UPDATE 03/01/2014

MSX blue will be back online on 1st February 2014 - Planned changes :

* IPS files in stead of patched roms for all Konami/Hudson games
* Extension of this measure to other translated games if the translators prefer IPS files
* No more any visibility for Konami games : reviews and screenshots will be prohibited

By asking more to Konamito than only removing the roms and links to roms, the Japanese company is no more in the MSX spirit, it has forgotten that its big success has started on MSX and that many MSX fans have contributed by their passion to promote Konami games.
If asking to remove also visual and musical data related to their games can be understood from a pure legal approach (intellectual property), it is not acceptable from an ethish approach : by killing the MSX spirit, at least for their games, Konami has lost the faith of his fans and does not deserve any kind of gratis publicity.

Other info : the new blog of Konamito does no more have reference to Konami, as it is simply called MSXblog.
