===2001=== [[File:1chipMSX (White background).jpg|thumb|[[1chipMSX]]]] In 2001, Kazuhiko Nishi initiated a MSX revival around an official MSX [[emulator]] called MSXPLAYer. This is the only official MSX emulator as all MSX [[copyright]]s are maintained by the MSX Association. In 2004, a Dutch company Bazix announced they had become the representatives of MSX Association in [[Europe]], being the English contact for any questions regarding the MSX trademarks, copyrights, and licensing. On October 17, 2006, Bazix launched WOOMB.Net, a website selling MSX games in English and other languages, with a selection of 14 games. In Japan, game sales began earlier, through Project EGG. ''WOOMB.Net'' was the English counterpart of this and other Japanese services offered by [[D4 Enterprise]], which also announced in August 2006 the launch of a new MSX2 compatible system called the "[[1chipMSX|one chip-MSX]]", a system based on an [[Altera]] Cyclone EP1C12Q240C8 [[FPGA]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=MSX Resource Center |title=One Chip MSX MKII |url=http://www.msx.org/news/msx-revival/en/one-chip-msx-mkii |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415132339/http://www.msx.org/news/msx-revival/en/one-chip-msx-mkii |archive-date=April 15, 2012 |access-date=2011-06-22 |publisher=Msx.org}}</ref> The one chip-MSX" is similar in concept to the [[C-One]], a [[Commodore 64]] clone also built on the basis of a single FPGA chip. The new MSX system is housed in a box made out of transparent blue plastic, and can be used with a standard monitor (or TV) and a PC keyboard. It has two MSX cartridge slots and supports the audio extensions [[Yamaha YM2413|MSX-MUSIC]] and SCC+. A [[memory card|SD/MMC-flashcard]] can be used as an external storage medium, emulating a [[Disk storage|disk drive]] and can be used to boot [[MSX-DOS]]. Due to its [[VHDL]] programmable hardware, it is possible to give the device new hardware extensions simply by running a reconfiguration program under MSX-DOS. The "one chip-MSX" also has two [[USB]] connectors that can be used after adding some supporting VHDL code.
