UPDATE:

I found this openmsx 0.13.0 https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86/games/o...
installed it using
upgradepkg --install-new openmsx-0.11.0-x86_64-1_slack.txz

installed successfully..but when I type openmsx on commandline it gives "exec format error"

I am runningSlackwareARM-15.0-k5.12.15-Sunvell69.img on MXQ PRO Allwinner H3 Android TV box

You will need an ARM build for the Allwinner H3, not sure if there is a prebuild version for AARCH64 Slackware out there. You can of course build it yourself from source or use a different distribution like Ubuntu. I believe in Ubuntu you can just get it from Canonical‘s repositories.

I don't know if flatpak works for ARM or if it's too slow but you could try to install it and then choose the openmsx flatpak package https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.openmsx.openMSX .

There is a debian distro called Beelink X2 but the problem is that I get kernel panic after each restart no matter what sd card I use.. I don't know how to build openmsx..any ideas or tutorial??

I downloaded Armbian OS for orange pi pc, and it worked, i succeeded in downloading openmsx, now the problem is that openmsx with scale 2x won't fill the screen, if I make it scale 3x, it will be slow..
