Websites - MSX Web Quiz #2

Ricardo Bittencourt has made a new quiz to test your MSX knowledge skills. The quiz focuses on the 'A' character. Are you able to identify the 'A' and come up with the name of the game it belongs to? Thrill and suspense await you!

I am les miserable, 10/21 and then I gave up..
By Zezus on September 18 2008, 23:12
Got 20/21
Missing only number 8...

By [D-Tail] on September 18 2008, 23:32
I'd really like to know 6, 8, 10, 13 and 19. Of course, I'm at 16/21
Quote:

I know the meaning of ESSCCCFFFF

And I use that all too often
Quote:

I don't need Momoko, Chie or Akemi.

That's right, Syuko and Chiaki are far more necessary

Really brilliant, this kind of quote system! Thanks, Ricardo!

I only got 8, though I'm pretty sure that #14 is 'treasure of usas' (even though the program says the name is wrong?)
By [D-Tail] on September 19 2008, 00:09
Try all possible spellings, such as adding 'the' in front
By Zezus on September 19 2008, 01:08
Got 21/21! Finally, I can go to sleep!
I AM A MSX GOD!

brill quiz, I suck.

I recognize lots of'm but can't name'm (my mem is leaking.... not far from braindead)
By manuel on September 19 2008, 23:52
I'm also an MSX God! 21! 17 by heart, 2 by quickly searching GenMSX, 1 by searching a bit more and one by browsing loads and loads of games. But OK, I can go to sleep now as well

Great quiz!

The original (japanese) name of game #14, is just "UŞAS", and not "The treasure of UŞAS". Even on the european box and in it's manual, only "UŞAS" is mentioned. The only time the game is called "The treasure of UŞAS", is on the start-up screen, when you play the game on a non-japanese MSX.

By the way, I got 15/21. Hmmm... could be better..
By viejo_archivero on September 21 2008, 08:54
Erm, do I really know the meaning of "ESSCCCFFFF"?? Anyway, nice quiz!

Type this at the title screen of Yie Ar Kung Fu 2, and be amazed

Only 9. I'm getting old.

Please, next quiz: "How many TCP/IP stacks have you developed for MSX?", so I can regain my honor...
By ARTRAG on September 24 2008, 18:49
hummm, I did 2 only....
Oo

PS
Ricardo on your site (http://www.700km.com.br/mundobizarro/) I read:

/* A no intervalo 0-255 */
return ((input&7)==7)||((input&7)==0);

INC A
AND 7
RRA
CP 1

/* A no intervalo 0-7 */
return ((input&7)==7)||((input&7)==0);

LD H,A
SUB 7
DEC H
SUB H

Are you sure the C functions represented by the ASM are both correct ?

Please post more results from your Super Otimizador!
They are true gems of ASM.

What about testing it against these functions ?

#define is_range0(x) ((x) < 2)
#define is_range1(x) (((x) & ~1) == 2)
#define is_range2(x) (((x) & ~3) == 4)
#define is_range3(x) (((x) & ~7) == 8)
#define is_range4(x) (((x) & ~15) == 16)
#define is_range5(x) (((x) & ~31) == 32)
#define is_range6(x) (((x) & ~63) == 64)
#define is_range7(x) ((x) > 127)

Ricardo, your site rocks!
By ricbit on October 06 2008, 04:21
The C functions should be correct, indeed. The first version is the result of the function when A can take all possible values (0-255), and the second is a bit faster, but require A to be in the interval 0-7 (and will give wrong answers outside this range).

I'll run your suggestions and see what happens
