MSXlib

MSXlib is a set of assembly libraries to create MSX videogame cartridges.

MSXlib is BIOS-based, and it is divided in several libraries: MSX-related core, MSX-related optionals, games core, genre-specific (such as platformers), and generic game optionals. These libraries can be used incrementally, but are designed to work together.

The MSXlib Development Guide will help you start creating MSX videogame cartridges.
