MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ emulator. It covers the following systems: MSX, MSX Turbo R, MSX2, MSX2+, Spectravideo.
1. Installation
- Get the latest version from the project's official website.
- Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
- Launch it once: it creates its configuration and subfolders.
2. System files
This emulator relies on files taken from the original machine. Extract them from hardware you own.
Files expected according to our listing:
MSX.ROMMSX2.ROM
Indicated location: Machines/
MSX BIOS in the Machines folder
3. Accepted formats
.rom .mx1 .mx2 .dsk .cas
4. Good to know
- These machines often boot to a command prompt: the game is launched via a command, not a menu.
- Emulation speed matters: too fast, and the software becomes unplayable. Look for the speed or cycles setting.
- The keyboard is the main input device; the emulated layout may differ from yours.
- A setting that works for one machine won't necessarily work for others: adjust case by case.
5. Not working?
- Refuses to start or black screen → a system file is missing, misnamed, or not in the expected location.
- File rejected → its checksum doesn't match the expected one; the dump is probably incomplete or from a different model.
- The game doesn't show up → check that its extension is one of the formats listed above.
- The software runs too fast or too slow → adjust the emulation speed before anything else.
