@ellieraejaye some other models that stand out are the Sanyo MPC-1 aka Wavy1 (or the Wavy2 in white and black), or perhaps the Sony HitBit F1-XD with its black case with red highlight?
While plenty find it ugly, the design of the Panasonic FS-A1GT also appeals to me. It's also basically the most capable #MSX machine, since it's the final iteration of the standard, the #turboR.Edit: but I'll never part with my trusty Philips NMS 8250 though, despite it being 'only' an #MSX2 and less compact and not as sexy. 😅

No important reason. I'm sure I was using sprite$() in an earlier version of the code, but I think the vpoke'ing yielded simpler code.
Mind you, for some reason, if I initialized the sprites after the turbo on call, x-basic was complaining about the dim variables.
Were you asking because you thought I could've initialized the sprites after the turbo on call? I'm still not familiar with all the limitations of #xbasic.
I didn't know the bit about #TurboR! I used to program on an #MSX 1 and now I have a physical #MSX 2.

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. 💙 -

@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 https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/result?sy%5B%5D=Turbo-R&sy%5B%5D=MSX2%2B 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.

People complaining once again about the #MSX spec limitations of the #MSXdev competition.
So, this year I decided to suggest that those who want to compete with #MSX2, #MSX2Plus, #turboR or other #MSX configurations that don't match the #MSX1 limitations of the #compo, to participate in one of the many #demoparties out there. :)
https://www.msx.org/news/challenges/en/msxdev21-is-on#comment-396739Feel free to comment here with your suggestions for #demoscene events that welcome #MSX in their specific compos or #WILDCompos. :)

That's pretty cool: #ThunderForceIV tune on a work-in-progress #MSX music #tracker supporting #Konami's #SCC soundchip, and the builtin #ProgrammableSoundGenerator aka #PSG, as well as the #SN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2bHDKXdXW4
It has some pretty high specs though, requiring the latest revision in the line of MSX standards, a #turboR machine, as well as the #V9990 VDP (for instance in the form of a #GFX9000 or #Video9000 video expansion cartridge).

CW: Video games
@kelbot
and those machines are a lot bulkier, and thus more expensive, to ship than a simple #PSP!
If you do ever get one, your best bet is probably a #Yamaha #CX5MII that was (I think) designed for your local market (https://www.msx.org/wiki/Yamaha_CX5MII), though that would be just an #MSX1.
If you'd want an #MSX2 or higher, which I'd recommend, you'd probably be best off shopping in #Japan, as their power system is closer to the #USA's, and in the case of the #turboR, the only market released. -
Following @bitsofbas's suggestion of doing #MSXtober, here's a close-up of an #MSX (#FSA1ST #turboR?) #circuitboard that has been serviced by #SunriseForMSX. :)

An #FSA1ST #turboR #MSX, some or DeltaSoft's software (#Konami quizz, #LuckyDarts), an MSX #TShirt, and a #Duracell bunny at the #DeltaSoft booth at a #retroComputers fair back in 2009.

If I ever happen to come into some big money that I can easily spend on non-essential luxury items, I'd love to expand my #MSX collection with basically the last model ever made: the #Panasonic #turboR #FSA1GT
Compared to the #FSA1ST (depicted in the photo), the FS-A1GT has double the amount of RAM (512kB), it features a MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT connector. MIDI can also be accesssed by using the built-in MSX-MUSIC BASIC (version with an additional instruction: CALL MDR).
