Segun he entendido, el 2G lo están apagando, pero todavia queda algo. No sabía que se había ido ya! 🤔

La idea tampoco era usarlo en serio, simplemente para ver si podría funcionar todavía y probarlo unos días antes de que se extingue el 2G para siempre...

Busco un operador que todavía ofrezca tarjetas SIM 2G, compatibles con mi Nokia 3310.
Looking for an operator that still provides 2G SIMs compatible with my Nokia 3310.

Congrats to the #ZX81 on its 45th birthday! My coding life started on that little machine at a friend's house. We watched WarGames and made a password screen. It was magic. 😍
Never used it again after that, as the Spectrum came into my life. Still have fond memories of that day.

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

I feel like finishing Aleste again ( It's been 35 years or so! ) but I need to see if I can get an hour or two free-time some day 😅

Don't know what took me so long to get one ;-)

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

Massive swarm of starlings in the south of Alicante city. Difficult to get a good shot, this is the best I could do today. I know there's more of them, but they weren't cooperating and refused to fly all together simultaneously! 😜

Special treat from nature this morning, showing off a massive particle system in front of my window. Life has a pretty good GPU! 😅

Any estimates on how many bird particles? 10.000? More?

Neat! @brewotaku.bsky.social magazine #008 did a review of #MSX Matchy Matchy ❤️

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!

In person, the Japanese box is way more impressive (at least imo ). The shiny front is beautiful.

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 had a similar experience with someone using the original cardboard Konami box as the shipping box. Wrapped in brown tape, so the cartridge wouldn't be damaged in shipping. 🙈

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

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

But we'll never know for sure what happened. Seeing as back then, there was no color difference, so nobody noticed ;-)

You're correct though! 😅

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... 🤔

Just found out my Cube Droid are on this site that adds achievements to retro games, including #MSX games! It works by having the emulator watch specific memory addresses and overlay unlocked achievements on screen. Such a great idea!

retroachievements.or...

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! 😍

Pretty dark stuff, imho. But beautifully done!
