XSW magazine
Time for some new links and for some serious html debugging on these pages. Mari van den Broek from the Dutch MSX magazine "XSW-Magazine" pointed me to these html-faults. Thanks Mari! XSW-Magazine is also a great Dutch MSX magazine. Why don't you check out their website too at www.xsw-msx.demon.nl/.
Konami history
Did you know that Konami made "Frogger"? Read about it in the article "the History of Konami" at the Gamespot website: video.gamespot.com/features/universal/konami/78-81.html
Falcom screensavers
I found some Falcom screensavers for MS-Windows9X/NT4. You'll find them here: www.falcom.com/download/ssaver/index.html. But, you need to put an extra file in your /windows/system/ or /wnt/system/ directory if you are using a non-Japanese version of MS-Windows9X/NT4.
Improve emulation!
I just got an idea for the makers of MSX-Emulators (WIN9X). Ever thought of programming the possibility for optimized palettes, real-time bilinear or trilinear filtering through the Direct3d function SetTextureQuality(D3DRMTEXTURE_LINEAR) or maybe SetRenderState(D3DANTIALIAS_SORTINDEPENDENT, TRUE)?
Keep MSX alive!
Have you ever thought about what you can do for keeping the MSX system alive as good as possible? Well, if you're Dutch, you can become a member of the great Dutch magazine MSX-Info for only Fl. 10,-- a year.

Konami games for PSX
Although not for MSX, Konami will release some games that gives you that special MSX feeling and therefore are mentioned on this pages. Konami will release a new family member of the Gradius series (in Europe known as Nemesis) for the Sony Playstation on August 8th.
