Homebrew developer Akop Karapetyan, otherwise known as Uberjack, has released a maintenance update to fMSX, an MSX series emulator for the PSP that supports both MSX and MSX2 cartridge files.

Version 3.5.3 includes a single bug fix and an additional feature which saves ROM type settings between loading sessions, as detailed in the changelog provided below.

* Games/applications that require MSX Audio/MSX Music will no longer crash the emulator if either is disabled in System settings – there will simply be no Y2413/YM8950 audio (PSG and SCC will still render as usual, however)
* ROM type settings are now saved between sessions – up to 500 different ROM’s can be tracked by CRC32 value. This adds a slight loading delay when the emulator starts up, as well as a saving delay when the emulator exits (if any changes are made during the session)

The author notes that the aforementioned feature is still experimental and is welcoming any feedback that users may have.

Homebrew developer Akop Karapetyan has unveiled the initial release of fMSX-PSP, a port of the original PC fMSX emulator to PSP. Features include three available rendering modes (normal size, 4:3 scaled, 16:9 scaled), save state loading, game-specific control setups, support for MSX and MSX2 game types, and an on-screen virtual keyboard.

Although not the first MSX emulator for PSP, it’s nice to see another developer taking up the challenge. MSX is a computer game system that was home to many classics back in the 1980s, most notably Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Vampire Killer.
