My wife had this console as a kid (the Leisure Vision version here in Canada). What would be the odds on getting this console made into a core?

Looks like my friend Grabulosaure has been working on it.

UPDATE: After playing around with it, it looks like it's almost there. Joystick mappings seem a little wonky. But good progress overall!
Can't wait to see the final core.

And found the roms... https://archive.org/details/Emerson_Arc ... 2012_04_23

P.S. Showed my wife, and she remembers playing Baseball and Space Attack. Good memories there.

For Signetics 2650 stuff (Arcadia, Acetronic MPU & clones), this site is the most complete : http://amigan.yatho.com/

If you are looking for archaic game consoles, Fairchild "Channel F" is still missing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Channel_F
Games are ugly but it's historically significant because it was the first console with cartridges and a microprocessor (albeit a bit unusual one).
It shouldn't be too difficult to code it anyway.

Funny, I've still some of these consoles somewhere in my attic.

Cool! Thanks for the update!
My question is how much is needed to be done?

Sadly, Arcadia mode doesn't work over CRT. "Internton" does, but in Arcadia mode you can't even see the menu.

On my PAL Trinitron CRT The display in Interton mode is slightly cutoff. It would need some vertical position allignment.
In Arcadia mode I can see a display but it's flickering and is kind of in purple.

This one now live in Main as it's own core, thanks to Grabulosaure!

Got a problem with Arcadia core on CRT, and I tried two different monitors. The image is super distorted and I can't see anything, I'm wondering if there are specific settings to write in .ini

I've noticed some errors with a few games. Mobile Suit Gundam bugs out with graphical glitches and 3D Attack (dumped a year or two back) won't even load. I recognize no one is currently working on the core but I wanted to flag those are two games I noticed issues on that don't exist on the actual hardware or software emulation.
