The File Menu

The File menu contains the following menu items:


Cartridge slot 1
The Cartridge slot 1 option controls the rom cartridge slot 1. The option contains a sub menu where you can insert or eject a rom image. If the "Reset after insert/remove" option is checked the emulator is automatically reset when a rom image is inserted or removed.
The menu contains a list of the most recently images that are loaded into this cartridge slot. The "Special" option contains a list of special rom types supported by blueMSX. It currently only contains "SCC+ cartridge" which is mainly intended to provide SCC audio when playing Konami Game Collection.

The option accepts files of type .ROM and .ZIP. If a zip file contains more than one rom image, a dialog with a list of all roms will be shown.


Cartridge slot 2
The Cartridge slot 2 option controls the rom cartridge slot 2. It contains the same options as Cartridge slot 1.

Load CPU state
The Load CPU state allows you to load a previously saved CPU state. The option launches a file dialog where you can select a previosly saved CPU state. See Save CPU state.


Save CPU state
The Save CPU state saves the entire state of the emulator so you can load it and continue execution at a latter time. The option launches a file dialog where you can select a file to which the state will be saved.
Note that the MSX configuration is not saved so the saved state may not work with another configuration.


Quick Load state
Loads the CPU state previously saved by Quick Save.


Quick Save state
Saves the CPU state to a predefined file in the current directory.
