Introduction

blueMSX is a Windows based application that can emulate an MSX computer. The blueMSX application simulates behavior of the hardware components in the MSX computer with software. The result is an application that behaves like a real MSX in and enables you to run a great amount of software written for the MSX computer.

MSX is a computer platform used by a large public from the early eighties to the mid nineties. In contrast to other platforms of the same period, MSX was a standard for computers, not a specific brand. Many companies such as Sony and Panasonic created their own computers based of the MSX standard.

The original MSX was followed by a couple of generations of MSXes. Since version 2.0, blueMSX supports MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ and MSXturboR software. Almost MSX machines like the ColecoVision console, the Sega SG-1000 console, the Sega SC-3000 and SF-7000 computers and the Spectravideo SVI318/328 computers are also supported.

blueMSX was created in September 2003 by Daniel Vik. The core development team has known different changes, it consists now of Daniel Vik, Benoît Delvaux, Tomas Karlsson, hap, Ray Zero, Ricardo Bittencourt and white cat.

But there are many persons that in different ways have contributed to the development. See the Credits section for a list of everyone that have made blueMSX what it is today.
