Marat Fayzullin (http://fms.komkon.org/) has updated the Android port (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fms.fmsx) of his MSX (http://www.zock.com/8-Bit/D_MSX.HTML) emulator fMSX.

Quote:
I have been improving sound chip emulation in fMSX-Android 3.9 and just published the results of my work to the Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx.deluxe -- full version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx -- free version

This fMSX release has much, much better PSG sound emulation. The proper white noise emulation is back, and the channel volumes are now logarithmic. I have also fixed the amplitude envelope lengths and changed the way envelopes work. In addition to the sound, there are fixes to network play, virtual gamepad, and the File Selector. Starting with this version, fMSX-Android will also automatically open ROM files with .MX1/.MX2 extensions.


Majorly improved AY8910 PSG emulation.
Added support for .MX1/.MX2 ROM files.
Added "Settings" menu option to the File Selector.
Added "Tilt Joystick Blind Radius" setting.
Fixed directional pad activated by touching outside.
Fixed network play, previously broken for some users.
Fixed auxillary files display in the File Selector.
Set precise CPU, VDP, and PSG frequences.
Switched to table-based PSG envelopes.
Switched to logarithmic PSG volumes.
Fixed white noise frequency computation.
Adjusted noise to be 50% of the melodic volume.
Adjusted envelopes length.
Improved overall melodic audio quality.
