In November 2004, SPL won a music competition at the BCNparty. Later we found out he had been working with ProTracker a lot, creating 9 MSX-MUSIC tunes which were released as an audio CD called Analogy. As of today, the original ProTracker songs can be found in our downloads database.
Last Saturday we reminded you of the MSX Vriendenclub Mariënberg meeting and auction which is going to be held this Saturday. In the same weekend you can visit another MSX meeting in the Netherlands: the MSX Posse Retro Days in Deventer.
SPL's lost Airwaves entry
When we started the MRC Airwaves Challenge, SPL decided to compose an MSX-MUSIC tune for it in Tyfoon's Protracker. After finishing the song he made an MP3 recording of it and sent it, together with the protracker file, in to the MRC.
MSXPro and A&L Software released a tool to write an MSX compatible bootsector on standard IBM formatted 1.44MB disks, allowing you to create bootable floppy disks, to be used in an LS-120 drive connected to MSX by an IDE interface.
Poke -1,170 managed to get a newspost on the MRC Airwaves Challenge on Micromusic, in the Micronewz section.
BMP2MSX Update
After nearly four years, the great BMP2MSX utility by HRA! got a minor update. BMP2MSX can convert bitmaps to MSX BLOAD files for screen modes 2 - 12. BMP2MSX allows you to specify a whole host of options, from dithering to error littering, and all this with an easy to use graphic interface.
Next week MSX Vriendenclub Mariënberg will hold a special meeting for MSX users. Apart from their regular activities, a large auction of MSX hardware, software and goodies will be held. Everyone is free to come over and sell or buy (or both!) products, of which the profits are entirely for the selling party.
The ever growing retrogaming music archives of Retro PC Game Music were updated with the soundtrack of Konami's Snatcher.

DRM, aka Atsushi Sugiyama, just released a new MSX song called "Tender Love Droid". You can grab this new track by DRM at the DRMSXSoundwork section of his website. The track is available in both MP3 and MGS format.
Today the design of the Homebrew MSX Gaming List published by the MSX Games bOX was completely restyled.
