About openMSX
openMSX is an open source emulator of the MSX home computer system.
By default, it comes with a minimal firmware rom, known as c-bios, which enables you to run most cartridge based MSX games.
In order to run such a game, you can copy a dump of the cartridge onto the storage memory of your Android device and then insert the so-called ROM into the virtual cartridge slot of the emulator using the on-screen menu that you can open with the standard Android menu key.
You can also install the firmware of your real MSX into openMSX. See
http://openmsx.sourceforge.net/manual/setup.html for further details. This enables you to play around with MSX Basic and all other features provided by the standard MSX firmware.
Furthermore, if you are a power user, you may want to read the user manual for an overview of the advanced features of openMSX: http://openmsx.org/manual/user.html

App History & Updates
What's Changed
openMSX 0.14.0—Blasphemy— is another mix of some new features and additions and a lot of smaller fixes and improvements. This release adds support for Konami Ultimate Collection and basic emulation for the Spectravideo SVI-318 and SVI-328 pre-MSX computers, increases FDC accuracy in such a way that we think all copy protections (captured in a DMK file) should now run in openMSX.

I cannot yet judge the app to its fullest extend due to one significant problem: I do not have a Samsung phone, but an LG, hence I lack a menu button. How am I supposed to install any ROMs into the emulator, etc? Am I missing something? It's a pity, really, it seems most of the users enjoy the app...

Scrolling files is kind of a pain but the emulator runs great. Thanks for the excellent work.

It seems to be great as far as getting it to emulate the msx and the authors certainly put a lot of work into this. However it's horribly difficult to navigate in its cramped up interface which makes for an unpleasant experience

It crashes on startup on my Nexus 6, on a fresh (wiped and flashed with a factory image) install of Android Nougat 7.1.1. It did the same thing on Android 5.0.1 on my phone a year ago. I love this software on my linux desktop, but apparently there's a bug with the SDL 1.2 implementation it uses here.
