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).
