MSX-2 on a Smart-TV ???

Do you know a better way to play MSX games with 2 players than playing on a full-size
Smart-TV ?
No, I don't.

And which MSX-emulator did I install on this Smart-TV ?
No, I don't.
I just connected my old Philips NMS8280 MSX-2 computer via the SCART-connector
to the Smart-TV.

Still there is 1 issue to solve...
My joystick-cables are so too short that I need at least 2m extension-cables (2 of them)
before I really enjoy playing MSX-games on this TV.
Now I can play not for long, cause I got a headache by sitting too close to the screen and sleeping legs of sitting on the floor.

To my suprise I found out on some old diskettes, that I was starting MSXing in the early months of 1987, and all the diskettes were still readable (but sometimes I had to try 20 times before they want to be read...)
So yes, some of them were 28 years old !

And YES, we have an old XBOX (1st generation) and an old Wii (I think the WIIu is a mistake, so I wont buy it)
