Check the Resource page of the blueMSX website
!
To really go
in the MSX world, press on F9
(= Run) or on F12 (= Reset).
By default, a generic (European) MSX2 machine
will be emulated if you have installed the
full version of the emulator. In case of the
minimal version, the MSX2 C-BIOS machine will
be runned.
You can choose another machine in the Options/Emulation
menu or by using the Machine editor in the
Tools menu.
In Options/Emulation,
you will only see the machines for which you
have already the roms : by default, only the
C-BIOS machines and the generic machines
if you have installed the full version of the
emulator. In case of the minimal version,
only the C-BIOS
machines will be available by default.
In the Machine
Editor, you will see all the machines,
but if you try to run a machine without the
roms (and that's always the case of the
specific machines), you'll get the message
"failed to start msx emulator". To
run these specific
machines in blueMSX, you need the
complete config files with all the specific
roms. Check the Resource page of the blueMSX website
and unzip the config files in the Machines
subdirectory of the emulator.
