Q&A

• What if I prefer to have the MSXgl directory in my project directory and not the opposite?
  » See the alternative file layout.

• How can I convert my Batch project setting to new JS based Build tool?
  » See the batch to JS conversion guide.

• Do I have to mention that I use MSXgl in my game?
  » No, it's not mandatory: do as you like. If you mention that the game is made with MSXgl, that's cool, because it might inspire others to create MSX games with this library.
