fMSX Amiga is an Amiga port of fMSX UNIX. It emulates the MSX computer
system. The emulation requires an 68020 and the v36 OS (or better). Fastram
is not required but essential for good performance.

'MSX' is an 8-bit computer system with surprisingly good graphics and sound
capabilities. MSX emulation is far easier than C64 emulation and can
therefore be done with very good result; however, the results look far
better than (for example) Spectrum emulations could ever hope for.

In fact, some MSX games are on par with Amiga games when it comes to
graphics and playability! Several MSX pictures have been uploaded to aminet
(pix/illu/msx_emu.lha).

Depending on the task at hand it is about as fast as a real MSX on my
a4000/30, sometimes even a tad faster.

The MSX1 system is completely emulated. Many MSX2 features are also
supported, and some MSX2 games (though not all) are in fact playable: Metal
Gear, Firebird, Vampire Killer and Kings Valley 2 MSX2 fall in this category.

New features in this release include extensive tape support, the ability to
create diskimages, sprites in screen 7, and many bug fixes (the important of
which is that fMSX will no longer hang while changing screenmode).

Many games for MSX are available through FTP or WWW. Sitenames can be found
in the documentation.
