Maybe eventually. But probably not for another 6-12 months at the very least.
No worries. Good Luck.
I've been wondering about that for a while as well. MSX would certainly do a great addition as a core.
When the time comes, maybe port either openMSX or blueMSX over? Since they're both open source projects with high compatibility.
We have all the components to get a MSX core up and running . It’s just a matter of stitching all the infrastructure stuff together. This would be a good way for someone to learn how BizHawk works while developing something new at the same time , but so far no one has been quite interested enough to do it .
Its on my list of things todo if/when I finish CPCHawk. By then (as you say) we already have the components in other cores to reuse (for MSX 1 and 2 anyway, the TurboR (and on the 2+ optionally) has an additional YM2413 sound chip that we would need to emulate from scratch I think).

There is now a functional MSX 1 core in BizHawk. It only run cartridge games for now. It can be upgraded to disk games and MSX 2 with some work, Probably a stretch to add 2+ or Super R. in the long run not sure whether its better to work on the in house core or port something over, probably depends on interest level.
I want to request a MSX emulation because is good. It will be possible? All the No-Intro Sets less the newest Nintendo generation because it's too big for now deserves a good place. Thank you.
