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.

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 ✨

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 :)

The names of Venom's minions who command the boss ships of each planet in #MSX Gradius 2 (Nemesis 2 in Europe) are:
Capt. Overkill
Capt. Anthrax
Gen. Judas Priest
Capt. Motörhead
Cmdr. Testament
Capt. Total Death (This does not appear to be a band, but rather a qualification.)

I found a big bug in Moonblaster from 1992! It doesn't save all 16 custom voices in the .MBB voice bank file. It saves 144 bytes which is enough for the OPL data, but it forgets to account for the voice name! That would need 225 bytes. So it saves 5 voices and a partial 6th. #MSX

I wrote an #MSX Exceptions framework for tniASM v1.0!
Features:
- Try / Catch, Throw
- Catch specific exception type or any
- Nestable try blocks
- Termination and Resumption semantics
- Uncaught exceptions
- Supports memory mapper
- Keeps CPU registers intact
- Safe to use with interrupts
😊✨

naruto2413's excellent PSG replayer NDP was added to the popular #MSX BASIC extension DM System 2 by Gigamix!
This BASIC extension is well-known in Japan, but it's quite capable and extensive for anyone who doesn't want to make the jump to C or Assembly for MSX programming.

Earlier this week I underwent eye surgery from which I'm recovering. My vision is still blurry, but I hope it will return to optimal soon.
今週初めに目の手術を受けて、現在回復中です。 視力はまだぼやけているが、すぐに最適な状態に戻ることを願っています。

In the early 90s, GENIC, one of the predecessors of Sunrise For MSX, was importing #MSX machines from Japan to the Netherlands. Notoriously, GENIC didn't deliver all ordered MSXturboR machines. Wouter, the then 12yo openMSX developer from Belgium, contacted a Dutch consumer affairs TV show (1/2)

Kinnoji (aka @v9938) has finished work an FRAM-based fast floppy disk replacement cartridge. Nishi had been talking about using this type of memory for #MSX. FRAM can be read and written like RAM and doesn't need the slow erase cycle of FlashROM, yet it retains its contents for up to 50 years!
