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.

Please support my #MSX work at https://buymeacoffee.com/tni.nl
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. 😆

SCREEN3 was used a lot for homemade #MSX BASIC programs in Japan and is now popular on MSX0. People would complain that SCREEN3 became so slow on MSX2. Let's compare GRP: device printing in SCREEN3. The configurations are the same as above. We see MoSX BASIC is 4 times faster! ✨

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. ✨

An #MSX logo found at the Tokyo Game Show 2025!

This Japanese television broadcast from 1996 uses Tadahiro Nitta's Illusion City theme for #MSX turboR as background music.

This is my real world answer as well. リアルと同じです

Mizuki: What kind of books do you like, spacemoai?
spacemoai: MSX Technical Handbooks
Mizuki: Wow, you're into those? That's impressive! They always look so initimidating to me.
spacemoai: 😎✨

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.)

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!

Anatomy is difficult for artists as well. There are many really funny examples in artwork. Also for example in this Disney movie. The sketch at the bottom explains what's going on.

There's no point in trying again.
The only way to rescue the princess is to PAUSE the game!

How ironic...

The TNI logo has served us for 30 years. Inspired by our burning passion and MSX, we cherish it, but at the same time we think it's time to lay the foundation for the future. Reminiscent of the art of tangrams and empty space, our new logo will work well in the Year of the Snake!

30年にわたって我々に貢献してきたTNIのロゴの記念年です。それを、燃える情熱やMSXにインスパイアされた、大切にしているが、同時に未来のために基盤を築く時が来たと考えてます。そこで、新しいロゴを発表します。タングラムや空間の芸術を彷彿とさせるこのロゴは、巳年の我々によく似合うでしょう。

Many years ago I made this approximation of MSX1 colors on MSX2. Using BiFi's Palette Editor bifi.msxnet.org/paledit/, you can use this palette to play MSX1 games on MSX2 with pretty accurate colors! #MSX

At #MSX Devcon in Pisa I reconnected with old friends, made amazing new friends, and presented on stage for the first time!

In addition, @nishikazuhiko.bsky.social announced that TNI's technology will be incorporated in the MSXturboR+ and MSX3. A great day for me, and a bright future for MSX!

#OTD in 1983 the first ever #MSX model was released, the Mitsubishi ML-8000. MSX turns 41 years today.

1983年10月21日、三菱電機がMSX本体「ML-8000」を発売しました。本日MSXは41周年を迎えました。

Nishi is working on a #MSX V9978 'GPU' cartridge. It's an eZ80 CPU (150MHz Z80 equivalent), a V9958 in FPGA (by @thara1129.bsky.social), and a real chip V9990, with HDMI output! The cartridge is envisioned as part of the MSX DIY concept. I hope it will be compatible with existing V9990 software too.

Rescuing the old TNI server harddisks: 3x 500GB #Seagate Barracuda ES in a RAID5 set. Under the #keyboard is the new #server, a lot more compact than the old 1 meter deep #pancake. Also a lot more #powerful and #energy #efficient!

The FILVRM #MSX BIOS routine has an undocumented side-effect of preserving the #Z80 carry flag. Namcot's Dig Dug relies on it, but the assumption fails on #MSX2! However, it runs fine in MoSX, so please consider supporting this next-gen MSX system that fixes so many bugs at buymeacoffee.com/tni.nl 🫶
