Non-MSX machines
blueMSX is shipped with different non-MSX
machines; the required system roms are generally
stored for each machine in a dedicated
subdirectory of the directory Machines. The Sega
SG-1000 console and the SC-3000 computer do not
require a system rom to be fully emulated.
Only the ColecoVision
console is yet supported, this console has 4 non-expanded
slots, 1 cartridge slot, 1 Kb Mirrored RAM and 16
Kb VRAM.
You can also use the Spectravideo SVI-603
Coleco game adapter or the ColecoVision with the Opcode
Memory Extension (16 Kb RAM).
The video frequency is 60 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 50 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
We hope to emulate in a future version the
ColecoAdam computer that has more features.
Three Sega machines are
emulated by blueMSX : the SG-1000 console, the SC-3000
and SF-7000 computers.
Sega Game-1000 and Sega
Computer-3000 have 4 non-expanded slots,
1 cartridge slot, 2 Kb Mirrored RAM and 16 Kb
VRAM. The SC-3000 can run games or applications
that require a keyboard. The Sega BASIC comes on
cartridges that have their own RAM (16 or 32 Kb).
SF-7000 is an extension for SC-3000,
transforming it into a Super Control
Station with 1 disk drive, 4 non-expanded
slots, 1 cartridge slot, 64 Kb RAM and 16 Kb VRAM.
A system disk is required to use the Sega Disk
Basic.
The video frequency is 60 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 50 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
We hope to emulate in a future version the Sega
Master System with its advanced video mode.
Five SVI machines are emulated
by blueMSX. They have 4 non-expanded slots, 1
cartridge slot, 1 tape port, 16 Kb VRAM and a
QWERTY keyboard.
The video frequency is 50 Hz, but you can
manually switch to 60 Hz in the Options/Emulation
menu.
Differences between these machines concern mainly
the RAM, the addition of a drive and the presence
of a second video card :
