MSXdev24 sponsoring – Pocket Bank Magazines

A unique set of classic printed magazines

No less than nine ASCII Pocket Bank magazines found their way into the winners-lootbox, as a gift from an established MSX systems trader. Used but well preserved copies of this print material are for any winner to take.

During the golden era of MSX computing, information dissemination was primarily done through printed magazines. Home computer enthusiasts treasured these publications, which are now historical artifacts akin to the MSX system itself. Globally, a diverse array of printed magazines was available. Among them was the Japanese ASCII Pocket Bank magazine, a series dedicated to MSX programming. Each issue centered around a specific theme, culminating in a total of 32 editions. Nine of these editions are included in the MSXdev24 winners-lootbox, generously donated by Ahmed Al Ali.

Similar to these magazines, Ahmed is passionate about preserving the MSX legacy by gathering related items from attics where they would otherwise gather dust. Once these valuable pieces of history are recovered, they are passed on to collectors or MSX enthusiasts, ensuring the machines are safeguarded from doom. Ahmed Al Ali conducts fair trading through various digital platforms, including the trading forum on the MSX Resource Center.

If you’re interested in acquiring an MSX machine or related items, consider checking out Ahmed’s trading. A big thank you to Ahmed for this generous offer—it’s greatly appreciated! To the winner of this set: enjoy your reading!

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 .
