I have downloaded fMSX for the pocket PC and it emulates games just fine but for some reason it's virtual keyboard doesn't work making it impossible to do anything. I can't find any help files on it and have tried downloading it again, but I can't get it to work. Is there any special file I need to download to make it work?

I'm testing fMSX-CE too, and i am not even able to run a game

I don't know if RTFM..... but, linking with other post on this section, fMSXce is not a friendly emulator today

Anybody knows more MSX emu's for pocketPC ?

This is a nice MSX emulator for pocketPC...

I guess it only can execute ROM and DISK, and there is some sound leaks, but the games works perfectly!! KV2 on the bathroom... cool... :P

In the bathroom, I hope!

Ever since I bought a GB(A), I found out how much fun it is to play games at strange places How 'bout a topic about "the strangest place you played an MSX game"?

Lemme start such topic right away!

I can remember a few times when my friends dragged me to see movies I didn't care to see so I just played gameboy throughout the movie, but other than that the bathroom is the weirdest place. I have already tried to read the docs that came with fMSX-CE but they're in some other language . The game I want to play is Metal Gear and it plays in fMSX-CE, just without keyboard support. But that other emulator works great with it, but since it doesn't support save states or casettes I can't save Metal Gear on it. Oh well, there are still plenty of other great MSX games I can play instead until the programmers decide to add more functionality to their emulators.

samurairamza,
how were u able to run fmsxce? i installed the file and tried to run a couple roms but nothing happened. the readme file is also useless as it appears in symbols... do i need to download other files too? and if so, where do they go?

thanks

Hi Bob

I have a Compaq Ipaq Pocket PC but i cant get the MSX Emulator working. I presume i'm missing some files, you said you've got it working. Could you tell me how ?

Many thanks

With fMSX-ce, the same for me -yet-

U can try with pocketMSX, it works on my iPAQ, despite the sound fail and it can't save states
