Athletic Land Beta - MSX - Konami - 1984 - leftwards walkthrough Manuel Bilderbeek 2024-03-07 | This is a left-ward walkthrough of the beta of Athletic Land by Konami in 1984. Can you spot the differences?Note that stage 10 is looooooooooooooooong..... or unfinished.Recorded with openMSX.
SVI Demo - MSX-BASIC - Ronex Computer AB - 1986 Manuel Bilderbeek 2024-01-24 | This is a demo that is on a disk with on the label:SH 738SPEL- OCH HJÄLPPROGRAMVER 1.4 FÖR SVI 738MSX BASICRONEX COMPUTER AB 1986
MSX Tape Computing 1 - Argus Specialist Publications - MSX Manuel Bilderbeek 2024-01-22 | I found an old MSX tape with an Aackosoft logo and "MSX Tape Computing" on it.... This seems to be the content. Alas, one program couldn't be properly dumped.
Hydlide 3 MSX2 with FM and voice (SCC) patch Manuel Bilderbeek 2023-08-29 | Short demonstration of the patch made by a Japanese MSX user. See mdpc.dousetsu.com/utility/msx/hyd3_en.htm for his website where you can download the patch.
Swing-Man (Aquarius/SVI, 1984, MSX) Manuel Bilderbeek 2023-07-15 | This is a full round of game play of the MSX game Swing-Man, as found in a release from Aquarius for the Thai market. It's actually a BASIC program, which explains the (not so high) speed gameplay...Recorded with openMSX on an emulated MSX2 (Philips NMS 8250).
Love my new PC when bisecting something in openMSX... Manuel Bilderbeek 2023-06-28 | Thanks Frank (and AMD)!
Hermaphroditus - MSX Tensei Kobo (2016) - gameplay and (partial) walkthrough Manuel Bilderbeek 2023-06-11 | Very entertaining MSX game, written in (Disk) BASIC, surprisingly in SCREEN 1.Played on a European MSX2 emulated by openMSX.
Zanac-EX Enhanced (MSX2) - play through Manuel Bilderbeek 2022-05-23 | Play through of Zanac-EX, a fantastic Compile game for MSX2 from 1986, enhanced by @VictorMartinez-ky2fh and his friends, for details see github.com/bladeba/MSX/tree/master/Enhanced%20Games/ZANAC%20EX%20%20-%20enhancedPlaying this on an MSXturboR with 2nd PSG on I/O ports 0x10-0x12, emulated by openMSX.This is a freaking difficult game! Lots and lots of reverse has been used to make this video (to be exact: 441).Note that there seem to be some minor bugs with the music, when a boss or stage is completed. It sometimes seems to start the wrong music and after a second, the correct music is started. Also, there are some areas with hardly any enemies. But for both things I haven't checked on the original unpatched game.
Zanac EX (Compile MSX2 game from 1986) bugs a bit on MSXturboR Manuel Bilderbeek 2022-01-05 | This video shows a bug in Zanac-EX (at 2:01) when running it on an MSXturboR (in this case, a Panasonic FS-A1GT). You may think this is an emulation bug (this is recorded with openMSX), but I own the original game and the same MSX and it shows exactly like this on the real hardware. Did you know about this bug? I for sure did not!Luckily the bug is not fatal: it doesn't hurt the game play at all.In the meantime, some people made a fix patch for the game :)
Yamaha CX5M Demo Program - around 1985 Manuel Bilderbeek 2021-12-16 | This is a video showing the Yamaha LDR-02 CX5M Demo Program. It is a cartridge with a program in MSX-BASIC, which uses the MSX-BASIC extensions provided by the YRM-104 FM Music Macro cartridge in the other cartridge slot.The machine emulated (by openMSX) here is the Yamaha CX5M, a 32kB MSX1 computer with an OPM (YM2151) FM synthesizer built-in.
GFX-CAR tiny demo for GFX9000 by Zelly/Fony Manuel Bilderbeek 2021-10-12 | A tiny demo of what can be done with GFX9000 (Yamaha V9990) if you would want to make a Micro Machines like game.Too bad it didn't get any further than this so far...
