Hello to No$msx - version 1.5
---------------------------------
</TD></TR></TABLE><P>
<FONT SIZE=+0><B>About no$msx...</B></FONT><BR>
No$msx is a MSX1 + MSX2 emulator for DOS and Windows, like the other no$-emulators
it's including a comfortable debugger, so that it's more a serious development
tool than just a emulator. Beside for the development part, the most important
goals are: User-friendly GUI and lots of options, and the complete lack of
overload - the program is written in raw assembler language, sized about 150
KBytes, and works fine on 33MHz computers. That's my contribution against
modern mainstream programmers.
<P>
<FONT SIZE=+0><B>News in Version 1.5</B></FONT><BR>
There've been no updates for a long time, most news in this version are
related to the user interface & debugger (mainly improvements from other
no$-projects). But not so many msx-related things (parts of just because
there've been not very much msx-related bug reports).<BR>
Anyways, some of the news are pretty good useful, symbolic debug info,
preview for ARJ/ZIP compressed files, and various details. On the other hand,
a couple of new bugs may have crept into the program - please let me know if
you come accross any new/old bugs or glitches!
<P>
<FONT SIZE=+0><B>News in Version 1.4</B></FONT><BR>
It's a killer update. After last no$gmb version got cracked I have attempted
to forget that unlucky program, and mostly stopped working on it - and suddenly
had time to force my energies onto improvement of my cpc and msx emulators.
So, no$msx 1.4 is the result of three months of rapid action programming,
including almost 150 new details, fixes and features, for the complete list
click <A HREF="msxhist.htm">here</A>.<BR>
The most important news are:
Digital sound engine, reverse engineering & exact emulation of undocumented
Z80 flags / undocumented 'memptr' register, imported better windows GUI from
no$gmb source, various bugfixes, cartridge support, updated Portar docs,
snapshots, kanji ROM support, etc. Oh, and it's a <I>shareware</I> program now,
it's still fully functional - anyways, please take the time to
<A HREF="msxshare.htm">donate</A> some money.
<P>
<!--FONT SIZE=+0 No$msx Features
DOS and Windows versions exists, MSX1 and MSX2 support, all program code
written assembler language, probably fastest MSX emulator on earth (correct
me if I am wrong), most accurate Z80 CPU emulation, 8086 compatible XT version
exists, various user configurable options, local country-specific keyboard
support, speedup-patches, adlib and digital sound engines, cartridge support
(windows version only yet), user friendly GUI, built-in debugger, online
assembler and source code assembler, I/O map screen, etc.-->
<P>
All right, that's it, enjoy whatever you are going to use it for.

To get the emulation as fast and/or accurate as possible, pick the version that
matches best for your computer. The 'Protected Mode' versions are fastest, but
won't work with Windows as they need to take over full CPU control.
