MSXALL

Everything about MSX, and more…

Hardware

The MSX standard can be considered as one of the most versatile and expandable computers of the 8-bit era.

Its unique architecture design not only inspired other platforms but transcended time. Even nowadays innovative new hardware keeps engrossing its list of homebrew compatible products, including entirely new computers, either clone, reproduction, or inspired by the MSX Standard.

It may sound like an exaggeration, but if anyone claims that “for the MSX, the sky is the limit“, they may actually be right! It is beyond remarkable everything users have been creating for MSX since its obsolescence in 1993, when Panasonic – the last MSX manufacturer – said goodbye to the standard.

In this session of our portal you will find:

CATALOG OF EQUIPMENT

We decided to create this session because the list of MSX computers and compatible equipment is something nothing less than incredible.

DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECTS

When it is about MSX, even complex projects are doable and fun, even for less skilled people. Find out what you can do with your MSX and let’s have some fun!

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE MANUALS

Sometimes, even the strongest need some care or deserve some upgrades. Without Service Manuals or Maintenance Tutorials, some tasks can be tricky. If it is what you need, this is the place to find it.

DATASHEET AND FIRMWARE

This session is a “linked page” for items that are found in the other sessions of the Portal. We are adding it here because it makes sense to have that information altogether with Hardware and Projects.

Feel free to navigate through the session above, where you will also find specific articles about each topic. Each session may provide direct download points to its related items only. However, if you are looking for something related to programming and are unsure in which session it may be, you can try finding it here:

openMSX updated with new interface (v 20.0) openMSX is the oldest MSX emulator . It's been with us for many years, and while it's had a reputation for being somewhat cumbersome to use by some less experienced users (myself included), today it's by far the best alternative to using a real machine. Throughout its existence, it has had to compete with other competitors (fMSX, ruMSX, MarsMSX Meisei, BlueMSX, etc.) that haven't made things easy for it. The latter, BlueMSX, was my choice for a long time due to its user-friendly interface and ease of use, without having to install the BIOS for the different MSX models ( System ROMs ), for example. When BlueMSX stopped being updated, I decided to give openMSX a try, better understanding how it worked in order to take full advantage of the huge number of options it has. This way, I managed to forget about BlueMSX and embrace openMSX as my favorite emulator to this day. This version 20.0 of openMSX debuts a new graphical user interface that is a complete revolution. The debugger and Catapult, which until now were separate programs, are now integrated into the emulator itself . Although they will continue to be available for download from the emulator's official website, the team has already announced that they will no longer be updating them. All the options of these Catapult and the debugger are integrated into openMSX. In addition, all the other options offered by the emulator are now accessible via a menu bar at the top of the screen. It couldn't be more convenient and simple. I'm very glad that openMSX has taken the path of being more user-friendly with an interface that, while not spectacular, more than meets expectations in a program like this. The path has already been laid out, and we'll see how it evolves in upcoming updates. A full description of the updates and changes made in this version can be found at this link .
