Mouse

Some MSX programs have support for mouse. Not surprising, the emulator uses the PC mouse as input device to emulate the MSX mouse.

The mouse can be used on a MSX like a joystick, if you press the left button at least 5 seconds after the boot sequence when you start the machine. It's also the case in blueMSX !
   
Dongle

Some MSX games are copy-protected by an hardware piece, a dongle, that must be inserted in a joystick port.

Two different dongles are available :
- the Tetris 2 Special Edition dongle for the game with the same name;
- the Magic Key dongle for the Replicart and Gall Force (Defense of Chaos) games
   
Gunstick

Some MSX games can generally only be played with a gunstick : Cosmic Sheriff, Solo, Target Plus, Duck Hunt, Mike Gunner, Dungeon Hunter.

Two different gunsticks are available :
- the ASCII Plus-X Terminator Laser
- the MHT Ingenieros Gunstick

In both cases, your PC mouse becomes a gunstick !
   
Arkanoid Pad

To be used only with the Arkanoid games
