@Hamlet: I use both. I enjoy my originals, and use them "normally" (not on regular basis). I don't have that collectors feaver that some have, that you put your originals in plastic or behind glass. And although the emulators now days are excellent, it can't beat the fealing I have using the real thing. I guess I have the same feeling most of the msx.org visitors have. We have grown up with msx! And although I enjoy playing modern games, I just can't abandon MSX. Every once in a while I just have the need of playing comic bakery or beat sd-snatcher for the 5th time 
I think for me that is the difference. When I beat or completed a modern game, I almost never play it again, where some msx games I play over and over. I never get bored playing them again. Like I wrote, I can't explain, it's a feeling.
My (ex) girlfriend once said, "Why don't you just use that cute little 1chipMSX thing all the time and get rid of the rest? It sure takes up less space than that big MSX2+ thing of yours!"
I still believe to have responded to that in the most mature and appropriate way possible.

Hahaha. My wife accepts my hobbies, because I accept hers, and her hobby is wayyyy more expensive than all my hobbies combined 
I bet that freed up a lot of space?

After so many years we could state that MSX is, somehow, in our blood. Just a simple SCC compositions to be delighted in. It's not a matter of quality sound or whatever, no one would understand. It's, in fact, pure music for our ears!
