To run this MSX1 machine in blueMSX, you need the complete config file with all the specific roms. Check the Resource page of the blueMSX website and unzip the config file in the Machines subdirectory of the emulator.

This computer also called X'PRESS is a MSX1 machine, but is equipped with the MSX2 VDP, what allows to use 80 columns in stead of 40 in text mode. It is also possible to use screen 5 with a program taking in account the limits of the memory.

This machine exists under different versions (English, Swedish, Henrik Gilvad disk rom), it has a tape interface and a 360 Kb diskdrive. It comes with three system disks : one MSX-DOS disk, two CP/M disks with different utilities.

Different hobbyists have converted this pre-MSX2 machine in a real MSX2 machine, with or without clock chip. These improved versions are also available on the Resource page of the blueMSX website.
