Non-MSX machines
blueMSX is shipped with different non-MSX
machines; the required system roms are generally
stored for each machine in a dedicated
subdirectory of the directory Machines. The Sega
SG-1000 console and the SC-3000 computer do not
require a system rom to be fully emulated.
Only the ColecoVision
console is yet supported, this console has 4 non-expanded
slots, 1 cartridge slot, 1 Kb Mirrored RAM and 16
Kb VRAM.
You can also use the Spectravideo SVI-603
Coleco game adapter, the ColecoVision with the Opcode
Memory Extension (16 Kb RAM) or the Bit
Corporation Dina : it's a ColecoVision
console with a built-in game; if you don't insert
a Coleco cartridge, than the built-in game (Meteoric
Shower) will start automatically.
The video frequency is 60 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 50 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
We hope to emulate in a future version the
ColecoAdam computer that has more features.
Three Sega machines are
emulated by blueMSX : the SG-1000 console, the SC-3000
and SF-7000 computers.
Sega Game-1000 and Sega
Computer-3000 have 4 non-expanded slots,
1 cartridge slot, 2 Kb Mirrored RAM and 16 Kb
VRAM. The SC-3000 can run games or applications
that require a keyboard. The Sega BASIC comes on
cartridges that have their own RAM (16 or 32 Kb).
SF-7000 is an extension for SC-3000,
transforming it into a Super Control
Station with 1 disk drive, 4 non-expanded
slots, 1 cartridge slot, 64 Kb RAM and 16 Kb VRAM.
A system disk is required to use the Sega Disk
Basic.
The video frequency is 60 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 50 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
We hope to emulate in a future version the Sega
Master System with its advanced video mode.
Five SVI machines are emulated
by blueMSX. They have 4 non-expanded slots, 1
cartridge slot, 1 tape port, 16 Kb VRAM and a
QWERTY keyboard.
The video frequency is 50 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 60 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
Differences between these machines concern mainly
the RAM, the addition of a drive and the presence
of a second video card :
