Product Description:

fMSX/MacOS is a MSX1/2/2+ emulator for Macintosh. It includes accurate hardware emulation, including support for Disk, Cassette, and ROM images. Full sound emulation, including SCC support, is included.

What's new in this version:

Audio recording no longer stops when emulator is switched to background, provided that the option to keep emulating in background is on. Recording will still stop if the emulator does.
Brushed metal mode is now off by default on new installs, as well as existing installs where users press the Default button.
Fixed an obscure endian bug that resulted in odd window sizes when an emulator preferences file was moved between PowerPC and Intel.
Fixed several minor visual glitches in the Preferences dialog box.
Modified the behaviour of the Quick Freeze function, so that the last ten quick freezes for each game are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/Bannister/(emulator name)/Saved States. You can restore these at any time using the Defrost menu command. Added code to stop the quick freeze and quick defrost keys from being repeated. Thanks to David McCabe for the suggestion.
Replaced custom about box with standard HIAboutBox. Removed option to pause execution when about box is open.
(fMSX) Added several additional configuration options in Preferences.
(fMSX) Synchronised with v3.5 of the core source code. This involved a considerable amount of rewriting to the Mac code, so it's possible that some things may be currently broken. Please report issues so I can fix them.
(fMSX) The shareware prompt now does not appear for the first time until five minutes into program execution.

Good but not level with PC MSX emulators - Version: 2.7.1, 11/27/2003 05:11AM PST

fMSX for the Mac is certainly the best MSX emulator on the Mac... but it is behind other MSX emulators on PC like NlMSX...
Just to comment, I know over 35 different manufacturers of MSX systems, leaving out all other manufacturers who made peripherals etc... so realistically 50+ companies were involved with the system without doubt.

emul - MSX doesnt mean Microsoft Extended: this rumor is stupid and false. Also, MSX is not a standard with 50 manufacturers: the exact number is 17.

be 1981... I think the party lasted until 1990, though I know of a more recent version of MSX called TurboR with a 28mhz RISC processor, excellent sound & Graphics, released in Japan only.
