In this forumthread some cool MSX-ers talked about the possibility of having an MSX emulator for the Series 60 mobile phones, such as the Nokia 3650 and the Nokia 7650. These mobile phones run the Symbian OS.
To our great and pleasant surprise, Juha Riihimäki was triggered and decided to give it a go.
After several years of excessive growth, becoming a foundation and turning to professional hosting, the MSX Resource Center has decided to join the http://www.lik-sang.com/default.php?lsaid=218411" rel="external">Lik-Sang affiliates program.

MSX Info pages moved
Due to the server failure of msx2.com Hans Otten was forced to move the MSX Info Pages elsewhere. Although some links might not be working yet, all files on the website are being moved to Funet, while the website is accessible again at http://members.chello.nl/h.otten/.

Recently the msx2.com domain went offline once again. Unfortunately this time it might result in a permanent down state due to technical problems. After 4 years the server experienced regular problems with memory and harddisks and it has served the MSX community quite well.
