| blueMSX | v2.1 | 12/25/04 12/25/04 02/07/04 11/20/04 |
Windows | A brand new MSX emulator by Daniel Vik based on fMSX v2.7. There are lots of improvements in this build and things are looking really good so far. Download it and give it a shot! |
| BRMSX | v2.6 | 05/10/00 | DOS |
This is a Brazilian MSX-2 emulator. It's probably one of the fastest around. It works quite well on a 386-based machine. It's even got the possibility to link two PCs together to play multi player games (for example Salamander) It's also very stable. It's still under development, but it looks very good. It features some SCC sound aswell, and has a very advanced PSG emulation. Even the games with sound samples work the way they should!
This is the officially released source code for version 2.06 of BrMSX. This is the lite download on BrMSX. Includes the executable, and the two MSX2 ROMs. |
| CJS MSX Emulator | v1.0b | 02/15/96 | DOS | This is a fast emulator which was designed to run on any 386 or higher. It has not been updated in a while, however it has sound and basically emulates the MSX quite well. It's definitly worth the download for any MSX fan. |
| fMSX (Win) | Latest version: 2.8 (Demo Not Available)

Win9x DOS |
This is one of the most complete and most compatible MSX emulators around, with sound and most functions implemented. It emulates the MSX, MSX2 and MSX2+. It is written in C, and is the most ported of all MSX emulators around, with ports for Windows, Dos, Unix, MacOS and AmigaOS. The Windows and DOS versions are only available to people who register. Registration is US$35 and you can buy it from the official fMSX page. These are the extremely old and outdated versions that are available for free. |
| fMSX FAN | v1.48 | 04/24/02 04/24/02 |
DOS Windows |
MSX emulator that supports MSX 1,2, and 2+. |
| fMSX-SDL | v2.6.0.40 | 04/24/02 07/23/01 |
Windows | This is an SDL (Simple Direct Media Library) port of Marat Fayzullin's fMSX emulator. The difference between this and paraMSX (the Windows port of fMSX) is this includes MSX-MUSIC and it's the first MSX emulator which includes MSX-AUDIO emulation. fMSX-SDL also supports high resolution (with scanlines). |
| fMSX SO | v1.32 | 02/26/03 | Windows | This emulator has MSX, MSX2, and MSX 2+ support. It is aiming for perfect OPLL emulation. |
| MSKISS | v0.2.4 | 03/14/00 | DOS | This emulator is coded entirely in DJGPP C. It's not very fast, but it runs basic 16/32KB images as well as konami MSX-1 roms, ASCII 8KB, ASCII 16KB and original FM PAC. It also supports .DSK files (disk images). It only has sound support for GUS cards. It's not the best MSX emulator there is, nor the fastest, but here it is for your downloading. |
| MSXPLAYer | Release 1 | 09/27/01 | Windows | Don't know much about this one, since it's entirely in Japanese. What is known is that you need at least an equivalent to a Celeron 500mHz processor to run it. |
| MSX Emulator | v0.10b | 07/07/00 | AtariST | This emulator has MSX-1 support. It is designed to run on the AtariST. |
| NLMSX | v0.48 | 06/12/03 | Win9x/NT | Based on the Z80 emulation of fMSX, this emu features command line parameters, ROM and disk images, multiple MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ configurations, PSG, FM-PAC, multiple SCC/SCC+ combinations, MSXDOS 2 carts, Konami MEGAROM carts, ASCII MEGAROM carts, Kanji, full color in MSX2+ screens, full screen mode, horizontal scrolling screens and line interrupts. Does a nice smooth job on the emulation. |
| NO$MSX | v1.5 | 05/01/03 | Windows DOS |
This is a new MSX emulator which was created by the author of NO$GMB and NO$CPC. This is a very early attempt to emulate the MSX, and does not emulate the MSX2 or more advanced video functions. Download it if you're looking for a fast emulator with limited compatiblity. Multiple versions of No$MSX are available optimized for different systems at the webiste. |
| openMSX | v0.5.0 | 10/18/04 | Win9x | This is an open source MSX emulator that is quite good. It supports graphic filters, fullscreen mode, scalers, scanlines and more. Give it a try! |
| ParaMSX | v0.42 | 07/01/02 | Win9x | This Windows port of fMSX packs a lot of features coming out of the starting gate and looks to be an emulator to watch out for. |
| Power MSX | v1.0 | 02/04/02 | DOS | Power MSX is a MSX emulator that runs on DOS and emulates a MSX1. It emulates tapes and drives also. It runs on VESA2 with linear frame buffer or VGA and a Sound Blaster. |
| RedMSX | v1.3 | 09/18/04 | Windows | This is an MSX emulator by SLotman based off blueMSX which adds a couple more features including the loading of zipped ROMs and Scale2x mode |
| RuMSX | v0.28 Japanese, German, Dutch, Portugese/Brazilian, Arabic language pack |
06/12/04 | Win9x/DirectX 3.0+ |
This is the newest MSX emulator. It has a nice GUI, and the compatibility rate is only a little less than that of fMSX. It currently emulates the MSX, MSX2, MSX2+, and Turbo-R. It will emulate the mouse and MSX audio in the future. This is one of the best MSX emulators available and it's worth the download. You probably just want the Install package. |
| Virtual MSX | v1.1b | 12/16/96 | Win9x |
With sound, joystick emulation, and the fact that this 32 bit assembly written emulator runs most games make it a good choice for a good MSX emulator. It comes with its own install program. This project has been discontinued. |
| WOOM! | v0.3 Beta | 02/13/00 | Win9x | WOOM stands for Windows Object Oriented MSX. It is written in pure Object Orientation and doesn't worry about speed at all, so you will need a fast computer to run it. The goal is to create a perfect emulator by keeping the code clean. It currently supports MSX1 and MSX2, and runs all MegaROMs fine. |
| Zodiac | v0.8.1 | 04/24/02 | Windows | This emulator and its website are in Japanese, so here's a rough translation of what Zodiac can do: Z80 CPU core is done, V9938/V9958 emulation is done, and YM2413 (sound) is done. It's also coded under the GPL, so the source is available. |
