BlueMSX-wii is an MSX 1/MSX 2/MSX 2+/Turbo R emulator for the Nintendo Wii.
This emulator is based on blueMSX, ported to run on the Nintendo Wii. The emulator will be feature complete, which means that everything works (audio, controllers, keyboard). A nice GUI is featured to choose the games/applications you wish to play.

Features
- Powerful and accurate BlueMSX emulator core featuring:
* Very accurate emulation of MSX, MSX2, MSX2+, Turbo-R. * Very accurate emulation of all sound processors; PSG, SCC, MSX-Music, MSX-Audio and Moonsound. * Multiple machine definitions, easily adaptable/extensible. * Build-in ROM database to automatically use the right ROM mapper for megaROM games. * A lot more, see BlueMSX website.
- Wii improvement regarding emulation:
* 100% smooth video emulation because of synchronization between MSX and Wii video output. * 100% smooth audio because of automatically calibrating re-sampling. * Wii video output switches automatically between 50Hz/60Hz to meet the video output standard of the MSX (Only on PAL Wii, on NTSC Wii the MSX is forced to always operate at 60Hz).
- Powerful GUI:
* Game selector with multiple directory support. * Shows two screenshots for every game. * Screenshots can be automatically added by creating screenshot from ‘home’-menu Games can easily be added/configured by editing .xml files. * State can be saved/restored from the ‘home’-menu. * Restore state menu shows the date/time and a screenshot of the saved state. * On-screen keyboard by pointing your wiimote to the screen.
- General features:
* Automatic SD-Card installation procedure, runs out of the box. * Two controllers supported for multiplayer games. * Nunchuck and GameCube controllers supported. * Classic controller supported (highly recommended!). * USB keyboard supported (Logictech wireless Wii keyboard recommended).
Usage
