The MSX computer

MSX is a Z80-based family of home computers which appeared in 1983. They were popular in Asian, South American and European countries as well as the former Soviet Union, but they are virtually unknown in USA.

Emulators

PC
Name Operating System(s) Latest Version Active Accuracy Recommended
blueMSX Windows 2.8.2 Cycle
OpenMSX Multi-platform 0.10.1 High
MESS Multi-platform 0.264 ? ?
MSXPLAYer Windows ? Mid
fMSX Multi-platform 3.9 ? ?

Comparison

  • blueMSX Considered to be the go-to emulator for MSX, has the highest compatibility and features out of any MSX emulator. Also has a pretty nifty GUI.
  • fMSX The only pay-to-use emulator for MSX, is no longer active. Compatibility is unknown. Recommended not to be used on Windows because of the other alternatives. fMSX for Windows requires a payment of $19.99 to use. However, you can download the source and compile it yourself.
  • OpenMSX The only MSX emulator for Linux, has standard features and compatibility just like every other emulator.
