Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

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

openMSX APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the openMSX APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f17f6361d58aacfa4df9efac4c56cc88.
