Mario, aka Lumberjack informed us about the following:
Slide Station, the new disk magazine for MSX 2 that will have its first issue launched in this month, is being developing for be viewed by FlyBrowser 1.8 (a modified version of the brazilian MSX browser FudeBrowser and that will be always built-in on the disk magazine).
Shortly after the release of openMSX 0.2.0 for Linux, a port of the previous version (0.1.9) to Windows arrived at the MSX Resource Center headquarters. This version was ported by an unknown Japanese person, who considered making this port a joke.
Gilberto Dosvualdo told us he might be willing to produce new FM-Pak cartridges with the YM2413 FM Sound synthesizer if enough people are interested. Gilberto is setting up a list of people who are interested.
Albert Beevendorp, also known as BiFi, coded a new feature for the MSX Resource Center. MG-MRC stands for Metal Gear, MSX Resource Center and it's a MIRC-bot.With MIRC it's possible to chat on IRC-networks like Undernet. On Undernet you can find two popular channels where active MSX users gather: #msx and #msxbr.

MSX Xpress Bussum Report
Apart from our very own fair report and photoshoot, the second Bussum fair report just got online.
Poll results
Wow, we never had a poll-result as clear as this. This time, we asked our visitors to choose their favorite MSX soundchip. Right from the start, one chip took the lead and it never gave the lead away. Despite the technological lead of the OPL4 soundchip, and the discussion in our forum, the SCC soundchip won hands down.
We've placed a textual report on the MSX fair in Bussum this year online. If you weren't there you can read about what you've missed and why you should be there next year. If you did visit the fair, read about it and know why you should be visiting again next year
