The goal of the MAP is to be the ultimate source of information for the MSX programmer or programmer-to-be. The main target is assembly language, because that’s what the maintainers’ preferred programming language is, but most information will be useful to users of other languages as well. The MAP is currently maintained by TNI members BiFi and GuyveR800. Formerly Grauw was part of the team, but he quit the team.
Where to start
The site is divided into several sections, which you can select from at the top. The Articles section contains several articles about several topics, ranging from tutorials for beginners to advanced programming techniques. Resources contains a number of of technical references and datasheets. The Sources section contains our collection of source code. This includes both short, common routines, which you might want to use in your program, aswell as the sources of several big well-known programs. In the Download section you will find several useful, even necessary, tools which are programming related. And finally, there is the Links section, with links to other development-related sites. Furthermore, if you have any MSX programming or MAP site related questions, you can ask them at the #msxdev @ Rizon IRC channel.
