✨ NAME ✨

openmsx — perfectly emulate the MSX standard and more 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

openmsx

That's the whole thing, bestie. Just the command, no arguments, no drama. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, this manual page documents briefly the openmsx command. Brief is the key word here — she's not trying to be your whole life, she's trying to be your little map.

Mainly, this page exists to point you at the documentation that actually lives in HTML format. The good stuff. See below for where it's at. 👀

openmsx is the MSX emulator that aims for perfection. Aims for it. And honestly? She gets there. No cap. 👑

Here are the supported file types of MSX media:

  • cas — tape image in fMSX CAS format
  • di1, di2, dsk, xsa — disk image
  • rom — ROM image of a cartridge
  • wav — Raw tape image, as recorded from real tape
  • ogv — Video recording, as recorded from real Laserdisc Player

And the plot twist: Zlib compressed files can also be used. Obsessed. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

The program follows the usual a command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). Some commands also start with one dash. A short summary of options is included below — she's giving you the lil appetizer, not the whole meal. 🍓

  • -h, --help — Show summary of options; at least a completer summary than this one. Like, this page is the teaser, that's the full trailer.
