@uniskie2 But most of the problems were fixed on the “SCC+” (052539) weren’t they?

@leo__oliveira @gorry5 @kumokosi Gradiente got the same benefits, but used a very different tactic: they registered the Expert as a video-game and shipped the machine and keyboard separately out of Manaus, only putting them together in São Paulo. (🧵3/3)

@leo__oliveira @gorry5 @kumokosi They also had another subsidiary, called "SID Informática", that literally meant "Sharp+Inepar+Dedini", but this one had a corporate focus, because of the Bradesco bank involvement. They built CP/M and PC compatible computers. (🧵2/3) museucapixaba.com.br/memoria/anunci…

@art_wakachan Your website is a reminder of how much the Internet was fun before the "social network" era. Thankfully the browsers now have built-in translation, so it's possible for people overseas to enjoy it too. 🙂

@GabrielPyron Isn't there a patch to optimize the TF-IV collision detection routines and finally fix the frame rate issue?

@FFTheBravest @starmanblues It's sad, but true. They had all the needed parts. It was purely a nearsighted management decision. Same deal with Gradiente, with the black Experts a few years later.

@YueKuratsu Got a V9958? Why not an MSX2+ then? 😃

@FFTheBravest @starmanblues All the main chips of the MSX1 they produced in Brazil were imported: Z80, TMS9928, i8255 and AY-3-8910. The V9938 wasn't different in that regard. This is so true that both Sharp and Gradiente imported the V9938 to put inside their 80 columns expander cartridges,sold separately.

@ThiagoDjango @yoshimiru_SS It's not the CRT that stretches the image horizontally. Check the MegaDrive at 320x240 res. The NES/MSX1;2;2+/SMS/MD H32 mode/PC-Engine/SNES all follow the same dot-clock specification, and it was designed to stretch the pixels by hardware so it fills the screen horizontally.

@FFTheBravest @starmanblues An MSX2 isn't that much more expensive to manufacture than an MSX1. It doesn't make sense for the costs to have been "stratospherical"...

@yoshimiru_SS Your Pixel Art editor ran directly on the Famicom? 😲 I always thought some computer was used for the NES development. And possibly an MSX2 for editing the Pixel Art, since is Pixel Aspect Ratio is the same and GraphSaurus 2.0 was readily available.
