Short: MSX emulator (v1.3), 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. The MSX1 system is completely emulated. Many MSX2 features are also 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 extensive tape support, the ability to create diskimages, sprites in screen 7, and many bug fixes (the important of which is that fMSX will no longer hang while changing screenmode). Many games for MSX are available through FTP or WWW. Sitenames can be found in the documentation. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 928 222 76.0% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 fMSX_1.3.info 1437 796 44.6% 20-Feb-97 22:10:12 fMSX_1.3.readme 579 279 51.8% 12-Jan-97 14:57:16 fMSX_1.3.readme.info 316172 158373 49.9% 20-Feb-97 21:54:06 +fmsx 58609 21992 62.4% 20-Feb-97 20:34:32 +fmsx.guide 1844 473 74.3% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +fmsx.guide.info 1839 482 73.7% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +fmsx.info 1935 579 70.0% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +fmsx_rom.info 11417 4716 58.6% 20-Feb-97 20:31:14 +history.guide 1844 473 74.3% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +history.guide.info 928 221 76.1% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +Icons.info 1934 577 70.1% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +1942.info 1917 562 70.6% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +1942_MSX2.info 1917 562 70.6% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +3EyedOneComesHere.info 1918 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +Andorogynous.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +Animal.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +Arkanoid2.info 1917 564 70.5% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +DragonQuest.info 1917 571 70.2% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +DragonQuest2.info 1917 569 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +Dragonslayer4.info 1917 568 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +elslid.rom.info 1934 584 69.8% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +F1Spirit.info 1917 572 70.1% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +FairylandStory.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +FamilyBilliards.info 1917 565 70.5% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +FantasmSoldier.info 1917 568 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:50 +FantasyZone.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +FinalZone.info 1934 579 70.0% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Firebird.info 1917 565 70.5% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Goddess.info 1917 568 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Hydlide3.info 1917 572 70.1% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Karuizaw.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +KingsValley2.info 1934 583 69.8% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +KingsValley2_MSX2.info 1917 564 70.5% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Kong2.info 1918 570 70.2% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +MazeOfGalious.info 1934 578 70.1% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +MetalGear.info 1935 581 69.9% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +MetalGear2.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Mystery.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Nemesis.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Nemesis2.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Nemesis3.info 1917 568 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Parodius.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +PenguinAdventure.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Salamander.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Samurai.info 1918 569 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +ScrambleFormation.info 1917 567 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +Shalom.info 1917 569 70.3% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +SuperLaydock.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +VampireKiller.info 1917 566 70.4% 12-Jan-97 14:56:52 +WarOfTheDead.info 1197 677 43.4% 20-Feb-97 22:14:14 +MagicWB.info 1494 884 40.8% 20-Feb-97 22:14:44 +fmsx.guide.info 1485 861 42.0% 20-Feb-97 22:16:18 +fmsx.info 1816 1302 28.3% 20-Feb-97 22:14:32 +fMSX_1.2.readme.info 1585 942 40.5% 20-Feb-97 22:14:56 +fmsx_rom.info 1432 858 40.0% 20-Feb-97 22:14:50 +history.guide.info 1197 558 53.3% 20-Feb-97 22:14:14 +Icons.info 1197 558 53.3% 20-Feb-97 22:14:14 +Mountlist.info 928 222 76.0% 20-Feb-97 22:12:58 +Mountlist.info 413 279 32.4% 12-Jan-97 14:55:40 +FMSX0 719 286 60.2% 12-Jan-97 14:56:40 +FMSX0.info 413 276 33.1% 12-Jan-97 14:55:18 +FMSX1 719 288 59.9% 12-Jan-97 14:56:40 +FMSX1.info 318 214 32.7% 12-Jan-97 14:55:52 +RAMSX 1537 280 81.7% 12-Jan-97 14:56:40 +RAMSX.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 488851 219284 55.1% 21-Feb-97 19:31:08 65 files
