What's the best way to play MSX games?

[CaptainToad]

Like, is a CRT ideal or 4:3 LCD or modern monitor with a CRT filter? On original hardware or MisterFPGA with a keyboard? With a controller?

I've been playing MSX games on PC but IDK, it feels lacking. PC-88 games really benefit from being shown on a CRT because of the dithered colour blending they often employ, for instance.

I mean you said it yourself, if they benefit from being shown on a CRT then its the best choice. But before bying a bulky monitor/TV I'd try some good CRT filters that actually look close enough to a real deal, not just slap scanlines on top of your game.

Personal preference, but I'd rather run it in an emulator without any filters because I've never come across any that I liked. Originally made for crts, replicating real experience, whatever... if we're going through all of that, the "real" experience would be being born in Japan in the late 70s so you were old enough to actually and enjoy use one in its day.
