I was playing a bit with Furnace and to my surprise there were msx demo songs included, one of which a very very accurate rendition of a Nemesis 2 track.

Does anyone know how this file came to be? Can they be converted from original sources? There are quite a few Konami SCC songs that I would really love to be able to play in Furnace.

There is a 1987 Sega game called "Wonder Boy in Monster Land" released first in arcades and then on other platforms. But I discovered a canceled version of this game for the MSX. The little I found on the internet was just this video and some screenshots. But the interesting thing is that from the little I saw this game seemed to be very close to release. And I'd really be interested if this ROM has survived somewhere, maybe even recovering it. I can't understand why it was canceled.

Hey all!

I just published my first ever 3D model to "Maker World". As you've probably guessed from the title, it's a(nother) stand to put a boxed loose MSX cartridge.

You can find the Tinkercad "source" and the boxes I'm using to store my loose cartridges in the link below:

Ok so with help I paid the monthly service and decided to just get one of the games free to check out whether it works.

I installed the egg launcher but when I run it it shows two of these errors

How do I get it to work? Is this locking the app because its region locked or something?

There's an old anime game, "Star Trap", all in hiragana, for a Japanese MSX.

I have Japanese MSX support in an emulator, WMSX. I know how to type hiragana using the MSX keyboard layout. I speak very, very basic Japanese, so I can very very barely understand written text, Google Lens helps with the rest. I know hitting ESC enters the verb menu. I even wrote a javascript/AHK for pasting Unicode hiragana into the MSX properly. I know, I'm insane.

But. Now how do I do ANYTHING except get error messages?

I managed to combine "だっそうする" with the name "らん" to get some "だいじょうぶ" response, but that's as far as it went. What's this "きょうかん" that's highlighted in the response to the "まえにいく" command?

Help please.

Edit: I made _some_ progress. Not much. But, here's proof:

So I tried to register on this site by D4 Amusement center and it never seems to work for me

https://www.amusement-center.com/user/free.cgi

What gives? I want to buy the games legit to support their business but when I fill the registered details, nothing happens.

Also I remember that they had a mobile app that has some classic games there. Where is that?

Hello everyone, I am quite new to the msx world and I am very interested in the games of the system but some games are just super rare and hard to find and also very expensive on ebay, so i am looking for an alternative like an everdrive or something like that I saw some on aliexpress that use compact flash for like 100$ but I am not sure about the quality, so i would like to hear your opinions and ideas.

Hello. I'm trying to play the multilanguage version of Psycho World for MSX on OpenMSX emulator. I got Spellbound and the JP version of Psycho World to work properly, but the translated .dsk doesn't boot. Currently using a Toshiba HX-23F virtual machine along with a Sony HDB-F1 2DD Micro Floppydisk extension. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Ok So I want to play this game MoonlightSaga on the MSX as the developer has given it legally for free on the MSX.org site.

Thing is...when I tried to run it, I realized that I need to get system roms for the openmsx emulator inorder to get the game running and for that I need MSX Turbo R system roms. Any way I can get these systemroms?

I’ve been piecing this together over the past few months. Finally found the keyboard for a reasonable price and didn’t feel like clearing a space in the shop to test it.

I can’t figure out if this unit is a little bit of a unicorn? It’s a CX5MU but has the SFG-05 Synthesizer, which seems like it was an upgrade vs original release?

I’ve got to hook up a few more MIDI devices still

I used to own an msx game but I forgot the name, I hope you guys can help me out. It's probably Japanese, and it's a scroller scooter, where enemies appear from the horizon and get bigget as they get closer, giving it sort of a 3D effect. I believe the first boss is was sort of a dinosaur with a long neck and another boss is a ship that shoots missles.

Cheers!

Hey all! Recently I've been on a quest to try out every version of Ys III, and I got stuck at trying to run the MSX2 version of the game. Specifically at the set user disk screen. I made an empty .dsk file to use as the user disk, but I have no idea where to put it. I'm using openMSX 20.0, btw.

What I did is that I took the scenario disk and put it in drive 1. Then I put the empty .dsk file in drive 2, and pressed enter as the game told me, only for it to give me an error. What did I do wrong?

I'd like to share with you, something I recently posted on some MSX channels/groups about my MSX inspired game "The Stone of Wisdom".

This new version has been reimagined as an MSX2/NES concept, keeping all the retro vibes we love but with a fresh new look. It's available on Steam and https://neonbytes.itch.io/the-stone-of-wisdom

Living in the US now, but growing up I had one friend I used to hang out with who owned an Sony MSX. I know very few MSX1 games, and no MSX2 games at all. After getting a Wavy from Mercari for about $100+fees&shipping I just ordered a Mapper + Megaram from Brazil. What are your favorite MSX2 games so I can try them out? I like arcade games more than JRPGs. I have been a Commodore guy so this is relatively new to me. Thanks.

Edit: thank you all for your suggestions. Also I forgot this YT video about the Top 20 MSX2 games that came out yesterday. I think the subscribers of that channel voted on these games. https://youtu.be/2c6k8iYX0jQ?si=HNCsY-nYjraWNG1x

Hello there! I'm an old coot from Brazil who used to play the hell out of MSX games (and occasionally use it outside of games, lol) way back in the day. And of course, among those, there were local games people used to distribute on disks. There's this one adventure game that I've been wracking my brain trying to find, and only now I even found out what its name was (I'd forgotten): "Monstros da Noite". I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere though, much less a download. So I guess my question is, is there any site where I could look for it more closely? Since it's a kinda obscure Brazilian game, I imagine I'd have to look at either a rather comprehensive Brazilian MSX repository, or an insanely comprehensive international one. I know it's a longshot, but I figured asking here is about as good of a chance of finding it as I'm going to get... thanks in advance!

As the title says. Recently picked up a MSX2+ for shockingly cheap after being impressed with the system's library of games. For now I'm just looking for the best value gaming experience on original hardware, whether that's original releases or homebrew .dsk programs. Should I be looking at a Carnivore 2+, a MFROM SCC+ SD 1 Slot + 512k (a mouthful!), or something else?

I'm about to download a translated version of AshGuine Story II for emulation, but I have no idea what any of these file names mean. What are the numbers on the end, such as "3132"? What does "Trainer+6" mean? Which version should I download? (For reference, this is the site.)

These are the settings that i put, but this is me just guessing without an example.

Wanting to make a graphical hack for MG2SS but have been having trouble finding any info on how to edit an MSX games tiles, with most of my finds being for homebrew don't know if anyone here has done this before and could point me in the right direction.