Dragons Lair for MSX2 - introdemo - NYYRIKKI - 2006 - HD recording Manuel Bilderbeek 2021-09-15 | Dragon's Lair demo for MSX2 & IDE/CF interface. Made by : NYYRIKKI 2006.This is the intro demo of Dragon's Lair, playing on an MSXturboR with IDE interface connected. Using a turboR gives better results because of the PCM device that can be used then. It also runs on a plain MSX2 with MSX-AUDIO and IDE interface connected, albeit that the sound quality is by far not as good.See also http://koti.mbnet.fi/asukkaat/dragon/This is an updated recording made using openMSX 17.0, in triplesize (HD), by request of Wolf.Original video here: youtu.be/6TzlaN0rnGU
Pyramid Warp Plus (2021) by TheNestruo/NeneFranz/Bitcaffe, MSX Manuel Bilderbeek 2021-06-02 | Play through of the enhanced version of Pyramid Warp, a 1983 MSX game by T&E soft. Amazing what they did to the game! I'm pausing a bit here and there so that we can listen to the fantastic music. The original game is very basic...
Bosconian (MSX): dont let the spy get away.... Manuel Bilderbeek 2020-12-23 | This is what happens if you let the spy get away in Bosconian (MSX version). It's hell. I could record this not due to my gaming skills but thanks to the reverse feature of openMSX.
Sammy Lightfoot (Colecovision) done quick: 10 levels of pure madness Manuel Bilderbeek 2020-06-17 | Here's a quick run of Sammy Lightfoot for the Colecovision. What a game... basically only has 3 scenes, but they vary a bit each level. I don't even know exactly what the variations are, but watch carefully and you'll see. I really couldn't see a difference between level 9 and 10 anymore, so there I stopped.I originally wanted to make a Tool Assisted Speedrun for this game. But I found it too boring to optimize fully. So in this run you see rather well optimized level 1-5 and the rest is quick but probably not 100% optimized.In the end I just decided to upload it for your enjoyment...Created with openMSX.
MSX2+ game prototype by SLotman/IconGames 2008 Manuel Bilderbeek 2020-03-28 | As downloaded from the Icon Games website. A prototype of an MSX2+ game. Pretty impressive stuff! It's running on an emulated MSX2 converted to MSX2+ and is created in Turbo Pascal, using libraries of Kari Lammassaari.Text from the website:Um protótipo de jogo, para MSX2+, com scroll fino horizontal e feito em screen 10/12 - com o código fonte em Pascal incluso!
CD Sequential game loading on openMSX Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-12-21 | Thanks to p_gimeno, we now finally have the CD Sequential working in openMSX!This is a CD released in about 1988 for the MSX system. You would connect it to your MSX cassette input. Track 1 contains the loader, which is a normally encoded MSX program (like on a tape). I load that program.The loader first wants you to adjust the signal (the volume button on your CD player). For that, there is a signal recorded after the program, on the same first track of the CD. So, the program then sees the signal and in the end it is satisfied with it.Then I insert a wav with track 12 of the CD Sequential cd and the loader then actually finds the program (Burger Kill) and loads much faster than the normal cassette release!
Dragon Slayer 6 - The Legend of Heroes (ドラゴンスレイヤー英雄伝説) - Falcom - 1990 - MSX2 Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-07-08 | The great opening demo and some game play of this fantastic RPG for MSX2 by Falcom. I really love this game. The music is great and the gameplay too, as well as the graphics. Sure, scrolling is choppy, but it never bothered me. Very great game to play.The game was only released in Japan, but in 1994 Oasis released an English translation, which was later enhanced by Randam and others. This is that enhanced English fan translation.I finished the game somewhere at the end of the 90's. It comes on 4 720kB floppy disks.Recorded with openMSX emulating a Sony HB-F1XD with a Panasonic FM-PAC for the sound.Uploaded mostly because I couldn't find a video with the original YM2413 intro in English.
