Oh great, I own a MZ-800(700 compatible). I'll try these out.
Say, where's the download button? :(
i think this link only has pictures, the downloadable files are somewhere around http://bgm.sub.jp/700USA/700.html (i'm not fluent in japanese, maybe the Chrome/Chromium browser automatic translation can help a bit)
doesn't look like it's demoscene related in any way(?)
One has got to love japanese webdesign.
screenshots look awesome :D
yes, maybe because culturally, or from their shintoist philosophy, this kind of work from japanese people is almost always very surprising
about the pictures at http://bgm.sub.jp/700USA/CGO/CGO.html , i finally found how they were done:
1- from http://www.maroon.dti.ne.jp/youkan/mz700/index.html get http://www.maroon.dti.ne.jp/youkan/mz700/CGE7.zip (CGE7.exe, from there, runs fine on Wine - since i have no other way to run ms-windows executables)
2- from http://www.sharpmz.org/marukunemu.htm get http://www.sharpmz.org/download/mz700fjp.zip (there is a file named Mz700fon.txt)
3- CGE7.exe needs a neighbour file (in same directory) named mz700fon.dat (exactly 4096 bytes sized) - at http://pastebin.com/8hccPkZj i posted a script converts Mz700fon.txt into mz700fon.dat , which i coded to run on sdlBasic (i think the code is simple enough if people want to use other interpreters, compilers, or languages)
4- if everything is resulting fine, the editor should look like this: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9922/mz700editor.png
5- if you want some txt files to try, there are some available between http://www.openspc2.org/~bgm/CG700/sample1.html and http://www.openspc2.org/~bgm/CG700/sample6.html

another interesting ascii-art editor can be interesting and simple to code a similar editor to Aquarius is asciipaint - http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=14588.0 - it's a w32 flash projector also runs fine on Wine
(oops posted the last message in the wrong place - where is the 'delete' button? :| )
