maybe an interesting topic... (just an idea... don't shoot me if not) post your contributions to the MSX-scene over the years here...

Capabilities:

- MAINLY graphical design
- minor progging skills


Kenda (1996-today?)
-------
Unknown -Mindless Triumph- (Musicdisk MSX-AUDIO)
Music Maniac (Musicdisk MSX-STEREO)
Music Maniac 2 (Musicdisk MoonSound)

Datax (1997-1998)
-------
Track 3 to 6 (Dutch Diskmagazine) _texts & GFX
Overload (Musicdisk MoonSound & MSX-STEREO) _did some GFX

Nice idea. However, be sure to check your 'my account' settings for your capabilities. We'll use those skills for an interesting feature in the future. Add yourself to the contacts list while you're at it

But euhm

Capabilities

- Musician in any tracker. Favorites: Moonblaster 1.4, Meridian, Musica (REALLY!!)
- Minor coding skills
- Always full of ideas

Flying Bytes (1990 - today, as the foundation still is alive.. a bit )

- MEG -> Annoyed an entire Zandvoort fair to hell with my remix of POING!
- Move the Huose (yup it was spelled this way on the disklabels) -> Annoyed people even more with boring housetunes created in about 1 or 2 days.
- Not Again! -> Although the game was quite annoying (level 3, singleplayer mwuhahahah) I still kinda like the music I made for it. Well.. the introdemo, menu song and one of the levelsongs
- Final Future - the unfinished master-game of Flying Bytes. Combination of Metal Gear, Contra and any other cool game you can think of. You can find the songs I made for it in the downloads section


MSX Resource Center

- Joined in 1999/2000. Nuff said.

The Very Secret Team

- TVSP. Can't tell more about it than the meaning of this abbreviation: The Very Secret Project. You'll never know what hit you.

Capabilities:
Code: basic/asm
Music: Scc Blaffer/Moonblasters

past projects:
All TeddyWareZ projects: parts of code/gfx all musics
Tunez 1: Garfield ed. (created by Sander Niessen): music
Pentaro Oddysey 2: music
xmas demo 2002: code/gfx ripping
bifi's musical memory xmas ed. : music
bifi's musical memory FD ed. : music
smaller projects I forgot about

upcoming:
TVSP: see snouts post
the lost world: moonsound conversion
deltasoft's konami quiz: SCC music
new group, new stuff (games)

Well, I see this topic as an additional chance to advertise my project.

After years of extensive fmsx testing and reporting bugs to Marcel de Kogel and Marat Fayzullin, I bought myself Yamaha MSX2 and started coding again.

What I've done so far:

1) created Japanese and English disk versions of Solid Snake Demo for 128K RAM MSX
2) adapted RNC PRO-PACK decompression code for use on MSX
3) used this compression scheme to create more than 70 self-extracting disk versions of MegaROMs. (I also added an SCC auto-detection to some of them.)
4) found the way and tools to load the games above on a diskless MSX2 (from CD via tape interface) in only 3 to 6.5 min.

My future plans:

1) I help WYZ to create tool that will make tape loading even faster
2) Advertising my project for owners of diskless 128K MSX2 machines - I hope this may stimulate interest in using again these tens of thousands MSX2 machines spread in ex-USSR and in the other places where such computers are common.
3) Finiding more time for MSX-ing, because now I am a father of a newborn daughter

I think I might've forgot something, but this should be fairly complete. New projects are still in the pipeline (one of which ever since 1994 ^^ so keep an eye on our homepage!

[edit]
See, I forgot stuff.
Around 1993 I did programming on the BBS system and wrote TNI-Term, a terminal program.

Bombed, a level editor for Bombaman

Bitbuster, compression tool used to replace the ever annoying POPCOM

Current:
-Bombaman, still not finished but will be in the near future! Check the Bomba HQ to stay up to date!

Future:
nothing has been decided yet...

edit. argh am I the only one having troubles with getting the URLs correctly?!?!?

hmmm, not sure if I should do this

Skills:

Coding: Z80 (no real demo tricks yet), BASIC,C,PASCAL

Went away for about 10 years.

Present:

Openmsx (mainly the non-emulator aspects)

Future:

Who knows. I like to do something for the scene sometime.

Capabilities:
Saying 'I can do that'.
I am also great at not finishing projects.
Programming in MSX Basic. I am also trying to learn Z80 assembly code.

Worked on:
Lost of unfinished games. (gfx9000 shoot um up, mario-style game, and of course a rpg-type sd-snatcher killer).
Realfun, music tracker for MoonSound. (unfinished, needless to say...)
Lots of game editors, drawing tools...
And even more stuff already done by others (the I can do that-projects).
SjASM, the ultimate assembler for every cpu I program for. (well maybe the next version will actually do what this one promises...)
And of course I made lots of crappy music tunes while 'testing' Realfun...

Working on:
Realfun2 - The even-more-fun-tracker for MoonSound
The Best of Hamaraja Nights 2 - Actually I don't have to do that much with it. I just coded my name in the programming credits - that's about it.
The Lost World (or to keep Sunrise happy: The Last Dragon, it has NOTHING to do with Umax) - Okay here it comes: the rpg-type sd-snatcher/name your favourite rpg-killer rpg. Really.
And a new SjASM version...

Hey MrRudi, you seem to have done lots of coding. Still, your skills only list MSX-BASIC. I can't imagine all those products were programmed in BASIC!

Quote:

Globey & Snout, platform game (unfinished): all background graphics, animations, story

Who is Globey!? was it going to be a new character or some animal I forgot about

Globey was the MSX Engine dragon mascotte...
