@FiXato can you recommend an MSX emulator on Linux? At which games or demos should I definitely have a look? I really like the MSX machines. Sounds like the super 8bit computer I have dreamed of in the early nineties. Unfortunately I did never own one...

@dubst3pp4 as a host of development builds for Windows, MacOS and Android of the #openMSX emulator, I'd suggest https://openmsx.org where you can get release builds and source archives, or https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX where you will find the source code.
For legal reasons it only comes with the #cbios BIOS ROMs, which should get you up and running with most cartridge images at least. For other machines and extensions, you will need to find and download the necessary ROMs to the systemroms folder.

@dubst3pp4 most Linux distributions will have some version of the #openMSX emulator in their package manager as well, though personally I would recommend building the most recent versions from Git.
If you need live assistance, there's #openMSX on freenode IRC.

@dubst3pp4 If you want to play #MSX games straight from your browser, you can also give https://www.file-hunter.com/MSX/ a go, which uses the #WebMSX embedded emulator.
If you want fairly recent MSX titles, check out the #msxdev competition: http://www.msxdev.org/ and in particular the archive of previous submissions: https://www.msx.org/news/en/msxdev-update-over-120-games-available-for-your-pleasure-and-more
