New episode of the podcast Cinco duros: Zigurat

Cinco duros launches the third season of its podcast with a review of the beginnings of the distributor Zigurat, created thanks to the need to distribute software from those who formed Made in Spain.

The games from Made in Spain/Zigurat may not be as well-known as Dinamic or Topo, but they deserve recognition for their innovative talent in games. Examples of this are Humphrey , The Mystery of the Nile , The Dark Power or Paris-Dakar .

The truth is that Zigurat survived the decline of the 8-bit era and even made its debut in the difficult world of arcade machines. Where others failed or didn't even try, these dreamers were able to achieve what seemed impossible.

The story is divided into two episodes. The link below is for the first one. To hear the next one we will have to wait a little longer. I will update the post when it is available.

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 .
