It is now April 3rd, 2025. While openMSX emulator is available from the official Fedora 41 repositories, the official RPM package does not contain any of the useful small tools found in the git master branch's Contrib directory.
That is why I decided to do git clone and package the latest snapshot of openMSX. I also found a ZIP archive that contains lots machines and extensions MSX system ROMs. To save you from the pain of trying to find these system ROMs yourself, I have a created a separate noarch RPM package that contains all the system ROMs that I found online. Note that I do not take any credit for dumping any of these files. All I am doing is redistributing these ROMs in an easy-to-install form for Fedora Linux.
Here are the RPMs for Fedora Linux 41. Make sure to get openmsx-system-roms-1.0-1.fc41.noarch.rpm too, it is essential for the openMSX emulator to work correctly when emulating various MSX models!
I installed the RPM packages using sudo rpm -Uvh <package> command directly, because I knew I already had all the library dependencies satisfied. But to pull in all dependencies, you should probably do:
After that you can verify that the Contrib tools are installed:
Have fun!
