Machine Editor
blueMSX provides a powerful machine editor that
allows to edit the memory layout and configure I/O
to create configurations that matches existing or
custom made machines.
The machine editor requires some knowledge about
the hardware but the interface is made as simple
as possible to make it easier to understand the
inner part of the emulated machine.
Minimal version and full version of the emulator
come with several default machine configurations
that probably are sufficient for most emulator
users, but for the more technical users this tool
allows for a detailed specification of the
emulation. The default machines may then serve as
a start when designing custom machines.
If you have installed the minimal version of the
emulator, only the C-BIOS
machines are fully working.
The full version of the emulator includes the
system roms for the generic machines,
in the subdirectory Machines / Shared Roms.
Both versions of the emulator come also with specific machines
configurations (Panasonic, National, Sanyo, ...).
On the
blueMSX
website you can download the complete
packages with the special system roms and system
disks.
In this editor you can create user defined
configurations.
The machine editor dialog contains three parts.
At the top is a dropdown list with all
current configurations. All configurations are
stored in the "Machines" subdirectory
of the emulator.
The center part is a tab control where
the configuration is defined. The tab control
contains four pages:
Slot Layout
Memory
Chip
Emulation
Extras
The bottom part contains four buttons :

|
Saves

|
|
|
Save As... |
|

current configuration with a new name.
When the button is pressed, a file dialog
is opened where you can specify the new
name of the configuration. The original
configuration will not be modified. |
