Specific machines

Many specific machines are supported by blueMSX. To run them, 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.

For most of these machines, the same names as in the MESS emulator are used for the roms. To get a realistic emulation, these machines are not boosted and by default, no any CAS patch is applied on the BIOS.

To see or modify the characteristics of a specific machine, you can use the Machine Editor in the Tools menu. The MSXturboR machines don't have a tape interface; the MSX Philips NMS-801 computer is without slot cartridge and printer interface.

The MSX Philips VG-8000, VG-8010 and VG-8010F don't have a printer port and come with a strange keyboard matrix that is patched for the emulator. Besides, the GRAPH and CODE keys work as toggles, just like the KANA key on Japanese machines.

The Frael Bruc 100-1 machine is a computer without the MSX logo, but with a MCL extended basic and a PC keyboard ! It was used in some Italian schools. The machine is compatible with MSX1 with some little differences or additionnal features : blinking cursor, step forward word by word, cut a text line, no display of the functions keys, different default color for the Basic screen, etc. Check http://fraelbruc100.msxit.org/ for more infos.

Forte II Games
is a Brazilian MSX1 arcade board. As on the real machine, you need to insert a coin before playing the embedded game (Knightmare in a slightly modified version) : you can do that by pressing on the "C" key, then on the real or virtual joystick button (as this board comes without any keyboard). Check http://www.tabajara-labs.com.br/msx/fort_games/ for more infos.

The Virtual Haesung Console is based on the BIOS ROMS of a strange Korean arcade board : in 1988, Haesung released 2 pirated versions of the Free Kick game, published by Sega, this under the names of Spinkick and Super Freekick. They are emulated in a recent version of the multi-arcade emulator MAME but are not MSX2 games as they handle differently the VDP addressing and the memory bank switching. As some BIOS calls have been deleted by the Korean developers to skip the logo boot and the MSX BASIC screen, only some MSX/MSX2 games and demos in ROM format will work on the virtual machine. More infos about the real console on http://doxdev.blogspot.com/2008/12/art-of-rippping.html

The MSXPLAYer 2003 configuration is the virtual MSX2+ machine used in the first version of the emulator with the same name, as you can find it on the ASCII MSX MAGAZINE 2003.

Some machines come with built-in or external software. In this case, pages of this manual contain additionnal infos.
