When it comes to Japanese PC's the Sharp X68000 reigns supreme in retro gaming enthusiasts minds...but the MSX2 is a really fun retrogaming piece of hardware that runs PERFECTLY on MiSTer FPGA and you should def play it...so let me show you how!
Big thanks to Vampier for providing me some additional insight and captures as he is probably the biggest MSX 2 fan there is!

I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
On this episode of our MiSTer series we are going to be talking about MSX core for MiSTer FPGA. Technically it supports all MSX variants as there is the MSX, the MSX 2, the MSX2+....it really gets confusing as to how many variants there are of this pc gaming giant! But they all run in FPGA amazingly...so I will show you how to set it up and what games you should be playing including Castlevania, the original Metal Gear games BEFORE Metal Gear Solid on PS1, etc etc!
Questions? Comments? Just leave them below and I will do my best to answer each and every one of them!

Thank you for making this video. I always wanted to figure out how to setup the MSX core properly. Looking forward to playing this gem.
Always happy to make these. Enjoy playing it!
Thank you for making this, more MSX stuff please (and computer cores in general)
:)
Always happy to do it :)
The link you provided is not for sofarun. There's a massive gap of information that's missing here. The sofarun website has a zip file you can download, but the MSX core only reads .vhd files. But even when you mount a .vhd filethere' no command prompt. So, there's a giant gap of information missing between downloading the sofarun .zip file and somehow getting a command prompt on screen for the MSX core.
Great video, thank you. Is the core 240p only or do games run over a range of resolutions? Aleste 2 didn’t render on my 240p monitor but Castlevania (Vampire Killer) did.
Regarding Vampire Killer; it runs way too fast at the core/hd’s default speed, but even at normal speed it seems too fast. I know I need to read up on the core, but these are just two quick initial observations (haven’t tried this core before).
Depends on if you use analog or hdmi. But it’ll run at basically any output you pick
Great feature, because having owned an MSX and having a mate who had one back in the 80s, it's a computer that I really like and nostalgic for. I was wondering the VHD I've been using, not everything works, in MSX 1, Cassette /R-OMs. All the AAA "Kon-ami" games work fine though. For instance Boulder Dash on Cassette or R-OM you might get a title screen and then a black screen. Any work arounds for these? I did hear a stand-alone MSX1 core was being developed but have not heard any more about it? Thanks for featuring Vampire Killer on this too.
Also enable 50hz in the settings, for the people like me who grew up in the UK and had the PAL Toshiba HX-10. It will make Nemesis run at the "correct" speed !? Nemesis cheat - press F1 and type HYPER for full power up :)
There does seem to be a lot of nostalgia for MSX
Big reason I got a mister was for the MSX core .. can’t believe you didn’t feature snatcher SD on the vid .. and yes AMIGA please
Snatcher SD threw a copyright flag for music sadly
@@VideoGameEsoterica bogus !
Happens sometimes but I agree
Amiga please
Soon. Working on it. It’s taking a minute
Can't wait for the video on Amiga. I never have gotten into Amiga but it always looked to have some great games I would love to try out.
@@VideoGameEsoterica thanks! Appreciate all that you do for the community
Soon. I’ll aim for October
Awesome. Can’t wait to dive into this and Amiga once I get back from Oklahoma. Thank you so much for doing this 👍🏼👍🏼
OK, but how does somebody create a VHD image? Especially if they want translated versions of certain games (Hinotori, Ashguine 2, etc...)
just google "create VHD MSX 2" and you'll find it
Mister is my intro to the MSX. Now I don’t think I’ll buy one
No real reason to if you aren’t a completionist
Hi vge. The link below goes to users page, not one item. Also when I run the msx core, I don't get sofarun, just a black screen. is there any step by step msx core guide anywhere?
got it now. all set
👍
Nice video! Thanks VGE!
Thanks for the help my Budget Dracula friend
😍
:)
What are the differences from the regural and the free trial one
Sorry not sure what you are asking?
How do you enable scrolling in Castlevania
Pan your head left and right
scrolling is probably the weakest part of msx gaming
lots of choppy scrolling and single-screen games
but some developers managed smooth scrolling
Yes it’s the weakness for sure technically
Looking forward to trying this tonight.
Enjoy it :) it’s a ton of fun
This is amazing, well done to all who got this together
It’s legit for sure
Great. I wonder if a new vhd with more games has been released.
