I wanted to see what people are/might work on for Franky. I think there are different categories of projects:
* Conversion of SMS game to MSX/Franky
* Conversion of MSX game to SMS/Franky
* Rename (enhancement) of MSX game
Plus others like:
* 1 chip MSX support
* Emulator support
* development of MSX/SMS cross platform development tools/libraries
There are many interesting games on SMS to be converted to MSX, I think things like Phantasy Star is amazing on the SMS (if you haven't seen it, you must.) There are many well known titles that was never available/badly done on MSXs, I was interested in Populous, Prince of Persia and many arcade conversion titles.
The other way around kind of overlaps with the remake category.
Smooth scrolling versions of games like Gradius, R-Type etc.
While waiting to get hold of a Franky, I thought I'd buy a SMS and a few games to see what it is capable of (I did used to have GG and Megadrive but never played on a SMS.) I was surprised to see that it felt very much like a MSX2 (graphics and games wise). I always thought of SMS as a poor cousin to Megadrives, so the games do feel like a cheap/quick conversions, sound is often poor and cut down game contents. But I think the hardware is quite capable, and a properly developed game should be able to offer so much more than NES games. And there are so many titles available on SMS it would be cool to see all those converted for Franky/MSX.
