<h1>openMSX Manuals</h1>

<p>

The openMSX documentation is split into a number of separate documents,

each with their own purpose and intended audience.

</p>

<dl>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="compile.html">Compilation Guide</a></dt>

<dd>

This guide describes how you can get the openMSX sources and compile them.

If you downloaded a binary release, you can skip this.

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="setup.html">Setup Guide</a></dt>

<dd>

This guide describes how you can configure openMSX

to emulate actual MSX machines.

It also describes how you can have openMSX start up

with your personal settings,

how you can configure openMSX and your system for optimal performance

and several other configuration related topics.

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="user.html">User's Manual</a></dt>

<dd>

This manual describes all the things you can do with openMSX

once it is fully running.

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="faq.html">FAQ</a></dt>

<dd>

Answers some frequently asked questions. Of course you shouldn't have any, after reading the manuals...

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="commands.html">Console Command Reference</a></dt>

<dd>

An overview of all commands and settings that can be used from the openMSX

built in console. Check this if you want to know exactly how to control

openMSX. If you can't find a feature in the GUI, it may not mean it's not there

at all: perhaps we didn't have the GUI support it yet and is only be available

via the console.

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="diskmanipulator.html">Using Diskmanipulator</a></dt>

<dd>

The <code>diskmanipulator</code> command is so powerful that we made a separate

manual for it. Use it to create (hard)disk images, import files to them, export

files from them, etc. However, using it via the GUI is probably easier, you can find it under <span

class="menu-reference">Main menu bar &rarr; Tools &rarr; Disk Manipulator ...</span>.

</dd>

<dt class="toc"><a class="external" href="openmsx-control.html">Controlling openMSX from External Applications</a></dt>

<dd>

This is a guide for application developers who want to control openMSX from

their own programs. Very useful if you're planning to make a launcher, GUI,

debugger or another kind of external program that needs to control openMSX.
