proselytism viene de un album lleno de pináculos musicales, una seguidilla de magnum opuses que cierran con broche de oro la "discografía" de the quick brown fox, dejándolo como alias no activo y solo apareciendo en un album de kobaryo haciendo el famoso Frame Advance Remix de Tool-Assisted Speedcore

MSXBOOK is a cheap retro laptop designed for compatibility with a 1980s Japanese PC platform

The makers of the BOOK 8088, Pocket 386, and Hand 386 line of portable retro computers are back with a new model called the MSXBOOK. Like other products from 8086Yes!, the MSXBOOK is a compact computer with retro hardware that allows you to run software designed for decades-old computers without the need to rely on software emulators.

But this model has a bigger, higher resolution display, a […]

Tomorrow is the sixth of May. @bitsofbas last year came up with the wonderful idea to make this day about #MSX, and call it #MaySiXth, and share our love for this wonderful #homecomputer from the #80s in whatever way you can think of.
So, if you have an #MSX1, #MSX2, #MSX2Plus, #turboR, #OneChipMSX, or similar, whether it is real or emulated, fire it up, take a photo or screenshot, and share it tomorrow with the hashtags #MaySiXth and #MSX. 💙

May Sixth screen in the style of an MSX bootlogo, with the M, S, and X of the word capitalised and stylised like that of the original logo.
Underneath is the text "Get your tapes, floppies and cartridges ready!" in all-caps.

@syx oh, and the reason @bitsofbas suggested to get a Japanese model if you are in the USA is mostly because those models will have a voltage closer to your native one, as European models tend to be designed for 220V or 240V.
#MSX2Plus and #turboR bring a newer VDP, which may be nice, but the amount of games that support it, is limited.
#MSXTurboR adds support for the #R800 CPU in addition to the previous generations' #Z80, which certainly can give a nice speed boost, especially in day-to-day software like file managers when browsing solid state media with large directories, but it comes with a huge price markup, and only a limited catalogue of games.

For comparison, here's the amounts of software indexed in #GenerationMSX per generation of #MSX:

  • MSX (4193)
  • #MSX2 (2972)
  • MSX2+ (145)
  • Turbo-R (179)

You can use generation-msx.nl/software/res to list all MSX2+ and turboR software indexed in #GenMSX to get an idea of what kind of games support those generations, or use the checkboxes in the sidebar to filter in/out other generations or specs.

An interesting introduction to the platform that covers the , , and : youtube.com/watch?v=AFRf87SqWrw
It's refreshing to see one of these videos covering this platform for which I have quite some , and not just focus on the crappy ports and games without smooth scrolling, and instead highlights the high quality releases, excellent , hardware extensions and even patches that add to existing .

Not quite sure what model MSX this is; probably either an or .

Judging by all the stickers, it's seen quite some use since the late eighties, early nineties. ;) ftw 😂

MoonBlaster tracker from a Sunrise CompactFlash ATA-IDE interface, at an MSX Party, connected to a heavily stickered Philips MSX monitor, and a set of speakers.
A Philips Music Module is seen lying on top of the machine. The can in the hand, is quite likely an energy drink. ;)
