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 probably the first Arcadia 2001 emulator<ref>https://www.gamefaqs.com/a2k1/916364-arcadia-2001/faqs/2628</ref>. Emulator2001 seems to have been developed by Gavin Turner about 2005<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20051026150459/http://www.gstsoftware.co.nz/</ref>.
Tunix2001 WinArcadia (based on Emulator2001<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130801182925/http://www.gstsoftware.co.nz/</ref>, and seems to have been developed by Gavin Turner about 2006not credit the original author) probably started in 2007<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/</ref> (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.
[[WinArcadia]] (ex-Tunix2001) 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 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.
