With the first round of one on one-voting done, a "too close to call" situation arose in our quest for the Best MSX demo ever. As a result, there are now still 26 (instead of the expected 24) demos running in our megapoll. You can help us determine which is the best MSX demo ever by submitting a votesheet in this forum topic.
MSX Taper 1.10
A new version of MSX Taper has just been released.
Metalion just released VRAM depacker routines for BitBuster v1.2 and Pletter v0.5b, which work on all MSX models. These direct VRAM depacker routines are a first release, as they work only on VRAM addresses up to $3FFF. New releases working on all the VRAM space are planned to be released in the next few weeks.
fMSX 3.5.1
Exactly one week after the release of fMSX 3.5, Marat Fayzullin brings us fMSX 3.5.1. This minor update fixes an fMSX-Unix memory corruption bug found by cax.
MSX Posse has published yet another video from Kier Kracht's massive MSX video collection. This time, the video is about a club meeting from MSX Club Friesland-Noord, held in 1993.
Within 20 hours after starting round 2, the 11 votes necessary to decide which 48 out of 71 demos move on to the "one on one style" third rounds had been cast. Now, we are ready for the really tough task.
Sunrise has just informed us that the new batch of Manbow 2 is ready. The game comes on a brand new cartridge with label and manual. Those who have reserved Manbow 2 already have received a personal email. For those who didn't: make haste ordering if you want to have your own Manbow 2!
Time flies when you're having fun: the first round of voting in our quest for the Best MSX demo ever has already been closed. All entries have now moved on to the second round, in which they will compete in a different order. Only the top 66% of both rounds combined will move on to the third round.
A new month, a new poll! Prior to presenting the new poll, let's have a look at the outcome of the poll from January. How should the MSX evolve?
meisei 1.0.2
A new version of meisei has been released. This emulator gained quite some attention during its first release as it has a number of unusual features such as mirroring the screen and a back-in-time feature to create perfect speedruns.
