JungleTac Sport Vii setup for RetroArch (MAME-current core)
I'm trying something new with "savestate_auto_load" feature.
All Multicarts have been split into individual games using Save Sate Auto Load
All settings in "HASH - CFG - Controls.zip"
I have created individual game .opt files because identical settings must be used to load my autosaves.
Someone please let me know if all this works on their setup. If so I can do more of these types of setups in the future.
Instructions:
Paste all folders into main RetroArch dir and merge:
RetroArch Options:
RetroArch\config\mame_libretro.cfg
RetroArch Game Options:
RetroArch\config\MAME
RetroArch Game Remaps:
RetroArch\config\remaps\MAME
MAME CFG path:
RetroArch\saves\mame\cfg\vii.cfg
RetroArch Game Auto Load States:
RetroArch\states
Hash path:
RetroArch\system\mame\hash\vii.xml
-------------------------------
Setup uses auto load states for multicart individual games
must have line:
savestate_auto_load = "true"
in either mame_libretro.cfg or retroarch.cfg
RetroArch Module additions:
MSystem := "JungleTac Sport Vii"
mTypeVar:= JungleTac Sport Vii|LibRetro_SPORTV|mame_libretro|vii

Xbox 360 (Xinput) controls:
X or L1 = Button A

Takara e-pitch (2000-2004), a plug and play microphone (karaoke) console with (game?) cartridges.
Part of the E-kara Plug and Play karaoke line, the E-Pitch, has an easier button layout for games and is best known for its Mermaid Melody PICHI PICHI PITCH role-playing games.
I assume.
There isn't much information to find.
I went through all 120 e-kara karaoke cartridges available in MAME Software List. I could only find these 9 (playable) games.
Most of them were released specifically for the E-Pitch and I don't know if E-Pitch and E-Kara cartridges were cross-compatible (in real-life, not MAME)
So, I thought it made more sense to call this system Takara E-Pitch.
I hope you all enjoy playing obscure singing mermaid karaoke role-playing games on your arcade cabinets!

Like Jakks Pacific but more educational and boring.
I had high hopes for the Spider-man game, but you go grocery shopping. Seriously, you play as Spider-man running around a grocery store trying to find cheese, milk and eggs!
Some kid probably cried when they got that as a birthday present.
I took the excellent work done by HOSCARCONH and I made a more "standard" setup
-Converted the naming convention of just numbers to actual game names
-Created Database with game names and genre info and made genre files
-Created text wheels in Photoshop with PICO-8 font
-Altered HOSCARCONH's default theme to match wheel
-Uploaded all renamed files and games (original files where just numbers)
-Included HOSCARCONH's main menu, bezel, and fade
Everything works great with Retroarch retro-8 alpha core
Look, I finally did something!!
Audio is still not emulated and it's not running at full speed. Still people want it, so here you go!
Scanning the IntelliCards (HyperScan playing cards) through Mame File Manager is very frustrating. MAME software list named each card with only a number. I renamed each card assuming they were numbered in correct sequence. For the most part it seems to be correct when selecting Character cards.
This system is barely playable. Even if the audio and speed issues were solved, the card scanning component will not work unless you can actually see the cards you are selecting.
Is it the worst console ever made? Possibly. But I still had fun making this setup!

This system was some unfinished business for me. A few months ago, I didn't understand how get these to launch properly. The solution is simple but confusing. Some JAKKS games are both standard MAME roms and Software List machine(bios) roms.
Setup is the usual process except the games must be in six separate folders, one for each different Game Key console.

I was working on better projects, but this system called to me.
I think I'm going insane because it literally called to me! I'm tired of playing Spongebob games! I feel like he is following me to every system. This time he is taunting me to play his horrible game.
I can clearly hear him say “I'm ready Yeti, Yeti!”
Watch the main video, its true! He wanted me to make this setup, he was waiting for me and ready to make me suffer!
If you want to play games that can easily be mapped to a controller, STAY AWAY!
This game requires a keyboard because it uses over 50 keys!
I had to shrink the screen-size and create a giant bezel displaying the key-mapping. Even then I could barely play it.
This is an example of emulation gone wrong.
Sure, the game is preserved and playable.
You can see the game, hear the game, and control the game but you can't experience it as intended.
With enough practice someone could get good enough at the keyboard controls to possibly enjoy the game. But, practicing on the keyboard will not help you learn the piano, it might have the opposite effect.
Emulating this system destroys its purpose to exist!

There are virtually no images to work with for this system.
I ended up using the title screen from First Flight to make my themes.
Most games have no logos or title screens, so I created almost all the wheels with pixel fonts and tried to color match them to each game.
I gathered everything so there are very basic demos mixed in but, some games are surprisingly fun and complex.
I strongly recommend Antcopter!
I may add to this in the future if there are more itch.io WASM-4 Game Jams.

I wanted to quickly make a system without too many steps... so made a system that's a stepping machine.😎
Another obscure and completely unnecessary system! Video games built into exercise/gym equipment.
Originally an unreleased arcade prototype (Last KM) by Gaelco in 1995. Two years later Salter/Gaelco produced a series of exercise (bikes and steppers) with built in games.
LG DIGITALezLG (MESEN Core)
A bundle of NES games released in some models of LG Electronics TVs around 2008. Most games are actually bootleg versions of popular NES games, with lots of aesthetic changes (and gameplay changes in some cases). There is an exclusive game: Quick Brain.
Games are played with the TV Remote and the controls seem a bit sluggish but to be fair, I'm sure it was on the original remote.
I've split up the multigame using duplicate roms and autoload save states. The select button has been disabled on each individual game so the main menu can't be accessed but the full compilation version is still accessible for the "authentic" experience.
An interesting obscure system but not the most justified to include since better versions of every game are on the NES.
Required: MAME 0.258 or newer
Watara TV-Link is not an independent system but an adapter for the Supervison to connect to a television. It's a good idea in theory and (possibly?) beat the Nintendo Super Gameboy to market but it doesn't really "enhance" the Supervision gaming experience.
Attempted enhancements include: removing LCD ghosting, increasing the resolution and size of the screen and adding color. That all sounds great but the "color" only being shades of blue makes the games very hard to see. Emulation of the Supervision has already corrected ghosting and the ability to play on a larger screen.
I do feel its justified to have this system since the color and resolution create a different experience (even though worse) it's still a somewhat significant piece of videogame history.
Emulation is still rough and most of the selection are homebrew titles but NUON is now playable enough to justify!
This is a combined effort with @brudibru (Media/Module/Bezel/Fade). Without his help, showing me current NUANCE compatibility and the homebrew games, I wouldn't have considered the system.
The existing module did not work well with homebrew games, so we are using a modified version of PC Launcher.
Freefall 3050 A.D. and Iron Solider 3 are still not playable.
