Dual Picture Viewer (dPV) is a .SCR image viewer for the Amstrad CPC. I've just released a loader/patcher that upgrades v0.5d to (unnoficial) v0.5e, with M4 interface (SDcard support) and many other enhancements. frs.badcoffee.info/CPC/index… #CPC #Amstrad 🧵1/2

Today I released the MSX Pixel Art Collection Vol.6. This might be my last collection, since it took almost 4 years to collect enough files. The truth is that very few new images are being released for the MSX1/2/2+ nowadays. frs.badcoffee.info/MSXart.ht… #MSX, #8bit, #pixelart

The new Cuphead game was announced... ... for the Sega Master System! studiomdhr.com/special-bulle… #SMS, #8bit

Not exactly true. Registering a subsidiary like "EPCOM" was just a way to obtain the tax reductions from the legislation of that time, because the company had to specifically make only computer equipment. The Sharp brand was displayed on all boxes and advertising (🧵1/3)

Notice that the VG-8235 clearly has the NEC logo on its motherboard. The NMS-8245 doesn't have the logo, but it's undeniable that its motherboard is just a newer revision. Most of the components are even at the same places.

Not entirely true, since the Sharp brand wasn’t exclusively used on advertising. It was prominently present on all of the Hotbit line product boxes.

I've just released the v2.0 the Space Manbow enhancement patch. It does a complete overhaul on the game engine, with many enhancements, optimizations and bug fixes. frs.badcoffee.info/patches.h… Follow the thread for more details. 🧵 #MSX,#8bit,#patch

Impressive! It looks very similar to Space Harrier for the Sega Master System: youtu.be/usiaujwjv4M

Would MSX-BASIC kun be of any help with the performance?

BTW, there's a port of this game for the MSX2: youtu.be/ZT12Qu-jV2o
