta version, 100% stability isn't yet guaranteed. However, for those who are nonetheless interested there is Win32 build and a Debian Linux build to download!
