It was released in 1985. Notable titles include [[wp>Metal_Gear_(video_game)|Metal Gear]]. Despite this being a product of Microsoft, it's likely you've never heard of this computer. It was primarily popular in the Asian, South American and European regions, but virtually unknown in North America. Manufacturing was split up among a wide range of companies, including Pioneer, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Sanyo, Philips and LG Goldstar. Therefore, there were many different alternative names for the system, including: * Panasonic FS-A1 * Panasonic FS-A1mkII * Toshiba FS-TM1 This system scrapes metadata for the "msx" group and loads the ''msx2'' set from the currently selected theme, if available. Grouped with the "msx" group of systems. </WRAP> <WRAP third column> {{ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabricecaruso/es-theme-carbon/master/art/consoles/msx2.png?nolink&350 |}} </WRAP> </WRAP> ==== Quick reference ==== * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.dsk'', ''.mx2'', ''.rom'', ''.zip'', ''.7z'', ''.cas'', ''.m3u'' * **Folder:** ''/userdata/roms/msx2'' ^ Emulators ^ | [[#libretro:_bluemsx|libretro: bluemsx]] | | [[#libretro:_fmsx|libretro: fmsx]] | | [[#openmsx|openmsx]] | ===== BIOS ===== ^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^ | ''ec3a01c91f24fbddcbcab0ad301bc9ef'' | ''bios/MSX2.ROM'' | | | ''2183c2aff17cf4297bdb496de78c2e8a'' | ''bios/MSX2EXT.ROM'' | | Download the BlueMSX standalone at http://bluemsx.msxblue.com/rel_download/blueMSXv282full.zip Then extract the "Databases" and "Machines" folders and add them to the ''bios'' folder.

This can be handled by RetroArch using a [[:cd_image_formats#multi-disc_games|M3U playlist]]. For example: <file - test-game.m3u> test game disk 1.dsk test game disk 2.dsk test game disk 3.dsk </file> Batocera will automatically hide the extra disk files and only show the M3U playlist as the playable game in EmulationStation. ===== Emulators ===== ==== RetroArch ==== RetroArch has [[emulators:retroarch|its own page]]. === libretro: blueMSX === [[http://bluemsx.msxblue.com/download.html|blueMSX]] is a cycle-accurate, [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/bluemsx/|open-source]] MSX/SVI/ColecoVision/SG-1000 emulator with high compatibility.
