'''[[blueMSX''' ]] is a portable , open -source [[MSX emulators|MSX]] , [[SG-1000 emulators|Sega SG-1000]], SC-3000, SF-7000 and [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision emulator that uses an emulation model to achieve the highest level of accuracy possible. It is ]] available for the Microsoft Windows operating system and is ported to multiple other systemsplatforms as a [[libretro]] core. It has been translated into 14 different languages. blueMSX includes a powerful debugger with support for several assembly formats and a machine configuration editor that allows advanced users to set up practically any MSX computer system ever made.

blueMSX was initially released in 2003 and soon became one of the most accurate and user friendly emulatorsemulator, leading over openMSX.<ref name="msxemus">{{cite web | editor=snout | year=2005 | title=MSX Emulator Comparison | url=http://www.msx.org/MSX-Emulator-Comparison.articlepage8.html | work=[http://www.msx.org/ MSX Resource Center Foundation] | accessdate=9 August 2006 }}</ref>

Initially, blueMSX's emulation was quite poor and suffered from the same limitations and flaws as its mother fMSX. However, during the first year , the development focused on improving and replacing the misbehaving emulation code, as well as redesigning the software architecture. With better architecture, emulation of new devices became easier, and wasn't very long before most audio devices and ROM types were supported.

In August 2004 , blueMSX became the first MSX emulator to support skins.

In November 2004, blueMSX was finally 100% free of fMSX code. The November release was also a big milestone since it brought support for the Turbo-RTurboR, 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.

The emulation core was extended to support any Z80 based computer systems and is now supporting multiple systems, such as SG-1000, Spectravideo]], and ColecoVision.

The emulation engine in blueMSX is [[Emulation Accuracy|cycle -accurate]], which means that the timing and synchronization between emulated hardware components appear the same as on a real MSX. The goal is to replicate each individual component as accurate as possible, which means that the emulator require requires a more high -end PC than emulators optimized for speed.

Most hardware released for the MSX system is emulated and the emulator includes a configuration editor to mimic real MSX systems by choosing components such as floppy drives, memory, sound chips , and video chips. Several pre-configured machines are available for users that don't want to build their own machines.

Common emulator features are supported, like screen shotsscreenshots, 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.

blueMSX simulates six different monitor types, from sharp modern monitors to old TV sets. The emulator has controls for real -time modification of gamma, brightness, contrast, saturation and color shifting, and it supports horizontal and vertical stretch, as well as a slider for adaptable scanlines on all monitor modes to make the ratio of the video output match a real system. It also supports multiple video sources, for example , an external 80 column card.
