DU: Nostalgia handhelds update
#374150 - 02/26/18 10:08 PM


A while ago Mr. Do sent us all 4 Let's! TV Play Classic handhelds and Sean Riddle has figured out how to dump them so they will probably be playable in MAME in a couple of weeks.

I'm not promising they'll be playable any time soon. I'm looking at them, it's far from an easy task.

some of the XaviX games are close to being playable, others crash, it's going to take a LOT of debugging to work out why, it's basically like emulating a console that sits somewhere between the 8-bit consoles and 16-bit consoles from scratch with no documentation knowing that the CPU has customized opcodes.

Well least those get added. Down the road someone just might get those fully working. Even if it over 5 years later.

"Make it so number one." ST:NG Picard's occasional response to Will Riker on tv series.
