Does anyone know of any Matel Microvision emus? From my searches all I've been able to find is an incomplete simulator.

There's a simulator project here:

But it can be only played online I think and it's pretty rough.

Problem with emulating this system is that the microcontrollers and memory chips were on the cartridges so they could vary from game to game. Basically you'd need to write an emulator per cart. That's why the best you can get is probably a simulator.

Paul Robson wrote a working emulator since quite a while back when Sean and ketvris finally managed to dump the Microvision roms. It has some quirks like not being able to resize the window, but emulation wise works fine.

its marked not working in MESS 156 but seems to be playable. Had to fiddle a bit with the graphics settings like bilinenar filtering off and brightness to 60

MESS driver still has a few bugs that were fixed in Paul's emulator, unless someone updated the driver recently. I know there has been a lot of progress dumping TMS-09* and TMS-1* stuff and into their respective drivers so it's possible.
