This is a MSX emulator 100% written in JavaScript.
It's based on the jsMSX project and forked from the gmarty / jsMSX GitHub repository.
See a demo running at http://msxjs.com:4000/.
Tested in the following browsers:
- Chrome 32.0
- Firefox 26.0
Create a directory called lib to put jQuery and Bootstrap libs there.
Create a directory called roms to put ROM files there.
See the directory structure:
lib
bootstrap
css
fonts
js
jquery.min.js
roms
bios
cbios_main_msx1.rom
expert_1.0_basic-bios1.rom
games
KNMARE.ROM
ROAD.ROM
Since we are having some difficulties to load the ROMs from local files, we configured a HTTP server to serve the app and the ROM files.
$ npm install connect
$ node server.js
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/msxjs
-----------------------------------------------
Alias /msxjs /home/nodeminderjs/workspace/msxjs

jsMSX is a MSX emulator 100% written in JavaScript. Yes, you read it: JavaScript! It emulates the underlying Z80 CPU, TMS9918 Video Display Processor (VDP), PPI, RAM slots and Megaram. In its present form, it should be able to run any program or game developed for MSX 1.0.
If you think you'd like to participate, are just curious or want to say hello, please have a look at the project.
Portions of the initial JavaScript code was derived from Arnon Cardoso's Java MSX Emulator (first Java MSX emulator), Murilo Queiroz's Java Phoenix Emulator (first Java Arcade emulator) and Davidson&Pollard's Z80 class of the Spectrum Java Emulator, after reading this thread: http://www.msx.org/forumtopic4176.html. Thank you all for your past efforts!
