As in other threads, I declare I have developed a fully general tool and player for shooters (or arcade) with smooth scrolling on msx1 able to support any kind game with “linear” levels.
The system, named “filmotron” (TR), is able to encode levels of any size, scrolling in any direction at any speed, where any kind of large enemy and background animation is possible and supported by the system.
The filmotron tool produces large dumps of precomputed data already in SCC megarom format, just starting from a sequence of frames of the scrolling background. Any animation in these frames will be part of the data, without limits on the possibilities of the user, if not his creativity.
The tool will be released, as soon as we will close the first shooter in megarom format we started to develop. It will be the port of the arcade version of Salamander. All this on mx1 !
Stay tuned.

Hmmm, I would prefer a contest.
Someone can PLEASE re-create the MSX CRAP Competition? Marial 2 wants to see the light of the day! And we're all anxious for Vampier's new releases like Michael Jackson and the Apples.

Actually mine was already a contest. The title of the topic ends with a question mark.

Many powerful tools are developed by a secret team with contributions from Mars and Pluto citizens. I've already mentioned the Universal Deprotector Tool, available for any system, any format, any protection type.

The secret team has many other projects, such like a Permanent Coding Tracer, that can reveal all the secret projects from other teams and the Perfect Shield Builder that can protect these teams from the Permanent Coding Tracer. The poison and the antidote .....

Of course, for obvious security and copyright reasons, I can't give you any link. You need to explore some secret area on the net to eventually find the tools of this galactical MSX team.

I created something that, for geeks over 35 years old, can stimulate your brain the same way it was estimulated when you had 13 years old and was playing Nemesis 2 on your nice MSX setup on your cozy dorm room. It is called:
An extra hour of sleep + an Advil for your wife permanent PMS

Fact or Faked?

Hey, the filmotron exists! It is only that, until I've released the shooter I'm developing, I will not publish it (or anyone will do his shooter for msx1 and my game will go unsold).
And I'm also using a brain shield against the Permanent Coding Tracer so you cannot see my work (it was designed by muffie and I had the projects signing an NDA).

After tons of mails of people begging to have a preview, I feel I have to release a
teaser in order to prevent the traffic overload of my mail server...

Some other news from the secret MSX galactical team : they are also planning an Universal Vaporware Detector and an Ultimate Vaporware Creator. I don't know which of these tools will be the most useful for the MSX community ...
