Everything about MSX, and more…

MSXDev’22 #11: Micro Rocketz

Keen on overpowering planet Earth, a menace lurks from beyond the stars.
MSXDev’22 #11: Micro Rocketz

This contest entry is… well… something unusual to say the least. But, you will have to try it to understand.

The game story tells that a menace lurks from beyond the stars keen on overpowering planet Earth, and only the powerful female cyborg SVETLN_A7 can defend the planet with her light-speed reflexes!

The game tagline says “Stop the alien invaders from a parallel universe! One dimension, one world, one invader“, and it is exactly what it is. Once again, only the ones who try it will understand it.

But, be warned, when they say “get ready for a hyperspace battle involving huge energy matrix blocks“, they mean it.

Note: The game Micro Rocketz is a rehash of Skullrs, published at MSXDev’17.

openMSX updated with new interface (v 20.0) openMSX is the oldest MSX emulator . It's been with us for many years, and while it's had a reputation for being somewhat cumbersome to use by some less experienced users (myself included), today it's by far the best alternative to using a real machine. Throughout its existence, it has had to compete with other competitors (fMSX, ruMSX, MarsMSX Meisei, BlueMSX, etc.) that haven't made things easy for it. The latter, BlueMSX, was my choice for a long time due to its user-friendly interface and ease of use, without having to install the BIOS for the different MSX models ( System ROMs ), for example. When BlueMSX stopped being updated, I decided to give openMSX a try, better understanding how it worked in order to take full advantage of the huge number of options it has. This way, I managed to forget about BlueMSX and embrace openMSX as my favorite emulator to this day. This version 20.0 of openMSX debuts a new graphical user interface that is a complete revolution. The debugger and Catapult, which until now were separate programs, are now integrated into the emulator itself . Although they will continue to be available for download from the emulator's official website, the team has already announced that they will no longer be updating them. All the options of these Catapult and the debugger are integrated into openMSX. In addition, all the other options offered by the emulator are now accessible via a menu bar at the top of the screen. It couldn't be more convenient and simple. I'm very glad that openMSX has taken the path of being more user-friendly with an interface that, while not spectacular, more than meets expectations in a program like this. The path has already been laid out, and we'll see how it evolves in upcoming updates. A full description of the updates and changes made in this version can be found at this link .
