A major update of Emulicious is available!

This update comes with several additions and improvements. Most notably an additional system is now emulated, the MSX.

Four weeks ago I got interested in emulating the MSX and now I feel it is ready to be released. It supports most cartridge ROMs released for the MSX1. If a disk ROM and an alternative BIOS are provided it also supports program on floppy disks in the form of dsk images.

Emulicious’s debugger now also supports loading Sjasm lst files as source files. Sjasm is a Z80 assembler that is often used for MSX development but can also be used for other Z80 systems like the Mastersystem.

Furthermore, the profiler has been improved to better support the calling convention of C.

The full list of changes follows:

Added MSX emulation
Added support to load lst files containing Sjasm sourcecode in the debugger
Improved Profiler to better work with C calling convention
Remember last directory for loading sources/symbols
Fixed an issue with breakpoints on ROMs larger than 4 MB (thanks to Antígeno)
Improved Auto Palette option in Tile Viewer for SMS Mode 4
Added View menu to Tile Viewer to choose different layouts
Added Frame Advance to the main emulator (formerly only available in debugger)
Improved Tilemap Viewer and Tile Viewer support for TMS Modes
Added CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE as hotkey for Reload ROM
Added an option to automatically reload a ROM when it changes
Fixed a bug that wouldn’t allow setting gamepad inputs if there
are more than 2 gamepads connected (Thanks to Niloct)
Several minor bugfixes and improvements

The MSX emulation also works with all of Emulicious's debugging features and that way should be of help for MSX2SMS conversions.

It also supports trackers for the MSX such as Moonblaster. If you want to run Moonblaster you require an MSX BIOS other than C-BIOS and a Disk ROM. Additionally, you might want to select a folder for Disk B so you can export your tracked moonblaster music.

Just for sake of curiosity, there's any special System Rom recommended for using disk? I'm been trying some randomly and I get black screens. (Also I'm struggling to find a MSX1 with Disk drive)..

Any combination of MSX1 bios and disk rom should work. Make sure that you're using the enhanced version of Moonblaster found on http://msx.fi/temp/moonblst.zip
