Libretro is a simple but powerful development interface that allows for the easy creation of emulators, games and multimedia applications that can plug straight into any libretro-compatible frontend. This development interface is open to others so that they can run these pluggable emulator and game cores also in their own programs or devices. blueMSX is a cycle accurate emulator for MSX, MSX2, MSX2+, and MSX TurboR-based home computers as well as the ColecoVision and Sega SG-1000 video game systems.
