The SMS core is common to both the Arcade section and the Console section.
Is it the same for the Astrocade, or is there a separate arcade Astrocade core and console Astrocade core? The Astrocade is a system that I know very little about.

The Astrocade console is different from the Bally/Williams arcade boards of the time.

Thanks, maybe a different name could have been chosen for one of them to prevent confusion I guess, but too late now.

The Astrocade is an awesome console. Very underrated

I always thought it was the same chipset, just the arcade board had more RAM to utilize the higher resolution video mode.
I thought you could even scavenge custom chips between the two?
