MSX emulator that aims for perfection

openMSX is an open source MSX emulator that uses a unique emulation model
which tries to achieve the highest level of accuracy possible.  It allows
emulating a large number of different MSX machines.  Using the included
C-BIOS ROM files, you can run game ROMs without the need to acquire the
non-free original MSX-BIOS ROM.
emulators/openmsx: Upgrade from version 0.6.2 to 0.9.0 By request of the upstream developers, openMSX has been upgraded to the 12 Aug 2012 release (0.9.0). The current version in pkgsrc is 0.6.2 was released over 5 years ago on 15 April 2007. The openMSX project has added extensive features through eight newer releases since then, so the project was "embarrassed" about the currency of the pkgsrc version. The changes of each release are way to long to list, so here are the links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmsx/files/openmsx/0.9.0/README_release-notes.txt/view http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmsx/files/openmsx/0.8.2/README_release-notes.txt/view http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmsx/files/openmsx/0.8.1/README_release-notes.txt/view http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmsx/files/openmsx/0.8.0/release-notes.txt/view Consecutive release notes 0.7.2/0.7.1, 0.7.0, 0.6.3: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=38274&release_id=693184 Tested Zombie Incident on DragonFly. It works nicely! 2012-08-26 11:07:21 +02:00			`MSX emulator that aims for perfection`
Initial import of openmsx-0.4.0. openMSX, the open source MSX emulator that tries to achieve near-perfect emulation by using a novel emulation model. Hardware emulated: o almost all MSX systems, except for some details. o Different CPU clock speeds, including those for the Panasonic MSX2+ machines. o Almost all known cartridge mapper types via autodetection or the included ROM database. o Many MSX storage (disk/SRAM) systems. o kanji JIS ROM 1 and 2. o Mouse and joystick (with option to use the keyboard as joystick). o rensha turbo auto fire support. And more! -- http://openmsx.sf.net/ 2004-05-29 13:28:43 +02:00
