==Emulation== {{Main|List of MSX emulators}} MSX computers are [[emulators|emulated]] on many platforms today. Early MSX emulators were often based on the code of the pioneer '''[[fMSX]]''', a portable MSX emulator by Marat Fayzullin. Many emulators removed Fayzullin's Z80 emulation code entirely in later versions to avoid legal problems, as at the time fMSX was not [[free software]]. Somewhat later fMSX [[source code]] became free for non-profit use; however a license was still required for commercial use. On December 31, 2013, the Windows version of fMSX 3.7 was released, free for anyone to use.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-12-31 |title=fMSX: Portable MSX Emulator |url=http://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301230902/http://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/ |archive-date=March 1, 2012 |access-date=2014-03-31 |publisher=Fms.komkon.org}}</ref> The official MSX emulator MSXPLAYer {{in lang|ja}} is produced by the MSX Association, of which the inventor of the MSX standard, [[Kazuhiko Nishi]], is the president. As of version 0.146.u, [[MESS]] currently supports 90% of all MSX versions. ===Virtual Console=== In February 2007, [[Nintendo|Nintendo of Japan]] announced that MSX games will be available for the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] emulator. It was confirmed that the games would cost 700 [[Wii Points]] and will become available from the middle of 2007. It also became available for the [[Wii U]] on December 25, 2013. Ultimately 13 games, mainly Konami titles, for the Wii, plus one for the Wii U, were released for the service in Japan only. ===List of MSX emulators=== {{sort-under}} {| class="wikitable sortable sort-under" style="width:100%" |- !
