      It's compressed in RAR format, so you must extract it first using WinRAR (in PC) to see the PDF files you're searching for. I downloaded the file and extract it and it worked. See some youtube videos about how to extract the compressed files.

    أصدقائي الأعزاء - الأخ العزيز فادي أشكرك على نشر كتاب ثقافة الكمبيوتر و على كلماتك الجميلة و أود الآن المشاركة بكتاب الكمبيوتر و التربية من نشر العالمية للكمبيوتر عام 1986 و اود لفت نظر الأصدقاء إلى أن هذا الكتاب يتحدث عن الكمبيوتر في مجال التعليم و هو صالح للأستفاده منه حتى الآن و كانت العالمية سباقة في ادخال الكمبيوتر لمجال التعليم في الوطن العربي و استخدام متطور لللغة العربية كان يعد من الانفرادات و الاعجاز في هذا الوقت المبكر من دخول الكمبيوتر الشخصي لمجال التعليم في الوطن العربي

    هذا فعلا رائع لم أكن أتوقع أن أرى هذه الكتب أونلاين. في الحقيقة يوجد كتاب لم أحصل عليه وبقي حسرة في قلبي أتمنى من كل قلبي أن أجده أونلاين. إسم الكتاب : الدليل الشامل للبرمجة. وهو كتاب كبير نوعا ما. وكشرا جزيلا هلى هذا المجهود الرائع...

Convert Raspberry Pi into MSX Computer (Minibian + OpenMSX)

Image
Greetings,

I downloaded the Linux Minibian image for the RPi, downloaded the correct packages and OpenMSX emulator with ALL MSX1 games and ALL Arabic educational software and then converted all this into an Image for 1GB SD-Card or more. 

Download the image file from the link below then burn it into an SD Card using Win32Disk Imager or Etcher or any similar software.

Click to Download Minibian + OpenMSX Image

When Minibian asks for login, you use:

User: root
Password: raspberry

Then, when the prompt line appears, write (openmsx), the OpenMSX emulator will run.

This and more info is shown in this video:



Thank you and God Bless, -Fadi

Biggest Collection of MSX Games Manuals

Image
Hi There,

Here is a link to a google drive folder that contains 295 MSX games manuals downloaded using a search in archive.org, I downloaded and uploaded them here to be downloaded as a bunch by selecting multiple files then right click and choose download since downloading them as single files from archive.org is difficult.
May be you'll see some files that are not MSX game manual, that is because I downloaded them as a bunch using some methods, and I didn't pay attention to all the files, please report me with the filename that is not an actual MSX game manual so that I remove it.
Here is the MSX Games Manual Folder

Thanks and God Bless
