Technicolor
Following the release of the amazing MSX Unleashed demo and the BMPTO105 tool that was released, Dvik released Technicolor, a slideshow demo
Daniel Vik has optimized and fixed bugs in the tool used to create the 105 color images, as seen in the MSX Unleashed demo. The optimized tool is now released in a package that contains the encoder tool and assembly source for a viewer application.
The 1st MSX-BASIC Game Contest at Karoshi Corporation Development Boards was opened the 17th January 2006. The contest closed as it was announced in this newspost with a grand total of 13 games submitted to the contest.
In the 1980s, Steve Wallis and his brother Sean used to develop computer games for the Sharp MZ-80K/MZ-80A/MZ-700, Amstrad CPC-464 and MSX together. Several of there games were released commercially by Kuma Computers. As of now, their games can be downloaded for free from Steve Wallis's website.
A few days ago, the first MSX-BASIC game contest, organized on the Karoshi forum, was closed. In the end, no less than 14 entries were submitted, 5 of which we had not reported about yet:
- Police force by Yemani Soft
- Fireplay by Yemani Soft
- Drink it!
MSX Unleashed
After eight months of development Daniel Vik and Vincent van Dam are finally ready to release their new megademo for MSX1. The demo, MSX Unleashed contains several effects never seen MSX before on an MSX1, such as 105 color images, horizontal bars and a border scroller.
On request of Kuniji Ikeda, the current owner of the copyrights to HDDEMU, we have removed the floppy disk emulation tool HDDEMU from our downloads section. Although the tool has appeared on several other freeware distribution platforms, HDDEMU has never been declared freeware.
Almost a year ago, thanks to this forum thread, Adriano Cunha created a partitioning tool for the BEER 202 IDE Interface. The BEER 202 IDE interface was originally designed by Egor Voznesenski of SOLID.
On January 18th, the MSX-BASIC game contest started. Last week we already reported on the first eight entries.
