nobody wants to claim an emulator has perfect accuracy, because there's never a formal specification to ratify emulators against, so probably none of them is, and definitely none of them provably is.My subjective basic impressions that may or may not be correct are: I have an editing account at which at least means I've tried to ask about and to divine the intended meanings of the various columns. Every now and then some developer may find some weird quirk that is not emulated correctly, but these are extremely rarely anymore in MSX1/MSX2/MSX2+ standard features and generally they are pretty much fixed as soon as they are properly documented. From technical side it usually does everything you need and much much more, but you need to be quite a hacker to master the power you are given.įrom accuracy point of view I find it quite unlikely that you will encounter any problems with openMSX even as a developer. Although BlueMSX is outdated, it is still alive among users due to the fact that it is very easy to approach compared to openMSX that really feels & smells like developer tool instead of end user product. During last 13 years the openMSX has improved constantly while the BlueMSX project has been just idling. To avoid this being just a pure topic hijack, I must say that the comparison results can be pretty much explained from the fact that the results are from 2005. ? Was the MSX2 scene built around home upgraded SVI-738's or did you import some Phillips machines from Netherlands? How big was the user base? You also probably have some insight information about the copy parties etc. I hope you could light up this mystery to me a bit. I don't believe MSX2 computers have been sold there and yet there was this kind of stuff coming out in "early days" (pretty much meaning time before Internet was an affordable hobby). The whole Norway "MSX scene" has been quite a mystery to me ever since. I remember very well that I downloaded "Fear of an FM-planet" from Funet some time in 1997 or so and I was quite impressed to learn it was made in Norway.
