Comment on The MSXBOOK Is A New Laptop Based On The Japanese Home Computer Standard | Time Extension
9point6@lemmy.world 1 day agoColeco were more early 80s machines and I think MSX was more late 80s
Though you got me curious, so looking into it just now, they all use Z80 processors apparently! Which I guess is unsurprising given how successful it was in consoles in the 80s.
On the face of things, it looks like MSX has a bit more in the graphic capabilities department, but that’s just me looking at a handful of screenshots, so take that with a pinch of salt

I think the association came from emulation. IIRC, you can sometimes play Colecovision ROMS with the MSX emulator in RetroArch, although it’s been a while since I dealt with this.

It is common to use the
bluemsxcore for ColecoVision emulation. As well as MSX, that core can also emulate the Sega SG-1000.Having said that, we use the
fmsxcore for MSX/2 emulation, andgearsystemfor the SG-1000.
