}}'''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.

'''gpSP''' is an open-source [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advance emulator]] created by Exophase for the [[PlayStation Portable emulators|PlayStation Portable]]. Compatibility is very good and is recommended for using GBA ports of SNES games rather than [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES emulators]] themselves due to poor focus on the PSP. Its open-source nature makes it a good candidate for porting to similar lightweight platforms like the Raspberry Pi.
+
Software came on a variety of media, including cassette tapes, 3.5" floppy disks, 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 RetroArch's 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.

 +
The MSX standard evolved in several steps, which are reflected in greater or lesser support by emulators:
 +
 
 +
* ''the MSX 1'' is the original 1983 machine, with a 3.58Mhz Z80, an AY 3-8910 sound chip, and a TMS video processor — it offers resolutions up to 256x192 with attribute-based colours, single-colour sprites and no hardware scrolling. This machine primarily differs from contemporaries such as the ColecoVision and Sega SC-3000 only in its sound chip;
 +
* ''the MSX 2'' is a 1985 revision that significantly upgrades the video processor; the maximum resolution is now 512x212, sprites are up to 16 colour, hardware vertical scrolling is available, more normative bitmap and non-attribute-based tile colour modes are offered, and primitive graphics acceleration is available — the video processor can independently perform tasks such as drawing lines and filling rectangles. Unlike the TMS chip in the MSX 1, no other machines use this video processor, so MSX 2 emulation is attempted less often than MSX 1 emulation;
 +
* ''the MSX 2+'' is a minor revision from 1988 that adds hardware support for horizontal scrolling and a few extra colour modes; some 2+ models offer an optional modest speed improvement to the Z80 to 5.37Mhz;
 +
* ''the TurboR'' from 1990 offers the R800 processor as an alternative to the Z80, which is an offspring of the Z800, offering Z80 backwards compatibility with significantly increased throughput.
 +
 
 +
Commercial software overwhelmingly targets the MSX 1 or MSX 2 standards, with some able to benefit from the improved horizontal scrolling of the MSX 2+. Neither the 2+ nor the TurboR sold in substantial volumes, and a proposed MSX 3 standard never reached consumers.
 +
 
 +
==Specific Machines==
 +
{{Main|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX#Manufacturers Manufacturers list}} (Wikipedia)
 +
 
 +
MSX machines were manufactured by a wide range of companies including Pioneer, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Sanyo, Philips and LG Goldstar. Some of the notable machines include:
 +
 
 +
* the '''Pioneer Palcom PX-7''', an MSX1 computer aimed at the Japanese market. It was meant for attaching to a [[LaserDisc]] player, and as such has Superimpose capabilities (putting pictures and texts above the Laser Disc image). The PSG sound is stereo, contrary to almost all MSX machines. Pioneer also sold the '''ER-101''' interface (Laser Vision) unit which made it possible for all MSX computers to have the same functionalities as the Palcom PX-7;
 +
* Panasonic's '''FS-A1''' (1986), '''FS-A1mkII''' (W/ added keypad) and its Italian counterpart, the '''Toshiba FS-TM1''' were based on the MSX2 standard; and
 +
* Panasonic's '''FS-A1FX''' (1988) and '''FS-A1WX''' (W/ added MSX-MUSIC & a Japanese Word processor) are MSX 2+ derived hardware; the '''FS-A1WSX''' (1989) was the last MSX 2+ computer.

Latest source code by takka stopped development in 2009. Since then, I have not seen any significant improvements. Release from an unknown developer, version 3.5, is actually an old version - version 3.3 test 2 build 132 without any significant changes and improvements in functionality. So I decided to finalize this nice emulator for the stable release.

A developer going by the name <b>"ErikPshat"</b> has taken it upon himself to rejuvenate a homebrew emulator called gpSP kai. Dubbed UO gpSP Kai, aka GameplaySP, is a Gameboy Advance emulator for the Playstation Portable. The developer has released his unofficial build which introduces some bug fixes, adds a few fixes such as running almost all games from ZIP archives. Below you can view his release notes for UO gpSP Kai version 3.4 test 4 build 230.

Simply, if a large 32mb game in a ZIP-archive then it will be a long time in the TEMP unpacked, you just need to wait a minute, there is a diode will blink rapidly.

−
32mb ROM / 32mb buff = Faster loading, less glitchy
 
−
32mb ROM / 16mb Buff = Very slow loading, PSP freeze sometimes, unpacks and duplicates *.zip ROM to *.gba so uses more space. At least it does on a few other gpSP emulators.

