Re: Pokitto Game Handheld For Makers

Maybe we can use it as smart gamepad - on Sega there will be game and on Pokitto map, weapons, inventory... Or for minigames as modern VMU.

Re: I need coder+writers MD/GENNY diskmag!!!

OK I will do.
Best will be to have some kind of universal engine:
- txt file for text with some kind of script (like html)
- vgm or tfm music player
- picture viewer (pixelart -> png/bmp to sega format)
- reading up/down page
- left/right next page
Animated gif? For intro?

32x192, which means 2 colors can appear in an 8 x 1 pixel area. The MSX has an overall
background zero-color, selectable from the 15. This also ...
