I have a couple of Backup Technique magazines, and several Game Lab(o)s. Many used bookstores in Japan have a few issues of Game Lab but usually they're around 2003-2008. The most interesting articles (& related to MSX, of course) are from much earlier, like 1994-1999. Nowadays Game Lab is all about copying DVDs and playing various emulators on PSP and DS, whereas in the past they had... well, articles about copying copy-protected computer software, game multicarts, and RGB hacks for retro game systems. Old issues of Game Lab, and any issues of Backup Technique are a bit hard to find.
Yeah, older issues of Game Lab from around 2000 backwards were VERY interesting with loads of great info. These days they still do some nice features however there's far too much focus on crappy emulation I think. Yakumo
I saw some pc88/98, fm towns, x68000 and more machines mod and tips like the x68000 hard drive internal plug, external 3.5 x68000 flopy drive, and more and more i's for me an incredible source of solutions for home brew ^^.
Wow never knew a magazin like that existed, I always whished for one though. Well, that just proves once more that I was born on the wrong side of the world. Btw there are some on yahoo jpn.
He's having trouble signing up here so he made a thread on the Tototek forum: http://www.tototek.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=8035#8035
Yeah, I did a forum search on his name and found that he was among those who fell victim to the mass forum pruning back then.
