openMSX

3rd Party

On this page you will find some 3rd party material that is related to openMSX, but not written by the openMSX authors. This also means that the openMSX authors do not support it, nor keep it up to date, as it is unofficial. But it can be very interesting for our users and we also like it very much that people write applications around openMSX or write extra documentation. Keep up the good work, people!

Oh, and if there's some interesting stuff we missed, please let us know!

Launchers

NekoLauncher openMSX

Because the old style Catapult does not run (properly) on Mac, an active Japanese emulator user/programmer wrote an openMSX variant of his NekoLauncher series. It looks like a simple launcher, but also seems to be very user friendly.

openMSX Peashooter

For the same reason, Cesco made another launcher for openMSX on OS X. It seems to be focused mainly on games and features image previews.

Miscellaneous

OpenMSX Control Plugin for Gedit

Rafael Jannone made an interesting thing: a plugin for Gedit, so that you can easily test your MSX Basic programs in openMSX, while using the Gedit text editor. He wrote a whole load of Python scripts to make this possible. They might be nice to reuse for other apps!
