Thanks for the comment,

I haven't done much with the audio yet but I am planning to have the original music track with. I am trying to make it as close to the original one as possible.

Sorry not 100% sure what you mean with VDP support?

I am actually programming this using Java for PC and the graphics should be pretty much the same.

If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hearSmile

Yes, make a new version for MSX2 with improved graphics and music, and new rooms off course.

you said there is a room editor? Could it be made so it would be possible to export those levels to some msx format so they might be possible to implement in the msx version of the castle in some way?

This actually started out for me as a school project using Java. The actual project wasn't as big as re-making this whole game but since I had it all started with Java, I continued on using Java. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I will be making new maps and rooms of course, that's the whole pointSmile

About the room Editor, it's pretty much a program I made where you can design a certain room but adding walls/bricks/enemies,etc. You can see what I am talking about in the second part of the video that I posted up here.
More importantly, the overall result after you design a whole room is a 3-D ARRAY which specifies all the objects you have in the room and where they are located and so on.
I am not too familiar with the MSX format but my guess is it should be possible to do something like that.
