The V.Smile is a cartridge-based educational video game console created by VTech, and is aimed towards younger audiences. It had 3 major versions and 2 handheld versions, all of which are backwards and forwards compatible with each other minus some features being removed. Note: V.Smile Emulation is rather limited due to noncompatible MAME romsets for certain games.
