Just a head's up that I'm working on adding this system to MAME

https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/3069

At the moment I've sorted out palette and memory issues, but there are graphical glitches I think due to the scanline IRQ issues that NewRisingSun2 discovered.

Nice :D I wonder if this means further VT03 and VT09 compatibility will be added to MAME as well.

Hopefully, a few people have developed a good base now, I might look at improving VTxx support in MAME (and possibly integrate my VT168 stuff too) if I'm able to find the time.

That's what made it look clean in my emulation. I also return to normal IRQ behavior once the 4bpp mode is turned off, to make the original Mapper 4 games on that multicart look right, though I don't know whether that is what the actual hardware of that handheld does.

It runs in EmuVT under the VT09 settings with some issues, otherwise you will need to build MAME from source, or wait for MAME 0.194 or NewRisingSun2's latest build of Nintendulator to be released.

It says www.touchgameplayer.com on the copyright screen for Contra? Did they add that in?

Yes, they have included their website into a number of games in many recent Famiclones, although their exact relationship to this product isn't known. I suspect they developed the software at least though.

It seems VRT must have fixed their sound hardware recently - I decapped the glob top inside and took a macro photo of the die, and it is indeed marked VRT. Still not sure what the part is, maybe a new part they haven't got on their website.
