It's a really cool machine.
Here's a pic I took while testing a few Konami games

Ya tenemos el nuevo!

Este fin de semana le daremos caña.

@tiburoncio.bsky.social has released a patch for #MSX Galaga that enables the use of the Arkanoid Value controller.
Really cool! Here's a small video using the Arkanavi

I'm using @kicad.org new multi channel functionality *extensively* with a keyboard design. Only a few hiccups, but it's handling 100 copies like a champ.
Modifications are no longer a problem!

Amazing edition of the Future Disk #50.
The games are awesome, the content is funny and engaging, you can feel the love and the talent that went into making it a reality.
A worthy last edition. Congratulations @futurediskmsx #FD50

Today I have a mythical Roland Juno-60 unit in mint external condition. Only a few buttons seem to be having issues.

I have a Nyborg-12 + Nyborg-24 analogue synthesizer on my desk today. Owner reports that no sound is produced, even if the unit seems to power on.
I've found this already a few times with old synthesizers. They need AC to work!
The one provided by the owner is not correct.

Fixing an Event Opal studio monitor these days.
Really intricated, it needs almost 30 minutes to get to the amplifier components!
It was blowing fuses, so I removed the transistors and then found "that". Probably a remain from a previous repair attempt.
It sounds beautifully now!

The OneChipBook internal slot works fine with #MSX cartridges, but it requires an adapter to switch the pin rows.

This Roland TR-727 is back to life!
Several broken solder and a broken cable only, not too bad.
It sounds great! #synthrepair

This Roland TR-727 Rhythm Composer has been heavily modified with many switches and sockets. Not a bad job, but I can see how it can affect its robustness. I already found a problem. Let's keep looking! #synthrepair

I'm getting some interesting devices in my workshop. Both are not turning on.
I'll do my best to recover them!

I received my MSXBook/OneChipBook today. Amazing little machine!
It has a great display, regular cartridge slot, backlit mechanical keyboard, internal battery good for 3-4 hours... All for 200 euro. Great job!

I found these three CRT monitors in the flea market. I *had* to save them.
Only one of them was working, but I was able to recover them just by reseating the internal connectors.
I'll try to convert them to RGB!

MSX Calamar showed me the first prototype of the KrakenGraph #MSX cartridge.
Precision soldering!

Starting the 63rd #MSX user meeting in Barcelona.

Not #MSX , but the XV-T600 was bundled with a MSX trackball!

I'm not posting a lot lately because my workshop is in renovations... 😵‍💫
I hope It finishes soon!

After a few adjustments, the Kraken cartridge for the #MSX is working!
Super interesting device. It has audio *input*, so you can route the MSX sounds to the monitor where the video is showing.

I'm soldering the V9990 Video Display Processor IC to the Kraken #MSX cartridge from @MSXcalamar and @mfides

I manually dispensed a little bit of solder paste on each pad and used the hot air station for the reflow.
It's relatively easy and gives excellent results.

I have the components for the final assembly of MSX Calamar's Kraken cartridge. A V9990 Video Display Processor unit from Yamaha that upgrades the MSX video capabilities to incredible new heights.

I added a small "Easter egg" to the Panasonic #MSX
after cleaning and adding USB-C power input...
I couldn't resist... 😅

I've prepared a beautiful Panasonic FS-A1 #MSX computer for the OXO video game museum in Madrid. Look for it in your next visit!
