Panasonic FS-A1WSX

To run this MSX2+ machine in blueMSX, you need the complete config file with all the specific roms. Check the Resource page of the blueMSX website and unzip the config file in the Machines subdirectory of the emulator.

This machine has a diskdrive and built-in MSX-MUSIC. The tape interface is replaced by a RGB connector. It is possible to load/save via this connector, but the volume is very low by comparison with tape interface. Switch key between Japanese and English characters is RightAlt.

The Panasonic FS-A1WSX machine comes with an integrated firmware. You can skip it by de-selecting the Panasonic front switch in the Options/Emulation menu.
