I mean,c64 and atari are already remanufactured and built into these joysticks that you can attach to your tv...also I know EA is building such a console (jeroen tel is doing music for old retrogames for it), but WHY NOT MSX?
I leave you guys wondering about the possibilities......

You're wrong, Poke...
There is an MSX1 new model coming next year, by ASCII.  |

Actually, it's an MSX 1½ with the hopes of upgrading it to a full MSX 2 later when the VHDL code has been written for it.

Yeah, but I think he wants to fit it in a joystick... Sure, it could be done, but for me the MSX system is much more than a games-console tho...

Nope,I don't wanna fit it into a joystick...it should have good looks too.
Who cares about some dull 19" rack,only fun for the geeks and users.
What would be the purpose of having such a small msx if
you won't put it into a fancy case? I mean y'all have msx2+ and 2 and turbo r and god knows what,who gives a shit about an msx1,5 then?
Just a hobby thing or anything serious, this?
Is it aimed for hardcore msx users or u think it could be used to appease the gamesconsole market as well? I mean an x-box is a gamesconsole too,but not just that...it's OS been hacked and you can use it as a pretty good pc
I just wonder,if it's only for putting an outdated msx1,5 board into a 19" rack,then what's the fun?
Perhaps there are a hell of a lot more people who could actually enjoy it as a cool retro homecomputer,in a sexy case ...look at the zemmix consoles and see what I mean?

that'll be the perfect case for the 1cm .. highly modular and re-usable, if you ask me 
|
That's the best solution so far. LOL |

Maybe we should start our own MSX1.5-in-a-box-design-contest.
Who can make the coolest machine. Who has the best idea/design...
My thoughts to start with:
MSX in a video tape
MSX in a free CD-bay of your PC
MSX in an old c64 case :-)
or some own design made with thermoforming/ vacuumforming (see e.g. http://www.build-stuff.com/1001plans.htm ) |

Doesn't that go against nature ? It's like transplanting a pinguin brain into a baboon... |

Well that's great if you like pinguins better than baboons! :-)
This thermoforming / vacuumforming process might also be interesting to build housings for other hardware projects. It's affordable for small series. |
