Manuel : the question made by jrosnell was about fMSX-Android, that's why in my answer I have given tips only about fMSX.
I could indeed have spoken about MSX.emu, based on blueMSX (and you know I'm co-developer of blueMSX), but it was for me out of question for 2 reasons : the end-user did not mention other emulators; although based on blueMSX, MSX.emu does not seem to support currently the tapes (I've checked the official site).
I've never protested when you come with your openMSX promotion in threads about blueMSX, but I understand fms reaction : it's annoying. Generally, I don't speak about blueMSX in threads about openMSX, except if the end-user wants to compare and/or is not satisfied with an openMSX feature. You should have a similar attitude in threads about other emulators.
The most annoying part in your message here in the thread was about the auto-running feature of openMSX for tapes. It's pure advertisement and not very elegant for other emulators. Besides, not everyone is happy with this feature, but that's another discussion.
I understand your beef in this topic. However, Manuel's tip didn't affect me in any way, I'm still waiting a patch/update to fMSX-Android. I like fMSX, I like how it works.
Hello, All!
I have just updated fMSX-Android, my MSX home computer emulator, to version 3.8.1:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx.d... (full version)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx (free version)
In spite of a small version number change, this is a rather major update. It adds proper support for cassette tape images, the slow-motion mode, the audible keyboard clicks, and fixes several long-time bugs, such as screen artifacts in OpenGLES mode. Get the new update while it's hot :)
ALL CHANGES:
* Added support for tape images, supplied in *.CAS files.
* Added slow-motion mode, combined with fast-forward mode.
* Added optional click sound to the virtual keyboard.
* Fixed left/top edge artifacts with accelerated video enabled.
* Fixed multitouch input in cases when it didn't work.
* Fixed keyboard input sensitivity.
* Added Rewind Tape menu option.
* Switched to the newest NDK and compiler toolchain.
* Fixed rare crashes in gesture detection.
Have fun!
Hello, All!
I have released fMSX-Windows 3.8, as well as the source code for fMSX-Unix today:

* Implemented 5th/9th sprite fields in the VDP status register.
* No longer clearing VRAM address latch when reading VDP status.

Hello, All!
I have been improving sound chip emulation in fMSX-Android 3.9 and just published the results of my work to the Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx.d... -- full version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx -- free version
This fMSX release has much, much better PSG sound emulation. The proper white noise emulation is back, and the channel volumes are now logarithmic. I have also fixed the amplitude envelope lengths and changed the way envelopes work. In addition to the sound, there are fixes to network play, virtual gamepad, and the File Selector. Starting with this version, fMSX-Android will also automatically open ROM files with .MX1/.MX2 extensions.
ALL CHANGES:
* Majorly improved AY8910 PSG emulation.
* Added support for .MX1/.MX2 ROM files.
* Added "Settings" menu option to the File Selector.
* Added "Tilt Joystick Blind Radius" setting.
* Fixed directional pad activated by touching outside.
* Fixed network play, previously broken for some users.
* Fixed auxillary files display in the File Selector.
* Set precise CPU, VDP, and PSG frequences.
* Switched to table-based PSG envelopes.
* Switched to logarithmic PSG volumes.
* Fixed white noise frequency computation.
* Adjusted noise to be 50% of the melodic volume.
* Adjusted envelopes length.
* Improved overall melodic audio quality.
Have fun!
sound improvements? Nice, I always love those 
...will be testing it later, new phone.
Hi!
I have an issue with Fmsx. If I press backspace in the virtual keyboard it quits. I'm using the free version with a Sansung Galaxy S3 running android 4.1.2. Can you check that, please?
You've made a good work!
