History
The history of the Arcadia 2001 emulators is very foggy and hasn't been documented clearly before.
In 1998, Emerson Arcadia 2001 Emulator by Paul Robson was the first Arcadia 2001 emulator[1].
Emulator2001 seems to have been developed by Gavin Turner about 2005[2].
WinArcadia probably started in 2006/2007.[3] It is the Windows backport of AmiArcadia, which is the enhanced official Amiga port of Emulator2001[4]. It was written by James Jacobs and Gavin Turner, but the original author (Turner) is no more credited.
WinArcadia emulates the Emerson Arcadia 2001 family of consoles (Bandai, Emerson, Grandstand, Hanimex, Intervision, Leisure-Vision, Leonardo, MPT-03, Ormatu, Palladium, Poppy, Robdajet, Rowtron, Tele-Fever, Tempest, Tryom, Tunix, etc.).
WinArcadia and MESS are multi-emulators, which means that the Arcadia 2001 wasn't their major goal, but simply just a system upon a hundred other system these emulators are capable of emulating, and at very good accuracy. The emulator
