This is the 2nd video in my new series\u00a0where I am going to work through the steps required to make a homebrew game for a retro 8-bit console or computer system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each episode, I will work through various topics, such as tools, methods and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, I cover setting up the emulator we will be using for the series, BlueMSX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BlueMSX emulator can be downloaded from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– http:\/\/www.bluemsx.com<\/a> and then going to the downloads page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have made a ColecoVision ROM template, which comes with some symbol files for the debugger. You can download them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want some more ColecoVision ROMs to play with in the emulator, there are a number of homebrew games that have been released for download from Team Pixelboy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to go to the Atari Age<\/a> website, and you will need to register if you are not already a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you are interested in the alternative emulator mentioned, OpenMSX, you can find out more about it at the official website here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
