So I have an original 2 screen Game & Watch of Greenhouse. It's in terrible nick, but still works. I was wondering if there was someone I could send it to, to get the LCD scanned and the ROM dumped. As far as I can tell, this hasn't yet been done.
It'd be nice to get it back in one piece at the end, but if I don't, well, such is life.
SM510(pretty sure Green House has this MCU) with necessary pins exposed can be dumped electronically. This is the case for G&W games with SM510, they have a nice chip package instead of epoxy blob.

Cheers! I'll hold this one "in reserve" then. It's always fun thrashing the score my kids can get on this. Muscle memory still in place after 30 years.

Finally supported in working shape.

There's more where that came from, too. There's now a person right here in Sweden who's equipped to dump Game & Watch titles that don't need decapping, so as soon as I get paid I'm going to be sending over the dumpable ones that I have.

Yep. Kudos in arranging handheld organizational purchase effort in getting some of those saved in time since some of them probably won't be in working shape in a another decade or two.

Outstanding work by algestam to helping make the achievement possible along with contributors along the way.
Although my era of handheld games is the led versions of Mattel Electronics, I was curious what needed to be emulated with Nintendo G and W handhelds and why this post was updated along the way for last few years. This part of the preservation went on for about five years. Impressed with the efforts by the various folks involved in getting this just about completed.
Assuming Rik's web site has complete list of G&W handhelds, this is supposedly of what still remains although it may be off by a couple items and hard to say if any of the remaining entries will be searched for or worked on now that almost everything is completed.

Reason why doing updates is observing what else is left to do regarding the various lcd games that use same mcu hardware. I did an older post for Tiger games since there were non-stop loads of Tiger games being supported.
Aside from the non- Game & Watch hardware… (links below)
…the wanted list of G&W type hardware seems to be Tronica Goal Keeper and some remaining Elektronica G&W type hardware games. Fortunately most of the G&W type hardware games are now preserved.
Bassmate Computer (c)1984 Telko / Nintendo (Game & Watch related)
The Telko Bassmate Computer isn't a Game, but it was manufactured by Nintendo, and it's basically a Multi-Screen Game & Watch unit, using the exact same internal tech and style of case as found on many of the popular games. Thanks to Algestam for the emulation, Mr. Do for sourcing the unit, and DarthMarino for the artwork. -
....how about some brief background info of the product?
In 1984 a portable fishing computer was released with architecture based off of the Nintendo Game & Watch Handhelds. Check it out on this episode of Retro Game Attic!
There are three other game models shown below along with the already emulated version.

Looks good. Can you stomach being able to put up with doing artwork for another three of them down the road if any of the others are found later? *partly kidding*

I'm not sure if I'll have the motivation. This at least is part of Nintendo's history and a fun way to cap off the G&W project. The later units are similar so maybe something can be thrown together quickly.
I should also mention that I will have the artwork default with the Telko logo since that is apparently the company that worked with Nintendo to make this. They had a licensing deal with KMV and Probe 2000 (the unit being worked on now) so I'll have options with those logos available as well.

Don't worry... after this one, you're done.
The other three units are not produced by Nintendo, are powered by a completely different chipset, and have zero relation to G&W.
They are probably "some type" of dumpable thing that can be added to MAME, but it won't be related to G&W.
RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

If MCU is accessible/readable for the other three products, may it be nothing more complicated than a Sharp SM511 or Sharp SM512.
Aside from the Nintendo list, everything else was a hassle for Sean to put up with.
