Hi All,

fMSX is a famous emulator of the MSX, MSX2, and MSX2+ 8bit home computers.
It runs MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ software on many different platforms including Windows and Unix.
See http://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/ for further informations.

It has been first written by Marat Fayzullin, and later Vincent van Dam ported it on SDL.

Here is a port on Pandora of the version i've previously ported to GP2X-Wiz and other portable consoles.

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

It's distributed under Marat Fayzullin's license for the original MSX part, and under GNU license for all the Pandora part.

Here is a full working binary version :

Enjoy,

Zx.

Will you eventually add real keyboard support? I do love this emulator to bits nostalgia times

You can use the virtual keyboard, but it's not really convenient. I can fix the bug with upper keys, but there are few keys (graph, stop etc ...) that have no mapping on pandora keyboard.

I am a bit lost (sorry I am such a noob) I didnt seem to have any keyboard support only the virtual one and how can you do things as numbers etc. on the virtual one? Or am I doing something completly wrong.

(to switch from one version to another you just need to delete the PND or the whole appdata/msx folder as well?)

When the virtual keyboard is displayed you can't use the pandora keyboard. But when the virtual keyboard is off, then the pandora keyboard is working fine (but no uppercase letter ...)
Remove the PND should be good enough.

You may try this fixed version : (shift keys are working, small bugs have been fixed, and i've removed the splash screen with ice age stuff (copyright issue)).

Nice years those ones ... we were filled with expectations and entertained by a couple of sprites made out of 4 colors
