Like many other MSX emulators, blueMSX started as a clone of [[fMSX]]. The feature that made the first release, in November 2003, unique to the MSX emulator scene at the time, was the addition of monitor simulation. This feature made the video output look like an old TV or a monitor. | Like many other MSX emulators, blueMSX started as a clone of [[fMSX]].

The November release was also a big milestone since it brought support for the Turbo-R, the last MSX produced. On top of that, it was the first release that included emulation for the [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision]] and the Spectravideo SV-328. |
Since the November 2004 milestone, developer focus has been on improving the user interface and emulation accuracy, as well as extending the emulation to include more exotic devices such as the Konami Keyboard Master, an unreleased speech synthesis ROM. | Since the November 2004 milestone, developer focus has been on improving the user interface and emulation accuracy, as well as extending the emulation to include more exotic devices such as the Konami Keyboard Master, an unreleased speech synthesis ROM. | ||

The goal is to replicate each individual component as accurate as possible, which means that the emulator requires a more high-end PC than emulators optimized for speed. |

Several pre-configured machines are available for users that don't want to build their own machines. |
Common emulator features are supported, like screenshots, AVI rendering, and a cheat system. The emulator has a theme based GUI with buttons to control the emulation, a virtual keyboard, and controls to change sound and video settings runtime. | Common emulator features are supported, like screenshots, AVI rendering, and a cheat system.