Daewoo CPC-400 Demo (running on openMSX) Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-06-03 | As I recently fixed something with the Hangul display on this Korean MSX system in openMSX, I thought you might be interested what this demo looks like now.More information also here: youtube.com/watch?v=gLra0nEO1M8 - I'm actually remaking that video here :)The demo is loaded, listed and run from the demo disk that comes with this system. Thanks to the blueMSX team to make this video possible!PS: yeah, nice to list that whole program on SCREEN9, but it's awfully slow, isn't it!?
Daewoo CPC-400S SCREEN 9 with 256kB Hangul font ROM demo Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-05-31 | Just implemented in openMSX how the Daewoo CPC-400S handles Hangul fonts... also a nice demo of SCREEN9, a virtual MSX screen mode specifically for hangul, similar to KANJI screen modes on Japanese MSX models.
I TJING Chinees Orakel - MSX - Filosoft - 1985 Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-02-11 | Short demo of the program "I Tjing" which was published by the Dutch software house Filosoft in 1985.Running on openMSX emulating a Philips VG 8020/00 with a Philips VY 0010 disk drive.
MCM gokkast beursversie Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-02-10 | Twee versies van de GOKKAST variant die MSX Computer Magazine gebruikte op beurzen. Het oorspronkelijke programma staat in MCM nummer 2.Het programma was natuurlijk alleen voor intern gebruik en dat zie je aan de source code.De oorspronkelijke diskette bevatte erg veel rotte sectoren en beide versies waren dan ook beschadigd. Ik heb beide versies gereconstrueerd door de stukken MSX-BASIC code die ontbraken in de ene versie in de andere terug te zetten. Twee kanten op, dus. Het zou kunnen dat hierdoor toch iets veranderd is geworden, maar het lijkt mij nog redelijk plausibel dat het er zo uitgezien heeft.
DIGISAT MSX2 demo - by COMSAT Velp - 1986 Manuel Bilderbeek 2019-01-23 | DIGISAT MSX2 is the MSX2 version of the Digisat software, which interfaces with a weather satellite receiver/decoder, with which you could show the satellite images on the MSX2.This is apparently only a demo of the system.There was also a C64 version.
Mecha 8 for ColecoVision with SGM, by Oscar Toledo, running on openMSX Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-06-30 | Another demo of openMSX emulating a ColecoVision with Super Game Module and MegaCart, this time with Oscar Toledo's Mecha 8 game, of 128kB size.
Dragons Lair for ColecoVision SGM - published by Team Pixelboy - running on openMSX Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-06-30 | Demo of openMSX running Dragon's Lair, a 256kB MegaCart ROM for the ColecoVision with SGM (or Adam).
SGM test - openMSX ColecoVision with SGM emulation demo Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-06-30 | This video shows openMSX running ColecoVision with Super Game Module, running Oscar's test ROM. As you can see, the test is successful :)
New Devil Golvellius (真・魔王ゴルベリアス) English translation, game play on MSX2+ with MSX-AUDIO sound Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-06-06 | So, here's a video of the game play (disc B) of the English translation of this Compile game from 1988, running on an emulated Sanyo PHC-35J MSX2+ with Sony HBD-F1 disk drive, with a Panasonic FS-CA1 MSX-AUDIO cartridge inserted.During game play, the game doesn't seem to use any MSX2+ specific features. To me it just looks like as if it is being played on an MSX2.Emulated by openMSX.
New Devil Golvellius (真・魔王ゴルベリアス) English translation, intro on MSX2+ with MSX-AUDIO sound Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-06-06 | So, here's a video of the intro (disc A) of the English translation of this Compile game from 1988, running on an emulated Sanyo PHC-35J MSX2+ with Sony HBD-F1 disk drive, with a Panasonic FS-CA1 MSX-AUDIO cartridge inserted.Emulated by openMSX.
MSX Bosconian: 10 rounds Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-04-27 | For those who wanted to know how Bosconian MSX is at some higher rounds... 10 rounds of MSX Bosconian for your entertainment, emulated on a National CF-1200 MSX on openMSX. I heavily made use of the openMSX reverse feature and when the very long aggressive attacks take place, I also used slow down to 10% to survive.This is a tough game... but I still really like it :)If you like this, try Kobo Deluxe!