==Creating & Adding Cheats==
 
−
 
 
−
[https://github.com/PSP-Archive/emulator-cheats/releases/tag/0.2 Uo gpSP Kai Cheats]
 
−
 
 
−
<u><b>::Requirements::</b></u>
 
−
 
 
−
- Action Replay or Gameshark Codes for a certain game
 
−
- [https://github.com/PSP-Archive/emulator-cheats/releases/tag/0.2 gpSP kai Cheat Creator.exe]
 
−
- Hacked PSP with the most recent gpSP Kai
 
−
 
 
−
1) All gpSP Kai cheat codes should be inserted in <code>ms0:/PSP/Game/gpSP Kai/GBA/CHT</code> , assuming that gpSP Kai is any version of the Gameboy Advance Emulator. These cheat codes have a specific format, which is .cht .
 
−
 
 
−
2) Gather the Action Reply/Gameshark codes that you want and open up the gpSP Kai Cheat Creator.exe program. Enter the game name at the top bar in the program (i.e. Pokemon Emerald). The game name will help you identify the cheat file.
 
−
 
 
−
3) There is a specific form in which you need to enter these codes to get a .cht file.
 
−
 
 
−
<ins>Action Replay Form :</ins>
 
−
 
 
−
PAR_V3 (name of code) <---make sure PAR_V3 and the code name is separated by a space
 
−
XXXXXXXX YYYYYYYY
 
−
XXXXXXXX YYYYYYYY
 
−
 
 
−
Enter the code as shown in the X and Y column above if it is an Action Reply Code. Remember that there are 8 characters in each column because it is an Action Replay Code. Column X is separated from Column Y with a space. If the code has more than two lines, do not get part of it and instead get the whole thing.
 
−
 
 
−
<ins>Gameshark Form :</ins>
 
−
 
 
−
gameshark_V3 (name of code) <-----again, gameshark_V3 is separated from the code name
 
−
XXXXXXXXXXXX
 
−
XXXXXXXXXXXX
 
−
 
 
−
Enter the code as shown in the X rows. In gameshark form, there are not columns, but there are rows. Remember that there are 12 characters in each row because it is in gameshark form. After one row ends, another row starts. If the code has more than two lines, do not get part of it and instead get the whole thing.
 
−
 
 
−
4) Enter the codes that you have gathered in the wide box area of the gpSP Kai cheat creator program after you put them in the gameshark/Action Replay form from above. After every code, make sure to not leave them attached to eachother, for this will mess up the code. Press the "enter" key to separate them.
 
−
 
 
−
5) Create the .cht file after you enter all the codes.
 
−
 
 
−
6) Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB Cord. Go to this directory: <code>ms0:/PSP/GAME/gpSP Kai/GBA/CHT</code> . This directory may not be the same as others, and if that is the case, then just look for the CHT folder in your gpSP Kai.
 
−
 
 
−
7) Insert your new .cht file into the CHT Folder
 
−
 
 
−
8) Disconnect your PSP from the USB Cord and start up your gpSP Kai. After you start the game that you made the .cht file for, press the triangle button to open up the gpSP Kai menu. In that menu, you should see the words "Cheats and Miscellaneous Options". Click on those words to take you to the cheats part of the menu.
 
−
 
 
−
9) Go to "Load Cheat File". Then, you will see the .cht file that you recently created. Click on that cheat file.
 
−
 
 
−
10) Loading the certain .cht file will show you the cheats that are in that .cht file. You can disable/enable those cheats in the menu.

<b>TempGBA-mod</b> VS <b>Uo gpSP kai</b>
 
−
 
 
−
TempGBA-mod, the video quality in tempGBA's "150% SW" mode, make the video output look much cleaner, dunno what exactly is the difference between it and "GU" (which looks a lot like the video output gpSP has) but just looks better.
 
−
noticed that pokemon fire red and ultra violet don't tell me that the 1m chip isn't there, does tempGBA support 1m saves while gpSP doesn't?. figured out that tempGBA has a rudimentary version of this, each game has its own control profile
 
−
why is it that neither emulator saves the CPU frenquency i set it to? <--- figured out how to make tempGBA do it, gpSP seemingly cant do it.
 
−
UO gpSP Kai to be the fastest. It does support 1M saves too. Here's the latest version: [http://www.mediafire.com/file/daukxkdjmpjat94/uo_gpsp_kai_latest.tar.lzma/file mod 3.5]
 
−
i said regarding 1m saves is that for some reason they gave me an error in gpSP but not on tempGBA, so if the support is there, why doesnt it work?
 
−
TempGBA is supposed to have better compatibility / less glitches for some games than gpSP (e.g. Golden Sun). The speed, as far I could see back when I used gpSP is about the same.
 
−
 
 
−
As for the "GU" output, that's supposed to be accelerated video (=faster), whereas SW is software, which should probably be slower, although theoretically more accurate (less glitches). use GU all the time though, and have yet to find a game that has any problem with it.
 
−
Usually the difference in the many version of emulator comes down to game compatibility. Sometimes game rom load better on gpsp, sometimes they run better on tempgba. Sometimes rom may even work on one and not the other. tempgba doesn’t have the option for full screen 16:9 aspect ratio. Uo Gpsp Kai offers full screen but the image is extremely pixelated. At the end, it’s comes down to personal preferences. can’t stand seeing the black borders, use emulator that allow for full screens, even if it means that the images is stretched and pixelated.
 