I’m not sure. I’ll look into it
@@VideoGameEsoterica Actually what I'm most worried about is if there are other vhd that don't require file extraction because it takes a long time to unzip some roms.
Is there going to be a guide for the PC-88?
Maybe at some point. More than likely
I'm not all that familiar with MSX. I have the MSX collection for the Sega Saturn
Easy way to get familiar with it now that it’s on MiSTer!
the core gives a nice taste of msx gaming, but people will never get to play with all the insane add-ons made for the actual computers
beyond flash carts, you have carts that allow audio playback from more advanced systems like neo geo
plus a massive cart that allows you to play sms games with fm sound intact
you can get slot expanders to allow more carts to be inserted at one time
some software even supports midi music using external modules like the mt-32
part of the joy of msx is seeing all the hardware variations, with the "turbo r" being the pinnacle
Yes those will be missing but this allows most people to experience 95% of what the MSX was
The Discord is lovely, especially if you like Paddles and Light Guns (which I do). Thank you for making this!
Always happy to make these!
Do you recall the title of the Bomberman RPG game featured towards the end?
I have to look again. Someone else asked me that
@@VideoGameEsoterica I found it after rummaging through the library! They categorized it in a diff folder!
@@VideoGameEsoterica thanks for the MSX update on Mister! Had no idea the menu was so clean in the latest revision!
Ahh that makes sense
I downloaded the VHD but Aleste and Castlevania isn't on it.
Odd. Should have been
@@VideoGameEsoterica my mistake it's in msx2 folder!
Ahh that makes sense. I was gonna say…it was there for me. Glad you found it!
What's the title of that Bomberman RPG? I found three Bomberman games for the MSX and none of them seem to be the one.
I’ll have to check my capture. It was some Japanese name
What a coincidence, I only just learned to set it up yesterday.
what took you so long? :D
Haha that’s bad timing
Right? Lazy 😂
@@Vampier Honestly, I wasn't so interested, but after seeing Pleasure Hearts and Space Manbow I thought I REALLY needed to try it out.
The sound is one of the best experiences of the MSX.
It does have really good audio
if you want some badass music, check the "demo" rom of metal gear 2
Good to know
Is there any way to map keyboard key to a game controller for this core? I tried to start up Metal Gear 2, and I noticed that game requires keyboard keys to open the menus in the game to change equipment and save.
There may be. I’ll look into it
@@VideoGameEsoterica Thanks! I also asked about it in the help thread on the Discord.
Can the mister do win 95 cores with any amount of success? I have always wanted to play Sierra Trophy Bass 2 working on modern hardware, but have never been able😢
doable with the AO486 core!
100%
It works. I haven’t tested it much
Thank you for the excellent setup guide
Glad it helped!
Do you know how to swap disks or cassettes on the msx core?
Let me look into it. Can’t remember as it’s been a minute
Google “mister MSX change disc”….it’s a keyboard command with F7. It’s in top results
@@VideoGameEsoterica ok thx. I have trying all day to figure it out. Sorry.
No worries. I am happy to help when I can
would truly love to see an Amiga setup guide from you if possible.. I've tried a few others guides and can never seem to boot correctly.. you seem to always explain the process perfectly. TY for the great wrk!
I will do it in Octobe/November!
my Japanese PC Fetish for whatever reason does no include the MSX.
My holy grail is an X68000 I know it has an Mister core and I'm all about is especially considering I'll probably be unable to get the x68 mini.
Yeah I also want an X68000 but I won’t spend the $$. Especially with FPGA being so good
Yeah it's more a Japanese Holy Trinity. X68, FM Towns and a PC 98. I probably have the best chance at a pc 98.
@@PopeTheRevXXVIII
pc-98 is the choice of perverts ;)
@@ynotwalk7391 if it's a Japanese pc chances are there's Anime smut on it
Haha
What is the shooter @ 5:00? Thanks VGE and the Mister community - God bless
Ah Space Mambo. Cool, will check this core out
You are welcome
I may have forgotten the game list in the video description but glad you figured it out!
Thanks for this! This core was on my short list to take a crack into.
Glad to do it. Enjoy it when you get around to checking it out
Nice 👍
Thanks!
Thank you for making this! I was messing around with the computers out of curiosity and they're a bit obtuse to use.
Happy to do it and hope it helps :)
I def wanna see Amiga too. I can’t manage to get it working
That seems to be a core people have trouble with. I’ll get a guide done soon
