==Overview==

OpenMSX uses a distinctive emulation model to achieve the highest level of accuracy possible. It is available for multiple platforms including POSIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems and emulates a large amount of MSX (related) hardware, including:

OpenMSX has an open communication protocol to communicate with the openMSX emulator. Utilizing this communication protocol enables to write versatile add-ons for openMSX. Projects making use of this protocol include the following applications:
 +
*openMSX Catapult (by the openMSX team)
 +
*openMSX Debugger (by the openMSX team)
 +
*openMSXControl plugin
 +
*NekoLauncher openMSX
 +
*openMSX Peashooter
 +
*openMSX Control Plugin for Gedit
 +
 
 +
Currently Catapult, a GUI developed for the emulator that is part of the project, is being redeveloped utilizing [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and the [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt]] toolkit.
 +
 
 +
The openMSX Debugger is also under development, written in [[C++]], also utilizing the [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt Toolkit]].
