Wiz-Msx: Msx Emulator For Wiz V1.1.0

[zx-81]

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.

Here is a port on GP2X-Wiz of the version i've previously ported to PSP.

Many new features have been added compared to GP2X-F100 version.
Here is a copy of the changelog :

- Cheat support !
- New background images
- Text editor to write your own comments on games
- Text editor to modify the global cheat.txt file
- Display first comment line while browsing game files
- Memory monitoring engine to find your own cheat code !
- Zip rom files are now decompressed in memory (much faster !)
- Improve file requester with virtual keyboard to choose
sequentially rom files beginning with a given letter
- Add documentation for settings in help menu
- Add gzipped disk file support, reduce disk file size from 700k to 50k !
(you may gzip original dsk file using www.7-zip.org)

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

It's distributed under Marat Fayzullin's license for the original MSX part,
and under GNU license for all the GP2X-Wiz part.

Thank you again zx-81! Another great day to have a Wiz(heh), sorry I just like saying that.

But seriously thank you very much, this is awesome. Another day, another emulator ported.

Brilliant! I was thinking how an MSX emu was missing from the wiz, and here it is! Thanks.

Yet another excellent port, but I've got a couple of ideas for the next port (or updates for your previous ones)

1. Could the ROM names have more space on the ROM selection screen & on the options screen as half of the letters are usually missing.
2. Could the virtual keyboard be made transparent so you can see what's going on behind it. (Also, if you keep your finger on one of the 'buttons' it only registers one keypress instead of constant pressure)
3. Sometimes the emulators hang up on exiting.

Apart from this your emulators are some of the best. (Atari 2600 next?)

Thanks for your feedback and good ideas. And to answer your last question i don't know for now, i wanted to finish psp version first (with IRDA joystick stuff) before porting it back to gp2x.

Thanks for the continued great ports. As far as the 2600 you could always port an older version you had I would think. IRDA would be a useless feature for the Wiz since it doesn't have IRDA. That would make things a bit easier and quicker to port to Wiz too as you wouldn't have to worry about disabling IRDA or changing the menu to remove the option from the Wiz version. I too am really looking forward to 2600 and Atari 5200/800.

Thanks for the great work.

Atari 7800 would be great too
