Happy #MSXDay this #MaySiXth everyone!
Unfortunately not a lot of time for #MSX today though, as I have to rush out to work...#MSX2 #NMS8250 #OuterHeaven #OuterSounds #retrogaming #Zemina

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.#MaySix #homecomputer #homecomputers #retroComputing #retroGaming

@nonius yeah, it was good to have it out again, especially introducing it to the next generation. 💚
Did notice that the disk drives on one of my #NMS8250's are having issues (which don't have belts to replace, so I wonder what's up...), and I was having some video glitches (screen turning magenta, and reseating the SCART had no effect; only a reboot worken) on the other; which was a bit disheartening.Wouldn't mind having a #GR8NET some day, but for now that's an expense I can't yet justify.

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. :)

Good! The #TV I picked up for free through #FINN (Norway's probably most popular #secondHand online marketplace), seems to work!
Which means I finally have a working screen again that supports #SCART, so I could connect my #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homeComputer again. :D
Man... those pixels are large 😅 I kinda wish I had a small CRT just for systems like this. 😂#MSX #BubbleBobble #Taito #FiXatoGames #retroComputing #retroGaming

CW: (Re-)Introduction
Started an alt for @FiXato here on toot.cat to see if #Glitchsoc is a closer match to what I want out of a #SocialMediaPlatform, feature-wise.
So, it's time for a re-introduction:Who am I?

I'm FiXato, a stay-at-home father of a two-year-old I often refer to as #BeardGrabber.
While I was born in the Netherlands, I've been living in northern Norway for quite some time now.What do I do?
-=-
In day-to-day life I take care of our son while the missus is at work, and when I have some spare time and headspace, I like to tinker on my various coding projects.Aside from that, I like to play some mobile Android games such as #PokémonGO, #Ingress and #MarioKartTour.

#Sony indeed has made some sexy #MSX machines in their time.
This pictured #HitBit #HBF1XD probably being on of their sleekest designs.While the #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 holds a special place in my heart because of it being our first #homecomputer, it definitely wasn't as good looking.
#Panasonic's #FSA1GT looks pretty too.

@Truck I at least still have several #MSX; mostly #NMS8250, but I think also a #ToshibaHX10. I had a #HitBit too, but not sure anymore what happened to that one when I moved.
Since I kinda had to rush the packing when my father died several years ago, part of it is kinda a blur.Not sure what you mean with "MSX Blue" though?
I know of #BlueMSX, which is an emulator which I rarely use, and of the #OCM, the #OneChipMSX, which is an #FPGA in a blue case, which Haohmaru afaik owns; not me. :) -
A #Dutch old #Dixons advert with a #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homeComputer on offer for 999,- Dutch #Guilders at the time.

@bitsofbas I knew there was a logo on our #NMS8250 #MSX #keyboard #dustcover, but I wasn't sure if it was an official #Philips or #NMS logo, or something else. Turns out it was an #MCN logo, which I believe was the Microcomputer Club Nederland.
Apparently this club was founded by #Vendex, which owned #VroomEnDreesman and the Dutch chain of #Dixons stores.
MCN's director apparently was a #MauriceDeHond. -

@vertigo why rip out the VDP when you can already slot in a Sunrise #Graphics9000 or #Tecnobytes #V9990 #Powergraph; both expansion cards based on the #Yamaha #V9978 VDP?
https://www.msx.org/wiki/Yamaha_V9990
https://www.msx.org/wiki/Sunrise_GFX9000This expandability was one of the beautiful things of the #MSX standards.
And while my #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 isn't as pretty as this one, I definitely have fond memories of growing up with it.
