Happy #MSXDay this #MaySiXth everyone!
Unfortunately not a lot of time for #MSX today though, as I have to rush out to work...

Hopefully I have some time and energy to set up my MSX and play some retrogames tomorrow for #MaySiXth before I have to go to work. :)

My physical copy of the #MSX #MusicDisk #OuterSounds by the members of our Discord group #OuterHeaven has arrived!
A lovely 3½ inch double sided double density #diskette with a label by @bitsofbas, containing music and graphics by a bunch of my friends, and a couple of animations I contributed. :D

@Groebelsloot if you like #Goonies, you might enjoy this sneak preview of a proof of concept by #NOPMSX that was shown on #GreyfoxNL's #MaySiXth stream last night: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2139021448?t=2h8m (starts 2 hours and 8 minutes in, if the timestamp param doesn't work).
They basically use a bunch of interesting tricks to add PCM music and sound effects to the game, if I understood correctly.

And my mate #GreyFoxNL is currently streaming the brand-new #MusicDisk "Outer Sounds" created by our little Discord group #OuterHeaven: https://www.twitch.tv/greyfoxnl
This lovely #demoscene -ish release is jam-packed with #MSXMusic (#YM2413 #OPLL) and #MSXAudio (#Y8950 and #OPL1) tunes from various #MSX artists.
It also includes a bunch of #1bit animations, some of which were made by yours truly, so I guess this sort of is my first proper #demoscener contribution. ;)
You can grab it, along with @bitsofbas 's excellent #CubeDroid, and #SantiagoOntañón's #WestenHouse, over at https://maysixth.file-hunter.com/

May 6th aka #MaySiXth is #MSXDay. ;)
If you have an #MSX, be sure to give it some love today!
Maybe join the celebrations by sharing a photo of your setup?
This is the #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 from my childhood, for example, running a Korean bootleg of #Nemesis3, the #EveOfDestruction.

Happy MSX-DAY!
The Sanyo is my usual setup, but I'm also showing with pride the Omega I just finished last week :)

#MaySiXth #MSX #MSXDAY

Apparently, it’s #MSXday #MaySiXth I’ve collected a lot of these over the years and made a bunch of videos
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtUQIrRochl8bDNll3VKcqwAyrHhxM02C

Indeed, whomever buys the NerdHaven collection will become the owner of quite a few

#BeardGrabber also played #Imanok's #BubbleRain, a #BustAMove / #BubbleShooter clone for the #MSX (or rather #MSX2 I think?).

Do you have an MSX #homecomputer? Emulated or real? Join us this #MaySiXth #MSXDay, and fire it up and share some pictures or videos of it using the #MaySiXth and #MSX hashtags.
Or if you can't set it up right now, maybe share some #memories of your favourite MSX game or event?

This #MaySiXth #MSXDay I'm introducing almost-five-years-old #BeardGrabber to #MSX games again. He's probably the same age now as when my parents got our #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homecomputer, and now, probably about 35 years later, he gets to play on the very same machine, playing the same original copies as I got or bought during my childhood, which feels quite special. 💙
So far we've played some #BubbleBobble, #Brisk and now #PinballBlaster. His #joystick and #keyboard control isn't good yet, but he's still very much enjoying the experience! 💚

I also have some videos of him playing, but I need some time to review the footage to make sure it doesn't show kiddo's face and such. :)

Tomorrow is the sixth of May. @bitsofbas last year came up with the wonderful idea to make this day about #MSX, and call it #MaySiXth, and share our love for this wonderful #homecomputer from the #80s in whatever way you can think of.
So, if you have an #MSX1, #MSX2, #MSX2Plus, #turboR, #OneChipMSX, or similar, whether it is real or emulated, fire it up, take a photo or screenshot, and share it tomorrow with the hashtags #MaySiXth and #MSX. 💙