−
played them both on Temp-mod and they worked fine. Got through the tutorial level on Megaman and through the first boss on Castlevania. Framerate showed a stable 60fps with no issues or drops in/for either.
 
−
 
 
−
The only title and trouble with is FF VI on both emulators because it slows down to a crawl whenever a text box appears or any of the sprites on screen move around. a found the only solution for it to be to the fast forward mode (FF or triangle by default) on TempGBA-Mod which according to the emulator speeds the game up to 70-90fps, but it's actually making it run at relatively full speed and no glitches or audio break ups.

−
1.TempGBA is slower, but is more accurate and has better compatibility.
 
−
 
 
−
2.Uo gpSP Kai is faster and has cheat support, but lower compatibility.

gpSP 0.9 is the last Official release by Exophase. It has since been forked and improved upon by other Developers, like gpSPmod and gpSP-j. While gpSP-j has more compatibility, gpSPmod has more options for customization [Full Screen (16:9), Cheats, etc]. The variant '''gpSPmod''' is a fork of gpSP for the PSP. It is generally recommended to use UO gpSP Kai 3.4 Test 4 Build 230. gpSP-j compatibility is unknown being the fact that it is a port by a Japanese coder.

TempGBA was a Game Boy Advance emulator written for the Supercard DStwo, a third-party flash cart where GBA ROMs can be installed on to play on the GBA. An open-source BIOS file (Based on [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|VBA-M]]'s high-level BIOS emulation) made by Normmatt was bundled with this emulator. Though, a legal GBA BIOS should offer better compatibility. The latest version was 1.45, dated 14/09/13.

This includes Normmatt's open source BIOS and the updated Game Config. However, it and another emulator named '''gpSP-j''' have mixed performance results on the PSP. One alternative that has good performance is '''gpSP Kai''' that can be used in exchange for bad sound quality.

Revision as of 17:08, 21 July 2021

MSX
Msx.png
Developer Microsoft, ASCII Corporation
Type Computers
Generation Z80-based home computers
Release date 1983
Discontinued 1996
Emulated ✓

MSX is a 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 Soviet Union, but they are virtually unknown in USA.

Software came on a variety of media, including cassette tapes, 3.5" floppy disks, 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 RetroArch's 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.

Generations

The MSX standard evolved in several steps, which are reflected in greater or lesser support by emulators:

  • the MSX 1 is the original 1983 machine, with a 3.58Mhz Z80, an AY 3-8910 sound chip, and a TMS video processor — it offers resolutions up to 256x192 with attribute-based colours, single-colour sprites and no hardware scrolling. This machine primarily differs from contemporaries such as the ColecoVision and Sega SC-3000 only in its sound chip;
  • the MSX 2 is a 1985 revision that significantly upgrades the video processor; the maximum resolution is now 512x212, sprites are up to 16 colour, hardware vertical scrolling is available, more normative bitmap and non-attribute-based tile colour modes are offered, and primitive graphics acceleration is available — the video processor can independently perform tasks such as drawing lines and filling rectangles. Unlike the TMS chip in the MSX 1, no other machines use this video processor, so MSX 2 emulation is attempted less often than MSX 1 emulation;
  • the MSX 2+ is a minor revision from 1988 that adds hardware support for horizontal scrolling and a few extra colour modes; some 2+ models offer an optional modest speed improvement to the Z80 to 5.37Mhz;
  • the TurboR from 1990 offers the R800 processor as an alternative to the Z80, which is an offspring of the Z800, offering Z80 backwards compatibility with significantly increased throughput.

Commercial software overwhelmingly targets the MSX 1 or MSX 2 standards, with some able to benefit from the improved horizontal scrolling of the MSX 2+. Neither the 2+ nor the TurboR sold in substantial volumes, and a proposed MSX 3 standard never reached consumers.

Specific Machines

Main article: [Manufacturers list] (Wikipedia)

MSX machines were manufactured by a wide range of companies including Pioneer, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Sanyo, Philips and LG Goldstar. Some of the notable machines include:

  • the Pioneer Palcom PX-7, an MSX1 computer aimed at the Japanese market. It was meant for attaching to a LaserDisc player, and as such has Superimpose capabilities (putting pictures and texts above the Laser Disc image). The PSG sound is stereo, contrary to almost all MSX machines. Pioneer also sold the ER-101 interface (Laser Vision) unit which made it possible for all MSX computers to have the same functionalities as the Palcom PX-7;
  • Panasonic's FS-A1 (1986), FS-A1mkII (W/ added keypad) and its Italian counterpart, the Toshiba FS-TM1 were based on the MSX2 standard; and
  • Panasonic's FS-A1FX (1988) and FS-A1WX (W/ added MSX-MUSIC & a Japanese Word processor) are MSX 2+ derived hardware; the FS-A1WSX (1989) was the last MSX 2+ computer.
