openMSX is one the most advanced emulators of MSX, an 8-bit home computer system from the 80’s for which many great games exist. Compared to the preview version, this version starts up much quicker, has a more responsive and better designed OSD menu and has a virtual keyboard.

Release notes:

This release builds on the previous one, in the sense that we worked out the features a little more. We added a lot of scripts to help you with Tool Assisted Speedruns (TAS), one of the reasons openMSX got officially approved as a TAS capable emulator on TASvideos.org. The reverse feature also got some updates while doing this. For the rest, this release does a lot of smaller fixes and additions.

Pan is a Usenet newsreader that’s good at both text and binaries. It supports offline reading, scoring and killfiles, yEnc, NZB, and multiserver. It’s also the only Unix newsreader to get a perfect score on the Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval evaluations.

GQview is an image viewer, that makes navigation of images easy. Images can be viewed full screen, and a slide show function allows automatic changing of the displayed image. GQview is an image manager, with complete copy, move, rename, and delete functions available at the press of a button. Find the right image with the search feature. Image collectors can free up space with a function that finds duplicate images. The one thing GQview is not, and never be, is an image editor. However, GQview paired with an image editor, such as the Gimp, can be a very powerful combination.
