This is the progress with #MSXgl after two weeks. I hope to get it ready for the #MSX Malaga Meeting next month.

I'm a designer, not a coder. I'm having a hard time with the documentation, but I'm having a lot of fun.

Ghosts are based on ‪@androidarts.bsky.social‬ designs.

If desired, you could use up to 3 × 4 = 12 slots!!!

Let's say you can have three environments to work with: Work, music, and games, for example. You don't have to take out the cartridges!
Definitely an interesting concept.

Yesterday, I saw a Sanyo Wavy3 at the #MSXMalagaMeeting owned by @fiteblog.bsky.social, and it's a fascinating #MSX. (I forgot to take photos)
It's an MSX computer with three slots! *Each of these slots is a primary slot*, and each can be expanded up to four slots.

Photo of the MSX Hard Catalog, showing the Sanyo Wavy3 page.

"The sight of three cartridges inserted is spectacular Sanyo WAVY3. The WAVY3 is an MSX-standard personal computer released by Sanyo Electric. At first glance, the design itself is quite ordinary for an MSX: a silver-colored, keyboard-integrated body. Looking at the catalog specs, the back seems a bit sparse due to the lack of a printer port, and the 16KB main memory isn't particularly unusual either. However, this machine possesses a unique feature found on no other MSX:
three cartridge slots lined up on the top of the unit. It's an MSX computer with three slots! Each of these slots is a primary slot, and each can be expanded up to four slots. If you're so inclined, you can utilize up to 3 × 4 = 12 slots. Moreover, above the cursor keys is a slot select button, allowing you to switch which slot is active. By using this wisely, you can build and switch environments tailored to specific tasks: Slot A for kanji ROM + word processor cartridges, Slot B for memory expansion + music cartridges, Slot C for communication-related cartridges... and so on. This setup promises to deliver the ultimate MSX environment."

The four buttons are used to change the primary slot.

I really hate this 2025. It's been sh&tty since minute zero, and it's not getting better.

Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, and they're launching a new SBC (Uno Q) combining a Dragonwing SoC with an Arduino microcontroller in the Uno form factor. What implications does this have for makers and education? Quick video covering the news: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfKX...

I'm redoing the entire game, but I'll be showing the old prototype at the #MSXMalagaMeeting.

I flashed it on a ROM cartridge. It feels incredible to have your own creation on a cartridge. 10-year-old me would blow his mind.

An MSX cartridge with the label "PACMAN MSX2 - PROTOTYPE" written on it.

After all they've done these years. Now, they are piss&ng in our face, and we don't do sh&t.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.

Está es la programación para el sábado. Visítanos si estás por Málaga.

Corregimos una pequeña errata, que somos humanos. Pero no cambia nada de horarios ni del lujazo de ponentes que tenemos en la Málaga MSX Meeting. Nos vemos el 11 de octubre.

It's incredible the power of music to transport you to a very specific point in time, don't you think?

One of those songs for me is 'Les jours tristes' by Yann Tiersen. I almost want to cry.

To celebrate the release of #MSXgl 1.3.0, today I am publishing the source code of my latest game: Peng Pong.
It is a volleyball-like game which can be played by 2 players or versus AI.
It had the honor of being included in the last Future Disk #50.
Enjoy! 🐧🐧

What?! New "Slow Horses" season?? I can't believe I missed that!

peruho @peruho.com · 11d

Now I have a new hobby: seeing how my favorite games handle sprites and content on the VDP pages.
I can spend hours and hours testing games on here 📺

Sorry, Europe and Japan in my experience.

peruho @peruho.com · 12d

Is that a USA thing? In Europe it is usually the opposite, not saying that the quality of FaceTime is bad, but phone calls are 100% better than anything.

Es que veo fotos del evento en San Diego y los pasillos son más amplios y se puede andar sin problema. Pero en la #comicconmalaga no cabía un alfiler.
De verdad, pasa algo y morimos todos.