Galaxian Colecovision TAS: first stage on hardest level beaten a.s.a.p. Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-04-27 | The first TAS ever made on openMSX for the Colecovision system. For my and your entertainment!
Hi ALF (The Alf Demo) - MSX2 version by Uwe Schröder - 1988 Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-04-09 | This is an MSX port of the "Hi ALF", a.k.a. Alf Demo, as ported to the MSX by Uwe Schröder of the MSX Users Group W. Germany in 1988. It features a small animation and quite a large sample, played back on standard MSX hardware (AY-3-8910).Recorded with openMSX, emulating a Philips VG 8235 MSX2.
Super Bros. World 1 - Clover - 1991 - MSX - walk through Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-03-03 | A complete walk through of this horrible game. I needed 559 reverse actions in openMSX to create this video. I'm quite convinced that it's absolutely impossible to finish this game on real hardware. The red ghost some levels is impossible to avoid, I was happy I could get through the level with the reverse functionality...In the video you can see also many bugs in this game. The most annoying is the 2 times that you get a fake/empty level instead of a bonus thing (slot machine).About the controls: space is jump, B is fire when you have a flower and it seems that with D you can cheat: get more lives and money. I found this out during the game, hence some pauses and sudden life increments here and there.Finally, the game seems to be unfinished. After world 2 it simply stops, although the message is the same as the one at the end of world 1: the princess is in another world... Enjoy this video, as you won't enjoy the game!Playing on openMSX, emulating a Daewoo CPC-51 Zemmix (hence no MSX intro screen).
Tele Atlas Road Navigator software for Philips MSX2 Computer with CD-ROM player Manuel Bilderbeek 2018-02-04 | This demonstrates the Tele Atlas Road Navigator software, that was supposed to work on the Philips CDR-X1000 CD-ROM player, in combination with the Philips NMS-0210 MSX CD-ROM interface on a MSX2 computer (at that time probably the Philips VG-8230).The run shows the intro of the software, running on an emulated (openMSX) Philips VG-8230 MSX2 computer.At 2:05 I press the F1 key to continue.At the end, the software hangs up. I guess there it is supposed to actually access the CDR-X1000 with the Tele Atlas CD-ROM.The CD-ROM is in the Museon collection: http://cc.museon.nl/#904e4424-1b4e-437e-90e8-02a426f7f6c6The player too: http://cc.museon.nl/#03d08dc3-4ade-4e96-b2a9-fd3b0833ba31
Pixess - MSX2 - Compjoetania - 1994 Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-11-11 | This is a video showing Pixess, by Compjoetania, running on an emulated MSX2 with Moonblaster Stereo (MSX-MUSIC on one side, MSX-AUDIO on the other).The gae is pretty rare, probably mostly because it never was cracked. The copy protection is pretty good. This run was made with openMSX, running it from a DMK-image created with READ-DMK.The game is pretty OK, but I think the level design could be better. The game is way too easy. You never really get bothered by the enemies either... you have so much life that they are not very significant. At least not up to where I played. Also.... 15 levels per stage? Wow.
Skramble - MSX - Livewire/Aackosoft - 1984 Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-09-17 | A really crappy Scramble clone from 1984... The last stage is almost impossible to play and the first few stages are way too easy.But how does one ever beat that mothership at the end?? Let me know if you know...Steve Course did a lot better games on MSX later.Game played on openMSX emulating a Toshiba HX-10.
Retaliator - MGF - 1994 - MSX2 Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-08-31 | A horizontal shmup for MSX2/MSX2+ by MSX Gebruikersgroep Friesland (Jan van Valburg and friends), released in 1994 by Sunrise.In this video I play it on an MSX2+. On an MSX2 the sides of the screen are choppy, exactly like with Space Manbow.The copy I have here seems to be not entirely right as you can see... a couple of bosses have corrupted graphics. Too bad!It's probably me, but several aspects of the game I don't fully grasp:- how does the upgrade system work? I can upgrade the laser twice, but nothing happens when upgrading Missiles. And what is O for? Nothing seems to happen.- how is one supposed to finish this game without using tricks like 'reverse' which I used a lot? It's almost impossible to survive certain parts...So, I guess I'm missing something. Comment to enlighten me!All in all, not too bad at all for a couple of amateurs using screen 4 of the MSX2. Compare with Hydefos! Although that one is smooth at the sides without needing an MSX2+..
