Whilst browsing the web for remakes to publish on Classic Retro Games, Bart spotted a remake in the making of King's Valley on Crozza's site.
...and back we are with our monthly yet usually overdue list of most downloaded files from our freeware downloads corner. A lot of usual suspects in the lists this month again.
As you may know, Sunrise is to distribute the upcoming new batch of Nowind interfaces. The Nowind interface will be provided in a small cartridge case, the ones you may have seen used for the MP3-player and Manbow 2. Also, a larger flashrom will be provided.
Unfortunately, due to a problem with the soldering company, a delay sneaked into the process.
blueMSX 2.8.1
Almost a year after the previous release, a new version of blueMSX has been released!
The MSXdev competition is generally seen as one of the biggest events of each MSX year. In 2004, the competition raised an exceptional interest from an active part of the scene, leading to a very successful edition in 2005. The already increased specifications may have been the cornerstone of this sudden success, in previous years these were just enough for relatively small games.
35th RU Barcelona
The Asociación de Amigos del MSX (MSX Friends Association) will hold the 35th MSX Users Meeting in Barcelona (Spain) on May 30th, 2009.
The latest issue of the Spanish magazine @RROBA was just released. It's a consolidated computer magazine, distributed in the whole of Spain. For this issue, the chief editors of the magazine were attracted to La Corona Encantada, the new MSX and ZX-Spectrum game from the the Karoshi Corporation.
BEER IDE interfaces
Some Argentinian MSX users, who are subscribed to the Yahoo mailing list MSX Error 51, have managed to build themselves twelve BEER IDE interfaces. This IDE interface for MSX was originally developed by Egor Voznesenski and its design is freely available on the Internet.
It's finally possible to run the popular Micro Cabin games from harddisk or CF-IDE on a real MSX now. It doesn't matter which type of bus (e.g. SCSI or IDE) you are using or which filesystem (e.g. FAT12 or FAT16).
The website of Leonardo Padial Ortiz has been offline for quite a while. Luckily it's now back in action again! Padial creates and sells interesting hardware for our MSX systems. His catalog ranges from slotexpanders to Z380 chips, from flashrom to interfaces for PC keyboards and mice.
