Nowind firmware 2.1
Nowind has released new firmware for their USB hardware. This is the firmware as it was used at the end of the day at the Bussum fair, a week ago. The most important changes are a fix for write support and a "call image" feature that can change the inserted image by entering the name of the image on an MSX, like: _image( "somedisk.dsk" ).
Today, the Bonami retro fair was being held. MSX Posse has made a photoshoot of the event and these have been published. These 44 photos will give you a good impression of the fair, the MSX booths and other activities.

MsxKun surprises the MSX world with a new free puzzle game: Perfect Fit! It's a puzzle game based on a GP2X game by Akuma no Houkon. In this game you get to move boxes to a spot with a corresponding color, at first sight it may look a bit like Sokoban.
Donations for this annual contest keep coming in. The organizers have announced that due an extra €50, the main prize has increased to €250, and perhaps this number may still grow in the next months! Responsible for these new donations are Latok and Fernando Manuel García García!
The MSXdev'08 contest has an open sponsorship structure.
It's been a while since we've heard any MSXdev news, perhaps all these game developers were on holiday during the summer? Anyway, as the months keep going on, the deadline comes closer. While the deadline is in 2009, the final game developing months go faster than the first ones!
