MRC Challenges on MSX Valley

Since 2003, the MSX Resource Center starts different challenges to promove the MSX Revival. This excellent initiative has proven the vitality of the MSX community as he has given some very interesting demos and games.

You can now find on MSX Valley zipped disk images that are ready to be runned in your preferred emulator. It concerns the demos of the following challenges : Scroll and Logo, Snowfall, Under Water and Bounce. All the demos are illustrated by screenshots and in some cases, you can also download MP3 files.

All the MP3 files are the result of the conversion of WAV files created by using the blueMSX emulator. The format of the screenshots is the small blueMSX format (272x240), even if some screenshots have been made on another emulator.

Other MRC challenges will follow in the future on MSX Valley.

" This animation is followed by the loading of many files; wait for the moment that the drive is no more busy, then insert disk 2 and press on the spacebar"

Can you please change that set o' .DSK's then with the final version-only? The final doesn't have the black 'change disk' screen, and runs on 3.58mhz..
I esp. want to get rid of the old version

The zipped file includes both versions : the challenge version and the final version.

The above mentioned precision was required of course for the challenge version.

By the way, the LZH file (that is on MRC) includes only the challenge version ....

That's why I've included both versions and added the above mentioned precision.

"By the way, the LZH file (that is on MRC) includes only the challenge version ...."

yes, because I requested that @ Snout

The point is that I want to prevent half-products to be spread.. it's not as if I like having that black-screen, or 7mhz++-only. So gradually I wish to see the initial version to become fully extinct. Same counts for Wings btw, the final version also has some bugs fixed over the challenge-release.

Ok, I'll change this page with only the final version in the zipped file.

What about Coral 2 ? Should I make the same ('delete' the Challenge version) ?

I'd say, in any case: use the final versions.. there's no real change of features or content in final versions, only bugfixes..

btw, I can't remember if other entries had challenge- and final-versions .. I guess every participant deserves to have showcased the final-version-only..

tnx

I've just updated the page about the Sphere demo !

Wolf : thanks for the good advices, it's indeed better to keep only the final versions.

The Coral 2 page is also updated

Nice! In any case I think it's important to showcase quality, final-products. If 'strangers' download MSX games/demos somewhere (just as I try emus and games from other platforms sometimes, platforms of which I know every little!) then it's important to leave a good impression! Sometimes I can't get C64 games/demos to run in Vice .. well, I quit trying then and skip to the next game/demo. But perhaps that's just me..

and it's also the 2nd time we post at the same time ^_^

It must be a record for the Guiness book :

11 hours after the moment that I have submitted news for the first page about MSX Valley, still nothing on the first page !

Just seen the news on the first page !

Many thanks !

You're welcome.

Mars: send your Genic picturedisk 5 to MRC for the database, the one currently there is a bit broken..
