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.

Special thanks to Pixador for his hard work on my previous dingux version.
All those improvements are now part of this new caanoo version.

Here is a copy of the changelog v1.1.2 :
- USB Joystick support !
(up to two players if you got a Twin USB joystick adapter
or if you use Caanoo Pad + one USB joystick)
- Overclock support and default cpu clock when exiting the emu
- global disk / rom files location
- Rom file selector bug fix
- Add F10 key in Danzeff keyboard
- New title icon from Mospaedax
- improve speed limiter accuracy

From Pixador dingux mods :
- Updated the Z80 emulation to the latest fMSX one
- Emulation of M1 cycles: R register is now fully emulated and cycles are more accurate.
- Fixed joystick emulation: joystick 2 must not be a copy of joystick 1
- Fixed color 0 in MSX2 sprites
- Fixed color palette for Screen 8 sprites
- Full color depth in Screen 8
- Fixed initial memory mapping for ASCII8 and ASCII16 megaroms
- New megarom type: RTYPE
- Megarom detection with SHA1 checksum with file carts.sha (based on Cax mod)
- Tweaked the built-in megarom type detection to improve its accuracy
- Added setting to force a specific megarom type
- FM-PAC is not loaded if FM emulation disabled
- Sound is shut down when the MSX is reset
- New Render modes: "zoomed" and "fullscreen" (based on Cax mod)

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

Binary package is avaiable on my blog :

Latest sources can be checkout from my mercurial repository :
hg clone https://caanoo-msx.googlecode.com/hg caanoo-msx


Enjoy,

Zx.
 
Thank you very much for your constant updates of your ports, zx-81.

PS: Could you please add a frame-limiter to your GPSP-port?
 
Anyone have a list of recommended games for the msx?. I'm interested in the console but I have no idea where to begin

Metal Gear Solid would be a good start.
Maybe this helps 20 games that defined msx gaming

Any chance of an updated Wiz build? The speed seems to be quite off, possibly due to the frame limiter issue that you fixed in this new Caanoo build.

I was in the same position! I found the video that Akabei suggested and based on that list and others as well as my own areas of interest but also favouring non-MAME games (i.e. trying to avoid inferior arcade clones), I came up with the following list:

Aleste
Bomberman
F1-Spirit
Hinotori
King Kong 2
King's Valley
King's Valley 2
Knightmare
Maze of Galious
Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake*
Mr Ghost
Nemesis
Nemesis 2
Parodius
Penguin Adventure
Pippols
R-Type
Road Fighter
Salamander
SD Snatcher
Sky Jgauar
Space Manbow
The Castle
The Goonies
Thexder 1 & 2
Treasure of USAS
Vampire Killer
