아이폰 유일의 msx앱이고(레트로아크로 실행은 가능하지만 불안정하고 무료앱이라 업데이트가 안됨)

아직 완벽하지는 않지만 초기의 문제점 및 보완 사항을 피드백 했을때 제작자님이 바로 수정 보완 업데이트 해줘서 믿음이 가며 앞으로도 꾸준히 발전할 앱이라 믿어 의심치 않습니다. msx 의 추억이 있고 그 추억을 다시 경험하고 싶은분이라면 필구앱이라 생각합니다.

買ってはいけません。

ご購入いただきありがとうございます。 何も動作しないとのことですが、具体的にどのような問題が発生していますか?また、どのゲームで問題が発生しているか教えていただけますでしょうか? もし問題が解決しない場合は、詳しい状況を e7company@gmail.com までメールでお送りください。できる限り対応いたします。 なお、iMSX2 は .rom、.mx1、.mx2、.dsk 形式のゲームに対応しています。 また、画面上部のリストから MSXのモードを変更して試してみることもできます。それでも動作しない場合は、実機のBIOSを追加して試してみてください。 ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。問題の詳細を教えていただければ、原因を確認したいと思います。

Metal Gear 2 solid snake not working

Hello, I paid for this app exclusively to try and use metal gear two solid snake, it is not working, the first metal gear does, 2 does not

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for your support and for letting me know. I'm happy to say that starting with iMSX2 version 2.0, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is now fully playable. This was one of the main improvements in the latest update. Please update iMSX2 to version 2.0 from the App Store and give it another try. I hope you enjoy the game, and thanks again for your support!

Está muy bien

Se puede mejorar pero me gusta mucho, el esfuerzo merece 5*

Great support for MSX, but....

The best support I have found for MSX. The interface is clean and user friendly. My one issue is the touchscreen d-pad. Something is off to where you cannot make multiple fast inputs. It registers one click immediately but not the next. I found it unplayable with the touchscreen but fared better with a controller.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I honestly hadn’t noticed that specific behavior with the touchscreen D-pad before, so thanks for pointing it out. I’ll definitely take a closer look at it and try to fix or improve it in a future update. Comments like yours are extremely helpful and really motivate me to keep improving the emulator, so thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