EXOR - AurorA - 1997 - MSX2 (triplesize) Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-05-19 | The second MSX game by AurorA, and yet another puzzle game.It starts easy, but it's getting really tricky at some point! The levels are completely random generated, so you can get lucky and get an easy level. You can even get an already cleared level.... (yes, that can be considered as a bug) you'll have to use 2 EXORs to clear it again to continue :)Sorry for the long video, but it's quite addictive... So I just uploaded all of it.As with Ruby & Jade, only today I got this original disk dump working in openMSX (on machines with a WD2793 FDC).Enjoy!
Ruby & Jade - AurorA - 1997 - MSX2 (triplesize) Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-05-19 | The first game released by AurorA, in 1997. I especially like the music :) Good job, Eric! Graphics are also quite smooth, good job Martin!Anyway, we finally got it working (with copy protection) in openMSX... turns out we had a small bug in openMSX which prevented the game from running on a machine with WD2793 FDC. Fixed now!Enjoy...Oh, this was recorded with the triplesize option. Pros: YouTube renders at full framerate. Cons: some scaling is needed for the used screen mode (512x212). See the other video to see what happens with doublesize mode. Which do you prefer? Or should we make a quadruplesize mode to get both high frame rate and clean scaling? But then video size will explode even more and encoding will be even slower...

Agony for MSXturboR and GFX9000 by IOD - prototype/proof-of-concept/wip Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-03-02 | This is a video of the prototype/proof-of-concept/wip of the MSX port of Agony, a famous Amiga shooter. It runs on MSXturboR with GFX9000 emulated on openMSX. Note that this version still contains some bugs and that openMSX also contains some bugs, with the result that it doesn't run as-is on the real hardware.The video is just to give you an impression what was shown at the MSX Fair in Nijmegen on 21st January 2017, by the two former IOD members Mumby and Squeeky.The game uses graphics from the original Amiga game with permission from the original author.Oh, and yes, this is 8-bit hardware, in essence :)
Not Again! by Flying Bytes level 3 - reprise Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-01-29 | OK, so in my previous video I complained that the game is too repetitive as you can't influence the way the ball is going. Appears I was wrong. If you hit the fire button while hitting the ball, you can change the ball's direction! So I redid level 3 with this knowledge and this looks a lot better, doesn't it?Thanks for correcting me, Anne!
Why I stopped playing Not Again! by Flying Bytes (for MSX2, 1994) Manuel Bilderbeek 2017-01-28 | The video shows my suffering in level 3 of this game... even with openMSX trying to play as perfectly as possible, the game still seriously annoyed me.Firstly it is very hard to get to hit that exit in the bottom right part of this level. Also notice the bug at 4:43. I could never have made that ball...At 13:48 I give up, having no hope that the ball will ever hit that target. At 17:06 the miracle happens, so I try to bounce it back in the same direction as soon as I can to finally escape from level 3 of this game...This annoying behaviour (very hard to really manipulate the direction of the ball, leading to very long waiting before you hit the thing you need to hit) really stopped me from playing this game further.On top of that, the music in the levels is boring (it's way to short/repetitive). The graphics and sound effects are pretty good. The programming itself also seems quite decent. But the playability is just too low.
MCM PD disk B17: Cracxy Crew Interlacing Demo - 1989 - MSX2 Manuel Bilderbeek 2016-12-30 | This is the content of MSX Computer Magazine PD disk B17 running on an MSX2. It's a demo of interlacing. One of the most impressive interlacing images that have been hand drawn I've ever seen on MSX2. It's a net resolution of 512x424. And yes, really hand drawn, read the scroll text for the details...It doesn't come out very well on YouTube... run this disk on a good MSX emulator or your real MSX to appreciate it :)
