History

The emulation of the Arcadia 2001 is not very clear and hasn't been documented before. The only two working emulators are WinArcadia and MESS, and both of them are multi-emulators, which means that the Arcadia 2001 wasn't the major goal of the emulators, but just a system upon a hundred other that these emulators are capable of emulating and a very good accuracy. The emulator WinArcadia probably started in 2006 (The official website of the emulator was started in that year), but it is not known whether the emulator was capable of emulating the Arcadia 2001 system upon release or that feature was added later.

Issues

Probably the biggest issue is that this system didn't grab attention because of the very limited games it has and that it was discontinued only 18 months after it was released in 1982, so developers aren't giving it any significant attention.
