Varios |
Los modelos japoneses tienen la carcasa en color rojo o blanco. Aparte de ese detalle, hasta en el embalaje son idénticos. En Europa adopta el color negro, y el embalaje las líneas sobrias sin colores llamativos. Se acompañan dos manuales, normalmente en el idioma del país correspondiente, aunque ocasionalmente te encontrabas con sorpresas como manuales en italiano de un equipo con Ñ o un doble juego español/portugués.

Emuladores |
- fMSX (Unix, Mac, MS-DOS, Windows, PC9800, etc.)
fMSX es un emulador de MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ portable escrito en C por Marat Fayzullin. Al estar escrito en C, y distribuirse su código fuente libremente para propósitos no comerciales, numerosos ports y extensiones se han desarrollado para diferentes plataformas, como la version MS DOS de Marcel de Kogel y la version Macintosh de John Stiles. Si te interesa desarrollar otro port, es algo altamente aconsejado. La version Windows95/WinG puede obtenerse del autor por 35 $ USA (con una demo gratuita). fMSX puede conseguirse en http://www.komkon.org/fms/fMSX/" Una lista de ports :
- fMSX-Amiga (Amiga)
Esta es una versión optimizada para el máximo rendimiento en las plataformas Amiga a partir de la versión portable desarrollada por Hans Guijt. Es bastante diferente de la rama principal.
- CJS MSX2 (MSDOS)
MSX2 emulator by CJS is able to access files in the MSDOS partitions,
emulates both MSX and MSX2, supports mouse, it is fast, and has very
extensive documentation. You may
have known its previous versions under names "PC MSX1 emulator" and
"MSX099". A real disadvantage is that the author seem to have given it up.
There have been no updates since 1995 or so. CJS MSX2 can be obtained from
http://ftp.castel.nl/msx/.
- AmiMSX 2 (Amiga)
AmiMSX is written by Juan Antonio Gomez Galvez. Its performance is quite
impressive even on an A3000/25. It was crippleware, but now the keys are PD.
It supports PSG or SCC and requires at least OS2.0 and 680X20.
It can be obtained from: http://www.arrakis.es/~joanant/amsx.htm.
- Virtual MSX (Windows)
The development on this emulator has stopped; the author is developing
the MSX emulator in MESS now.
Virtual MSX is not really worthwhile, as current emulators are much
better. For information on Virtual MSX (including uninstall, and converting
Virtual MSX file formats .tap and gmaster2.ram) go to http://www.msxnet.org/vmsx/.
Virtual MSX is a windows-only emulator by Sean Young and has an emulation
core written in assembly language, and extensive GUI. Only MSX
(not MSX2/MSX2+) is emulated though. Needs WinG.
- MSX4PC (MS-DOS)
This is a commercial MSX emulator produced in Netherlands. It is
programmed by Adriaan van Doorn and published by MCCM. It can be obtained
from http://www.mccm.aktu.nl/
- BrMSX (MS-DOS)
A MS-DOS MSX emulator made by Ricardo Bittencourt. It is said to be the most
stable and complete emulator for MS-DOS. Especially MSX1 emulation is (almost)
perfect. Is also quite fast on slower machines. Now also MSX2 emulation. More info can be found
here: http://www.lsi.usp.br/~ricardo/brmsx.htm.
The emulator can be obtained from that page too.
- Java MSX Emulator
In very early state of development. More info on: http://www.medicina.ufmg.br/~arnon/msxemu/.
- MSKISS (MS-DOS)
By ISS'98. Also in early state of development, but now also supports MSX2
and MSX2+. Can be obtained from: http://www.salleURL.edu/~is05562/msx_ing.html
- RuMSX (MS-Windows)
By Rudolf Lechleitner. The first MSX Emulator with full support for MSX2+
and MSX Turbo R, but still in development. Can be obtained from http://members.EUnet.at/lexlechz/msx.html
or http://www.msxnet.org/gtinter/r-emuj.htm or
http://members.eunet.at/lexlechz/.
- PowerMSX (MS-DOS)
PowerMSX is a MSX emulator for DOS. It emulates a MSX1 with 64Kb of RAM and emulates
tapes as tape images and disk as disk images. Screen 3 is very slow and
without sprites. The emulator currently is at a very early stage of development
but already runs a lot of games. Even some Europian games that were not expected
to work run, like Venom, Profanation, Army Moves, Hundra, etc... It features
good emulated PSG sound also. Lacking noise channel. It seems development has
stopped now. More info and download on:
http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/MSXe/
- No$MSX (MS-DOS and Windows)
This emulator has been solely programmed for the reason to play H.E.R.O.
and Beamrider, please notice that No$msx can hardly compete with other
emulators: not much work put into the project, and not much support planned
in future. Slowly its capabilities are growing though, it now also includes MSX2 emulation. More info and download (including some nice
tools!) on: http://www.work.de/nocash/msx.htm
- NLMSX (MS-Windows)
A new emulator developed by Frits Hilderink of the former MSX Computer Club
Enschede, The Netherlands. It was originally based on fMSX, by Marat Fayzullin, but has now only its Z80 core; the rest is totally rewritten. It is one of the most complete and accurate MSX emulators for Windows. More info and download on: http://nlmsx.generation-msx.nl/.
- MESS (Windows 9x/NT, Unix, Mac, Amiga)
MESS emulates over a hunderd different machines, one of which is the MSX1. The
MESS code is based on MAME. Currently, there
is no disk emulation or MSX2 support; however it emulates many cartridge types.
Also tape emulation is done through .wav files; authentic emulation (does not
catch BIOS hooks). More info is on: MESS homepage and
MESS MSX driver WIP.
- openMSX (Linux and Windows)
One of the newest MSX emulators. Development started in 2001. It is a totally new concept of emulating an MSX. The purpose is to emulate the MSX standard as accurately as possible. Therefore, it is object oriented: all devices are seperate objects that communicate with each other via the motherboard, like in a real MSX. Currently it is still in the alpha phase and only targeted for developers. It is usable though and currently already the most accurate MSX emulator available. Note that it is completely Open Source. More info is on http://openmsx.sf.net.

Estado Legal |
ASCII cedió en 2002 a la MSX Association todos los derechos sobre el sistema MSX, como parte de su plan de revitalizar el MSX. No pone de momento inconveniente a los desarrollos de emuladores (tiene uno oficial) o a las inclusiones de las ROMs de sistema, BASIC y DOS. |
