Only 7 days to go until #MaySiXth, worldwide known as MSX DAY! Everyone will post a picture of their #MSX setup; So get cleaning, adjust the lights, look for the perfect angle and make it a shot to be remembered! But don't post it yet! This year there will be a free game too!

I might have made a TeleText Viewer for the #MSX! Got a hand from AI and I "borrowed" some code from the Viditel cartridge. But still quite a lot of work getting everything to work smoothly. This uses the UNAPI library. This is Dutch (NOS) teletekst only, for now.

Big fat labels so that I won't take the wrong tapes box again!

New #MSX game in the collection! And what a game; ALESTE! Let's see if I still have what it takes to beat it! 😅

Looking through my games, I decided I like these games very much, even though the chance of me ever playing them is extremely low. I just enjoy the cheerful boxes! 😅 #MSX

Oh, I give up! It’s impossible to take a cozy, wintry shot in the south of Spain with the sun blasting through the window. 😅 Merry Christmas, everyone! And remember, there’s a free Christmas game for the #MSX2. Have fun! bitsofbas.itch.io/cu...

Found a pretty unique (at least for me!) troops cheat sheet for Super Daisenryaku. It came with a magazine, afaik, but it looks so good, it should've been in the game box! All items photographed from screen, must've been a lot of work too! #MSX

It's really no match between the European and the Japanese versions of Magical Kid Wiz. Glad I could pick up that shiny Japanese version for cheap, even though it was an empty box (since then, I found a loose cartridge too 😅) #MSX

I was lucky enough to find a loose "5th Anniversary" tape to complete my Hydlide 3 box! #MSX

🅼🆂🆇 bitsofbas @bitsofbas.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

And that's probably more #MSX Hydlide versions than I will ever need. Or is there a secret Bee Card version? 😅

And I'm actually going to use it! That's why I started this project in the first place. Let's play some emulated games with my The Arcade Pro joystick. As they were meant to be played 😅 4/4

I'm not planning to start a business or anything, but it's a really cool experience. And amazing how much is possible for really very little money. Hats of to people who make complex devices though, this was very small, very simple and even so, it took quite some planning. 3/4

Yes, these are ready-made available. But I wanted to make one myself, just to see if I could. First a quick protype and when I got it to work, I designed and ordered some PCBs and got a bunch of connectors and RP2040s. 2/4

I've made a little device that takes a 2 button #MSX joystick on one end and poops out a USB gamepad on the other side. There's an auto-fire option that can be (de)activated by holding down one of the fire buttons and rotating the stick a couple of times. 1/4

Four shades of grey! What the heck happened at Philips in the 80's when they made these keycaps? * Most of the keycaps got brown. * QWERTY row sometimes remains grey. * Numerical keys are always grey. 🙃 #MSX #Philips

Had some more fun playing with retroachievements.org/ but the biggest gripe is that I have to play in an emulator and I miss my joystick! But I found this adapter in a drawer which serves pretty well to make my trusty 80's joystick talk USB. Just one fire-button though... 🤔

This is the official OST for the Parodius arcade game. I hear some similarities between this and the MSX version, but it's not the same music. The eyepatch of the penguin is actually painted on the outside of the jewel case. When you pull the booklet out, he's got no patch! 😅

Finally found NG1 ( already had NG2 ). This is the Namcot Game series with on this disk: Galaga King & Balloon Bosconian Warp & Warp Tank Battalion XVM They're all good #MSX games! 😍

Some more Japanese HAL games for the #MSX collection! Got the Takara version of Heavy Boxing for a change. 😅

I really love this Gao figurine that #MSX gamers know from the Firebird (Hi no Tori) game. He's only got one arm, but that's how he's supposed to be in the game too. (Those who've seen the movie know that his arm count is going to change soon. 😱) Took me forever to find one!

The SD Snatcher box is such an iconic #MSX release, I wanted to give it some love. The original box art is from Naoki Satoh and I added a little AI trickery and some modelling and animation with Blender. Hope you like the result!

Just received the Philips edition ( NMS 8962 ) of Hydelide 1 for #MSX 2 in the mail. Afaik, there's no cartridge release for this game, only disk and cassette (!) The Philips edition also comes with five languages in the manual.

Several ROM versions exist of #MSX Yie Ar Kung-Fu. In my collection it’s simple however: The serious cover is the tough game, the comic cover is the super easy one! 😅
