WARNING: the SELECT and START buttons were inverted in this release, as it was confusing for users, now START starts/turn on device, and SELECT exits.

This is a generic engine for simulation of Game & Watch-like games, created by Hitnrun, starting with ports of the Madrigal Game & Watch Simulators (http://www.madrigaldesign.it/sim/), with permission. It is designed to run anywhere SDL is available, with emphasis in handheld machines.

As for the Madrigal simulators, the simulation is aimed to be as close as possible to the real machine, simulating on-off, ACL mode, time modes, etc. Alarm and chrono modes only display default data, as there is not enough motivation for its simulation. Currently missing but in the TODO list is hiscore keeping.

For the 0.2 version, there are 3 ports: "Time & Fun - Monkey", "Time & Fun - Pirate", and "Time & Fun - Defendo". All these games use the same engine, with different graphics.

While the archive isn't updated, grab it from my site or sourceforge.

I haven't tried it but looks good and the Idea is great. I know these little LCD Games from ages ago. Is the typical LCD Sprite-Shadow also simulated? ^_^
 
This is amazing, a program that does for LCD games what MAME does for arcade cabinets! I tried the first version and liked it a lot, I'm glad you continued the work and added more games! Cheers :)

I wish I still had my LCD games from when I was little, there was a real cool one where you bombed tanks before they fired at you...
