This page covers everything that ==[[Game & Watch]]==Developed by game designer Gunpei Yokoi, a series of standalone handheld LCD games from Nintendo made that isn't related , the first of which was released on 28 April 1980 and is often considered the forerunner of the Game Boy/Color, although new Game & Watch games were still as late as 1991. Instead of sending output to their main console businessan LCD display like most cartridge games, Game & Watch games (and most other handheld electronic games of the time) displayed graphics by lighting up pre-drawn LCD segments, like a pocket calculator.

==16mm / Film Electromechanical Games==
Electromechanical games that used pre-recorded film were the general public's first taste of video games, more then a few companies tried there hand at making these Proto Video Games including Nintendo. from 1973 to 1978, Nintendo made eight of them, they were all light gun games. Unfortunately most of these games are lost with only three of the films have being partially found, the rest are considered lost. These games can't emulated / simulated until at least one complete copy is made available to the public.

= Game & Watch =The '''[[wikipedia:Game & Watch|Game & Watch]]''' is a series of self-contained handheld LCD games by Nintendo where the first one was released on April 28, 1980, and which are often seen as the precursor to the [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]], although new Game & Watch games were still released as late as 1991. Despite their simplicity, Game & Watch handhelds were completely unemulated for a very long time due to a lack of information about their hardware and difficulties with dumping ROMs and accurately recreating graphics. After an [http://forums.bannister.org//ubbthreads.php?ubbSee also=showflat&Number=97003#Post97003 extensive reverse-engineering effort by several MAME developers], MAME became the first emulator to support many retro handheld electronic games, including Game & Watch systems. ==Emulators=={| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Platform(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|*[[libretro|Libretro Core]]! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre First and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</abbr>! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommendedsecond generations of video game consoles]]|-! colspan="7"|PC / x86|-|[[MAME]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[http://www.mamedev.org/release.html {{MAMEVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|[[DSP]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[https://github.com/leniad/dsp-emulator {{DSPVer}}]|{{✗}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗NEL}}|} ;'''[[MAME]]'''Category:It was officially the 1st Game & Watch emulator, with support for almost all games. It started to comprehensively cover the Game & Watch games from around just before mid-2017 (e.g. [https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.185 0.185Consoles|*] in May 2017) and emulated its first game in [https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.186 0.186]. Since July 9, 2020, MAME supports at least one version of each Game & Watch model.:* See [https[Category://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/hh_sm510.cpp MAME driver] which covers all of the Game & Watch series of games and those of a similar ilk from other companies running on the LCD game handhelds with Sharp SM5xx family of CPUs (SM5A/SM510/SM511/SM512) (Other companies that released similar games included Konami, Elektronika, [[Tiger_LCD_HandheldsHandheld consoles|Tiger Electronics]], Tronica and VTech).:* [http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?game_sourcefile=hh_sm510.cpp&arcade_only=0¤t_version=0 Arcade Italia's database] of compatibility records for games on MAME. ;'''DSP''':It was officially the 2nd Game & Watch emulator. Just before mid-June 2017, it also started to emulate a few notable Game & Watch "Thanks to MAME for the ROMs and the info." (as stated in the [https://github.com/leniad/dsp-emulator readme]). ===Emulation issues===Although Game & Watch emulation has recently become possible, it took quite a while to achieve due to the [http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=17884.msg259362#msg259362 lack of information] about the microcontrollers driving them and the high difficulty of dumping the ROM from a system. (To dump a game's ROM, the microcontroller often must be decapped, which is not only very costly and complicated but highly destructive to the system.) The lack of information on the Game & Watch's hardware leads to the false belief that it does not contain a CPU or ROM and therefore could not be emulated. Even though this was disproven after reverse engineering efforts of several MAME developers which led to support for all of the games. Emulation of the games had been progressing slowly due to the high amount of time and patience it takes to dump their ROMs and recreate their graphics. ===Graphics===Even when a Game & Watch game's ROM had been dumped, one of the biggest challenges with accurately emulating it was with how the Game & Watch displayed graphics. Rather than by sending output to an LCD display like most cartridge-based handhelds do, Game & Watch games (as well as most other handheld electronic games from the same time) displayed graphics by lighting up pre-drawn LCD segments, like a calculator. To recreate this as accurately as possible, MAME uses .SVG files traced from high-quality scans of the LCD screen, allowing graphics in supported Game & Watch games to be displayed crisply at any resolution without the loss of any detail. While this is the most accurate way to recreate the LCD graphics outside of obtaining the original art from Nintendo, it is a difficult and time-consuming process as not only does the LCD need to be scanned at a high resolution with all segments lit up to capture all of the graphics but the scans must be traced very carefully to faithfully recreate the original artwork. ===MAME Support=== {|class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed|+ style="background: #ECECEC;"|!
