Poll: The next system to be added.

There are many NES-era consoles matching those restrictions - Commodore 64GS (modified
6502), Amstrad GX4000 (Z80A), Atari XEGS (6502C), Atari 5200 and 7800 (both are also 6502C-
based), Casio PV-1000 (Z80A), Sega SG-1000 and Othello Multivision (Z80), VTech CreatiVision (65C02), ColecoVision (Z80A), EPOCH Cassete Vision (6502A), BBC Bridge Companion (Z80), Bandai Supervision TV Jack 8000 (Z80 clone). A number of handheld ones, of course, like Watara Supervision (65C02). Also, you can take a look at some of the earlier ones, like Bally Professional Arcade / Astrocade (Z80). 64GS, GX4000 and XEGS, btw, don't have any good standalone emulators, only somehow emulated in C64/Amstrad CPC/Atari XE-XL emulators and MESS. Personally, I'd vote for XEGS

Sega 1 & 2, please.

After completing the Sega/Nintendo line, one might think about
other systems, otherwise it would become a MESS

Gameboy for the win!

I got some nasty ideas about the models and positioning of that little bastards:

Gameboy, the old one:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Gameboy.jpg/360px-Gameboy.jpg
No light, green background. Really huge.

Gameboy Pocket:

No light, grey background, smaller, A LOT.

Gameboy Light:

Unreleased in other countries than Japan, had an awesome blue-green-ish light behind the screen. the case is the same from the Gameboy Pocket but it Says: Light in the Gameboy part.

You could have these 3 bastards in a table, of course, trying to get the same original feeling.

Come on guys, there's a whole bunch of Game Boy emulators out there that run rather well. And isn't System 1 and 2 already playable in MAME? How about seeing some systems that don't have tons of emulation coverage? Fairchild Channel F, Any Atari system other than the 2600? Magic Engine hasn't been updated in a while and its costs money. Maybe add TurboDuo? Speaking of emulators that haven't been updated in a while the Intellivision could use some love. How about 3DO or CDI? Are those too modern?

Personally I would pick the Turbografx/PCEngine. I'd agree with the person who suggested CD-I though. We really don't have a good emulator for that at present at all. Of course, the research needed to get one working would be incredible.

If you do do Gameboy, I'd suggest making it able to use the recently dumped GBC boot ROM. It always seemed strange to me how no GBC emulator supported automatically detecting the palette used to colorize a GB game. When I heard that this ROM had only just been dumped I realized why.

Edit: Another idea might be to do System C-2, since that's Genesis-based.

I would love more obscure systems emulated, especially those that are already emulated but lack a decent up-to-date emulator that works well in Win7.
I think systems from the Sega Saturn, Playstation and N64 and newer, should be ignored. There are plenty of decent emulators for these systems out there, and I doubt there are many PCs capable of emulating these systems at the exact cycle level that Ralph strides for.

Colecovision
Intellivision
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Atari Lynx
Vectrex

Edit:
Just to keep within the rules of the thread, My vote goes to Atari Lynx.

PC Engine has already been done, MagicEngine has very high compatibility and probably why they haven't updated it, they don't need to.

There's a reason why No-One has bothered with the CD-i and that's because it's one of the worst consoles ever made, nearly all the games are rubbish. The only games? I can think of which were half decent were Dragon's Lair and Space Ace but even they had the original versions released on DVD/BluRay (plus they're on DAPHNE).

He hasn't finished his SNES emulation yet which i'm anxious to see.

(What's the point in doing Sega 1&2 ?, MAME have been doing that for years, I can't see the point of doing arcade emulation when MAME is the lead runner).

Would love to see competition from Retrocopy for that

Especially with the whole 3D room vibe.

I vote Gameboy

And if the gameboy will work, what about the Gameboy color, will that work to?

I'd say these systems, in no particular order:

- SNES

- Gameboy and Gameboy Color

- Sega32X

Why? To keep the Nintendo vs. Sega theme. If all these systems are eventually emulated RetroCopy would be able to emulate both Sega and Nintendo's 8 bit, 8 bit portable and 16 bits consoles.

I know there are many other great emulators for these systems, but I think it's still soon to jump to consoles from other manufactures, such as the TurboGrafx 16. As I see it, it's a matter of focus.
