Rieks Warendorp Torringa, one of the members behind the dutch MSX Group Sargon has been working on a new website for a couple of months. Now, his first efforts can be watched online.

@rroba magazine scan
As we reported earlier, the March 2003 edition of @rroba magazine featured a large interview with the MSX Resource Center crew. We even made it to the cover of that magazine and promised you to post the evidence in our MSX forums sooner or later. Well... here it is!
A new version of MESS was released a few days ago. MESS is an emulator that can emulate many popular homecomputer and gameconsole systems, including MSX1 and MSX2. MESS is based on the popular MAME emulator (multiple arcade machine emulator).
MSX Info pages update
Hans Otten added some valuable MSX-related information to his website once again. This time, the following articles were added:
- How to connect a TEAC PC diskdrive to a Yamaha FDD-051
- How to improve sound on an SVI-728
- How to add a second cartridge slot to an SVI-728
25 days ago we offered you the opportunity to vote for a multilingual MSX Resource Center. The results of this poll were so interesting and motivating, that we are planning to introduce a multilingual MSX Resource Center soon.

Return of MG-MRC
It has been a while since msx.org went to a brand new server (twice) to adjust the IRC bot to it, but right now, MG-MRC has returned to its place on the net, updating visitors with news.
We have more features in mind for the bot and some of them are already posted in the forum.
