I travel the galaxy and far beyond. Got to live the life I create inside my head. Not happy to hide my big dreams anymore. Leaving all but the future far behind.

Danish #MSX users! Did you know that the Danish Spectravideo SVI-728 crashes when printing to a non-MSX printer? 😅
The keyboard driver is overlayed on an old version of the international ROM, which uses JP instead of JR in the printing routine. This causes the jump address to be cut off! 😱

HRA! opened a Discord server for allowing the #MSX community to make feature requests for V9978. It's the successor of the MSX2++ VDP V9968. The V9978 at the base level is V9968-compatible with added feature parity with V9990. You can help steer additional feature development!

@ikamusume.bsky.social I was looking at your IKASCC core and, altho my Verilog skills are basic, unless I'm mistaken there is no behavior for reading the test register. On the actual chip, attempting to read the write-only test register somehow causes its bit 6 to be set. Are you aware of this?

@thara1129.bsky.social and I had a brainstorm session on the MSX2++ CPU architecture tonight, while keeping in mind the future towards R900 and R1800. It was good to throw ideas around, clear up some things, and reach the best possible course of action. Thanks to Mr. Nishi's decision to (1/3) #MSX

I shared my optimal #MSX VDP detector with HRA! @thara1129.bsky.social. Advantages of my method: instant detection (no wait loops) and no display glitches on MSX1. It detects TMS9918, V9938, V9958 and up.
It won't work on 1chipMSX for now; OCM-PLD will be fixed with my info. BlueMSX is SOL.

I took a screenshot from the #MSX adventure game Zarth by Enix and asked #NanobananaAI to read the Japanese text (in katakana!) and include its elements in the picture. I'm quite amazed by the results.
Still, I don't think #AI is any good for software development. 😆

The talk I gave at MSX Devcon Pisa in 2024 is finally premiering in less than 2 hours on YouTube!
Join me in the archeology of 2 lonely instructions in the #MSX firmware, as well as the renovation and innovation of the MSX system through the MoSX project!

A new benchmark comparison for MoSX. We're printing a string in SCREEN5 using the GRP: device. On the left we see a #MSX turboR in R800 mode. On the right we see the same, but running interpreted MoSX BASIC. We see a speed improvement of about 33%. We also save over 200 bytes. ✨

People interested in music know that A4 (above Middle C) is 440Hz. It's what you hear when you PLAY "o4A" in #MSX BASIC. However, with FM-BASIC and other software, A4 is on "o5". Maybe since BASIC started at octave 1, FM-BASIC was made to start at "o1" too, although it's really octave 0! (1/3)

Something I learned by observation, but is also supported by recent research: your subconscious brain is much smarter than your conscious brain. Conscious brain likes to second-guess your impulses, leading to hypercorrections and uncertainty. Trusting your hunches can save time…

I took a chance on four untested MSX computers from eBay to see if they still work… let’s just say things didn’t go exactly as planned: dead CPUs, broken keyboards and faulty PSUs. Not exactly an easy ride!🔧😅

Coming soon in MS² v2.0: #MSX keyboard deghosting
I came up with a way to reduce keyboard ghosting to almost zero. Finally you'll be able to jam freely on your ⌨️ without needing a 🎹.
This will come in handy when I implement keyboard live recording!
Meanwhile, a v1.0 release candidate is upcoming ✨

The New Image is developing MSX stuff
Hi! Ever since 1991 we develop MSX software, MSX systems, and (cross-)development tools, and share our knowledge with the community where we can. Please help us keep doing that :)
