Poisonic, could you please stop making unfunded assumptions? Especially since you seem to be utterly ignorant. Stop using loads of exclamation marks would be a great start. Normally your posts are already extremely dismal to read, and for some reason it hasn't improved over the years. I'm not talking about language here. It's the highly juvenile attitude which you seem to use to expose yourself as being "the tough guy." It's not tough, it's useless.

Thanks.

. Cartridges are more expensive though

It isnot Arjan , I discovered that it might cost a little more then e.g. Bombaman and certainly not the amount the flashcartridge of Padial costs.
But to do that legal you need the cooperation of Bazix/MSXA

Hey! This topic is growing fast.

Any "critic" topic grows really fast, whereas more "constructive" topics tend to be forgotten easily, with fewer reactions. This is the best description that you can have about the state of the MSX community. Everyone is ready to "burn and trash", but not many people want actually to "build".

Let's change our mind.

Bla BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA

Well did you see the contracts then ....... hehehehe.

they can only protect 3 games govelius 1/2 and aleste 2!
BECAUSE THE HAVE PREMISSION TO TRANSLATE IT !

and the most MSXérs Have a REAL MSX. (and prever to play MSX games on a MSX)

i'm against a future of emulated MSX game releases!!!!!!!!!

And i support the msx underground !!!!!!

and if bazix would ever sell REAL MSX Software maybe i would buy it

By the way if someting works in japan it does not mean that it also becomes a hype here!!

japan is more trendy than europe (so i think Bazix will become bankrupt in 2 years)

A real revival is with real msxés and not an emulated one

I use msx since 1985 and i have a turbo-R all the hardware that there is at the moment exept for a v9990 digitiser

so i know where i'm talking about!

an european wants Real MSX stuf for its money!!! not fake emulated crap.

To produce cardridge-pcb's are not so expencive exept for the production costs and a cassing.

I think its still in their basement some where back then it was to expancive to trow it in a trash can!

Sunrise have a case made you know, further you need a flashrom of 8 megabit( if I take Bombaman as example) some galchips and small material.
Cut the PCb size of e.g. an Ide interface into two. So can be between 25 and 35 euro ( but it depends also of the terms agreed between softwaremaker and producer) and under the condition that the software is legally programmed so that there are no obstacles as regards copyrights etc.

By the way, everyone can make his own translation of these games and distribute the translation under a legal form : an IPS patch. Bazix can't stop that , except if your distribution is not free.

In this last case, from a legal point of view, there must be a 'copyright agreement' between the translator and the original authors of the game and Bazix could be the interface between both parts to realise this agreement.

sunrise: 35 euro for a cartridge sounds cool! I'm sure MSX sceners would buy games on cartridge for that price. On the other hand, non-sceners will probably think it's too much for an 'old' game. Depending on which market Bazix is targeting, selling cartridges might or might not turn out a smart thing to do.

If € 35,- is the costprice, you need to add certain factors to the get the salesprice...
