}}'''MSX''' is a [[wikipedia:Zilog_Z80|Z80]]-based family of home computers, designed by Microsoft in cooperation with ASCII Corporation, which appeared in 1983. They were popular in Asian, South American and European countries as well as the former [[wikipedia:Soviet_Union|Soviet Union]], but they are virtually unknown in USA.
The games Software came either as cassettes or on a variety of media, including cassette tapes, 3.5" floppy disks, but only the former is ROM cartridges, and laserdiscs. Only ROM cartridges are preserved on the No-Intro set for now. You'll also need an extensive BIOS ROM pack, though RARetroArch's bluemsx blueMSX core only requires four. There are game manager tools to help with configuring which BIOS and games come with which feature. The Japanese Wii [[Virtual Console]] also included basic MSX 2 emulation.
