blueMSX now support external rom / dsk / cas database and a cheat database which will be updated from time to time without waiting for new version of the emulator. The advantage of the external databases is that user are not limited to default data but capable of adding custom roms & new dump. User also have freedom to add/ rename/ delete datas for organizing purpose.
The databases are maintained by Benoit Delvaux , so if you have any questions & suggestion, please contact Benoit!
Rom/dsk/cas database - This database is now available in one archive. Contains MSX / SVI / Coleco / SG-1000 / SC-3000 / SF-7000 database. (possibly the biggest rom database in MSX!)
Cheat database - The cheat database includes mainly cheats for MSX games at the moment. There are also some cheats for Coleco, SG-1000 and SVI games.

Our favorite theme DIGIblue v2 is back, an another revival from the past. Actually it was a request from the user who apparently liked this theme. This theme will work with the latest blueMSX theme specification. Also the colours are adapted so it utilize less memory then the previous version. (So it's not just an XML adaptation.)

Our friend, user & developer Sam Elsharif has created this nifty launcher called blueMSX Launcher. This is the first dedicated launcher only for blueMSX and it works beautifully. You just need to pre-define a software but once you've have done that, it will be the quickest way to boot up your favorite games and programs. (Setting up the launcher is also very simple & easy!)

We feel fortunate to be able to introduce and share this application with our users. (thanks Sam & nice work!)
