- DESCRIPTION
-
- fMSX Amiga emulates an MSX computer on an Amiga. Features include:
-
- - Full emulation of the MSX1 and MSX2 systems.
- - Also fully compatible with Colecovision cartridges!
- - Support for reading/writing MSX disks and disk images.
- - Can play all types of MSX ROMs, including ROMs bigger than 32KB.
- - Support for the PSG, SCC, and FM-Pac sound chips (through AHI, native
- or through the Concierto soundcard).
- - Support for MSX memory sizes of up to 4Mb.
- - Can be controlled through ARexx.
-
- 'MSX' is an 8-bit computer system with surprisingly good graphics and
- sound capabilities. How does graphic resolutions of up to 512 * 424, up
- to 256 colors on screen, and up to 18 channel music sound?
-
- To demonstrate, several MSX pictures (taken from fMSX while running)
- have been uploaded to aminet (pix/illu/msx_emu.lha).
-
- MSX software is not included, but hundreds of games can be found
- on the internet. A list of links is included in the documentation.
- No self-respecting gamer should be without Space Manbow, S.D. Snatcher,
- Firehawk, Eggerland Mystery, or the two original Metal Gear games!
-
- Of course fMSX Amiga is fully multitasking, runs in an intuition
- screen, and has a font-sensitive, resizable user interface.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- fMSX Amiga 2.3 is no longer just an MSX emulator. In this version fMSX
- will also emulate the Colecovision system (and I know many Amigans
- want a Colecovision emulator: my mailbox has been full of requests
- over the last few years ;-) )
-
- Other new additions include some speed increases, some bug fixes,
- and a lot of improvements to compatibility. Also, the second cartridge
- slot has been reimplemented, meaning the GameMaster cartridge is once
- again useable.
-
- Games that didn't work, but do so now, include Breaker, Jet Set Willy,
- Manic Miner, River Raid, BC's Quest, Dragon, Fantasm Soldier 2, Frogger,
- Konami Tennis, Decathlon, Relics, and many others.
-
- Games that already worked but now work better, include Feedback (intro
- is no longer scrambled), Aleste 2 (screen doesn't break up anymore),
- Dragon Slayer 6 (intro now runs at normal speed instead of warp 9),
- and Avenger (now has sound).
-
- The '060 version now supports digitized speech (fMSX always supported
- this, but the quality was highly dependent on the speed of your Amiga.
- Now it will run at exact MSX speed, thus sounding correct). Try it
- with almost any Aackosoft game, such as Oh Shit!
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- fMSX can run on '020, but you need a fast machine to appreciate it. Most
- MSX1 games will run at a very nice speed on '040 machines; MSX2 games
- tend to stress the video subsystem far more and many really need an
- '060 to shine.
-
- fMSX can take full advantage of graphics boards, either through
- CyberGfx or Picasso'96. AGA and OCS/ECS are also fully supported.
-
- Many of fMSX' soundmodes require AHI.
-
- If a Concierto soundcard is present, it can be used to emulate the
- MSX FM-Pac. FM-Pac emulation through the Concierto is vastly superior
- to FM-Pac emulation through AHI, and adds a whole new dimension
- to your MSX gaming experience!
-
- At least AmigaOS 3.0 is required.
-
- AVAILABILITY
-
- fMSX Amiga 2.3 is available from any aminet site, such as:
-
- ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/misc/emu/fmsx.lha
-
- PRICE
-
- All this, for free! But I'd appreciate it if you sent me an email.
-
- DISTRIBUTABILITY
-
- fMSX Amiga 2.3 is publically supported freeware. Source is available
- on request.
