| | | | Monday, March 08, 2010 - 22:58 Submitted by: wolf_ Topic: MSX Resource Center | | The new website, MRC2k10 (previously known as MRC2k9, also known as MRC2k8, initially planned as MRC2k7) is on its way. But until its release, we're stuck with MRC2k2. We won't spend too much time on tweaking old code, but a desperate howl from the Spanish section touched Jorito (our website maintainer and 2k10 builder) deeply. And so, as of today, the Spanish forum has four sections instead of one. The new sections are General, Software and Gaming, Hardware and Trading and Collecting. The latter was the primary reason for these sub sections. It turns out the Spanish are vivid MSX traders! For everyone who speaks the language: have fun with these new forums!

The game was met with much enjoyment by the visitors, Spectrum users liked it too.
Invasion of the Zombie Monsters MSX cartridge is available for order at Matra for €20 (excluding shipping costs), and mayhaps later at Bitwise too.

| | Invasion of the Zombie Monsters, an upcoming MSX / Spectrum platform game by Relevo Videogames (a fork of Karoshi), was previewed today on the Spanish gaming website Metodologic.
The preview, accompanied with screenshots, discusses its difficult and addictive gameplay, reminiscent of and seemingly inspired from classic arcade games like Legend of Hero Tonma and Ghosts 'n Goblins. If Google's translation is correct, it also mentions large end of level bosses and multi layered scrolling. Read on if you understand Spanish.

| | Spanish composer commandcom has finished his E.P., a Konami tribute containing three well known MSX themes. In this collection you'll find the modern James Bond styled Difficult Move (SD Snatcher), Power of Anger (Salamander) and Stage one of King Kong II. All songs feature consistent production values and are well worth the download - which is free anyway, so what are you waiting for?

| | Friday, February 26, 2010 - 17:21 Submitted by: hap Topic: Translations | | Zukkoke Yajikita Onmitsudoutyuu (ずっこけやじきた隠密道中 if you know how to read it), an MSX2 RPG by HAL, was translated to English recently and published earlier today on DJANGO's blog. Perhaps DJANGO's incentive is to let another translator continue where he left off. If it's not and you don't mind playing an unpolished partial translation, Djanglish will be your favourite word of today.
French users that can't understand most of this newspost without Google's help will be happy to see that DJANGO is also working on French translations of Konami's Uşas, King's Valley II, and King Kong 2.

However it's not the easiest program to get started with because of all the features it includes.
To make things a bit easier, NYYRIKKI has created a series of videos to demonstrate Super-X. Currently there are only three videos online, but more will follow if people find them useful.

| | Friday, February 26, 2010 - 14:14 Submitted by: Hydragon Topic: Emulation | | The road to a new major openMSX release is as adventurous as an RPG. During the epic journey to openMSX 0.8.0, the barbarians, mages, archers, necromancers and elfs of the team gradually show new features in their so called dev versions. After a period of less activity, CheatMSX finally managed to put up a recent openMSX dev version, built for Win32 and Mac OSX.
A new feature, demonstrated at the recent Nijmegen fair, is the Reverse Timeline bar, from which you are able to jump to another scene in an instant. You don't have to download the standalone executable for LaserDisc anymore, because LaserDisc has been merged in the Win32 packages as well.
Naturally, if you discover anything spooky in this dev version, you can help the developers by joining their development IRC channel, accessible from CheatMSX.
