  1. #msx3 Supporterà monitor a #2K in formato 4/3, ma anche #16/9. La tastiera è fisicamente suddivisa in 2 parti. Il sistema operativo di base sarà Linux. Msx3 monterà 2 Cpu. Una #Arm per gestire msx3 , mentre #FPGA gestirà i sistemi precedenti #msx, #msx2, #msx2+ #msxturbor. La seconda generazione ha dei problemi. Mentre i mapper delle memorie delle cartucce sono tutti funzionanti. Disponibilità verso la fine del 2025. Prezzi? si ipotizzano 150 euro in europa. Distribuzione via #amazon

  2. @syx oh, and the reason @bitsofbas suggested to get a Japanese model if you are in the USA is mostly because those models will have a voltage closer to your native one, as European models tend to be designed for 220V or 240V.
    #MSX2Plus and #turboR bring a newer VDP, which may be nice, but the amount of games that support it, is limited.
    #MSXTurboR adds support for the #R800 CPU in addition to the previous generations' #Z80, which certainly can give a nice speed boost, especially in day-to-day software like file managers when browsing solid state media with large directories, but it comes with a huge price markup, and only a limited catalogue of games.

    For comparison, here's the amounts of software indexed in #GenerationMSX per generation of #MSX:

    • MSX (4193)
    • #MSX2 (2972)
    • MSX2+ (145)
    • Turbo-R (179)

    You can use generation-msx.nl/software/res to list all MSX2+ and turboR software indexed in #GenMSX to get an idea of what kind of games support those generations, or use the checkboxes in the sidebar to filter in/out other generations or specs.

  3. WEC Le Mans, known as WEC Le Mans 24 in #Japan, is a racing simulation #videogame released in arcades by #Konami in 1986. It was the first racing video game to depict the 24 Hours of Le Mans World Endurance Championship (WEC).

    This version is a #MSX port from the #ZXSpectrum version 💩.
    It has been fixed to take advantage of the R800 CPU built in the #MSXTurboR #computers.

  4. An interesting introduction to the #MSX platform that covers the #MSX1, #MSX2, #MSX2Plus and #MSXTurboR: youtube.com/watch?v=AFRf87SqWr
    It's refreshing to see one of these videos covering this #80s #8bit #homeComputer platform for which I have quite some #nostalgia, and not just focus on the crappy #ZXSpectrum ports and games without smooth scrolling, and instead highlights the high quality releases, excellent #homebrew, hardware extensions and even patches that add #smoothScrolling to existing #games.
