I totally overlooked this forum thread this afternoon, in which Nyyrikki announced the manual of Super-X was translated to English by JP Grobler.
Leonardo Padial released a new video-expansion for MSX, the LPE-V3858-V3 external video card for MSX. This card is mainly intended to be used with Padial's EMSX system, but with this cartridge it is also possible to change an MSX2 computer to an MSX2+ without (most of) the destructive modifications that are usually needed.
KSSPlay 1.0
Today, Nyyrikki announced in this thread on our forums that he has released yet another tool that allows you to do something with your MSX that appeared to be impossible in the past.
Higemaru OST
On GM station several game soundtracks can be downloaded for low prices. Today, 6 MP3 files containing music from the MSX game Higemaru were added. All can be downloaded for 200 yen. Unfortunately, this service is only available for Japanese visitors.
On Robsy's website you can find the latest information on the MSXDev'03 competition. This game-development competitions celebrates the 20th anniversary of MSX by letting contestans develop a game that works on the MSX system as it was released 20 years ago.
Eggerland 1 walkthrough
A third game walkthrough is available on MSX Valley, a French site that allows you to know (and see) all you want about some MSX puzzles.
After walkthroughs for The Goonies and Skooter, it's now the turn for Eggerland Mystery, the great HAL game: a complete overview with passwords, tips and cheats. This will be completed in the future by all created puzzles for this fabulous game!
MSX Viewer 3.0
A new version of MSX Viewer was released today. This Windows tool can be used to load and save images in screen 2, 5, 7, 8 and 12 formats. Changes in this new release:
- Convert images from Screen 5 to 7 (and back)
- Load screens saved in BASIC using the COPY command
- MSX <-> PC text converter
As of today, 12 new files can be found in our downloads database:
- 4 Moonblaster songs by Anne de Raad. ADR's theme, Not Again! Staff BGM and Who's Snatching now?
- 8 Moonblaster Wave (moonsound) songs by Anne de Raad, Ruud v/d Moosdijk and Sander Zuidema.
Valken has just finished his KSS 2 wav converter for OS X. It can handle .kss files, which can be found for example at KSS Kingdom. The player function is not yet done. Depending of the song complexity it may need 2 seconds of calculation for one second of wavefile.
Robsy petrus web updated
Eduardo Robsy's website has been updated with some interesting stuff. The first update is a new disk version of war in middle earth. This game is now available in an English transtation. You can also download a wav version that you can use with waver, or any other cassete reader.
