About WebMSX
WebMSX emulates MSX home computers inside a web page. It loads cartridge ROMs, disk images, hard disk images, tape images and save states, and it can detect the file type automatically. It also accepts a folder of files packed as a ZIP to place on a virtual disk.
The machine type, presets, media files and BASIC commands can be set through URL parameters or a configuration file, so a link can open a specific program. It suits people who want to try MSX software quickly without installing an emulator.
