Many thanks for these new consoles:

Bandai's Super Vision 8000
Nichibutsu's My Vision Game System

Very much appreciated!

They are obscure consoles and not a huge library but figured why not...
Hope you enjoy them

@Flandango,
Obscure consoles are very important to be preserved, so from my side, a huge thank thank you for them.
And a tons of thanks especially for the fact you revived a Japanese consoles.

I forgot to give instructions on how to create My Vision rom images.
I used roms from Mame Software Rom set but they come in split files (ex F1, F2, F3...)
They need to be merged/concatenated together, so in the example of Hanafuda
Using Dos/CMD:

copy /B f1 + /B f2 + /B f3 Hanafuda.bin

Using Linux/Mister:

cat f1 f2 f3 > Hanafuda.bin

copy /B f1+f2+f3 Hanafuda.bin is less typing

I agree. It preserves the console that were not big, but it's nice to play to see what it was.

has anyone got Othello on the Supervision 8000 to work? it appears to be frozen on the game settings screen on my end. It's the only game I couldn't start up.

Well...it's the only game, that I know of so far, that uses the Left Controller (Player 2) to do the menu select and start/stop game.
If you choose "Man Vs Computer"....it's Player 2 against the computer.
Going to have to add a "Swap Joysticks" option to the menu for just this case.
For the time being...if you have a second controller...plug it in as player 2 and use that.

Just pushed an update out which should help with Othello.
With controller swapped in menu, pushing down changes the menu option....pushing up toggles sound on/off, fire button or "Z" or "-"
on keyboard starts the game.

I can only find 4 nichibutsu roms? Anyone with more?

The Super Vision 8000 does not sync on a normal TV (at least for me). It looks to me like it adds scanlines (scandoubler?), so the resolution would be doubled. Just a guess.

It's an oversight on my end. I utilized the MC6847 written for arcade boards in mind mainly because it was a better fit for working with this core. Therefore it outputs a vga signal instead of a composite and switching it to composite mode...well it doesn't work.
As I get some free time, I'll look into implementing or modifying the MC6847 code used in the COCO2 which output composite just fine to work with this core.
