fMSX is an emulator made by Marat Fayzullin. It is not open source and don't let commercial use of it but it is easy to port to many devices. So respect his license condition.
You can get all information about it at:
- You will need ps4sdk fork branch firmware505 and liborbis from my own repository
Follow steps in readme
git clone https://github.com/orbisdev/liborbis
- Compile fmsx
git clone https://github.com/psxdev/fmsx
cd fmsx
make
copy bin/msxorbis.elf to ps4sh/bin folder or where you are executing ps4sh binary
- You will need ps4sh because all is loaded from host using IV0002-NPXS29041_00-MSXORBIS00000000.pkg look for it or make your own using code from https://gist.github.com/psxdev/a7cf37729986039a2283c00aa454ebb8
If you have a folder where ps4sh binary is located, please create there:
mkdir system
mkdir GAMES
