Short: MSX emulator, req. 68020/OS2.0
Author: h.guijt@inter.nl.net
Uploader: h.guijt@inter.nl.net
Type: misc/emu
fMSX Amiga is an Amiga port of fMSX UNIX. It emulates the MSX computer
system. The emulation requires an 68020 and the v36 OS (or better). Fastram
is not required but essential for good performance.
'MSX' is an 8-bit computer system with surprisingly good graphics and sound
capabilities. MSX emulation is far easier than C64 emulation and can
therefore be done with very good result; however, the results look far
better than (for example) Spectrum emulations could ever hope for.
In fact, some MSX games are on par with Amiga games when it comes to
graphics and playability! Several MSX pictures have been uploaded to aminet
(pix/illu/msx_emu.lha).
Depending on the task at hand it is about as fast as a real MSX on my
a4000/30, sometimes even a tad faster.
All signifant MSX1 features are being supported. Since the bug in high-speed
mode has finally been removed I have labelled this version 1.0.
In this version, many MSX2 features are supported, and some MSX2 games
(though not all) are in fact playable: Metal Gear, Firebird, Vampire Killer
and Kings Valley 2 MSX2 fall in this category.
New features in this release include faster MSX2 emulation, many new video
settings, and as stated: no more high-speed bug.
Many games for MSX are available through FTP or WWW. Sitenames can be found
in the documentation.
