Here is a beta of the Casio PV-1000 console core that I am working on.
Still needs some tweaking and polishing, like the video timing but for the most part, the whole library of games (all 13) load and seem playable.

Re: Casio PV-1000 Console Core
I am excited trying out this obscurity. What is the core name that should be used for the game directory? Does it require any boot rom?

Re: Casio PV-1000 Console Core
No boot rom needed
Game directory must be name as casio_pv-1000

Re: Casio PV-1000 Console Core
Great work! Really nice to be able to check this system out finally, I gave the library a quick run through and everything played fine for me without any issues. I did notice a few games had a blue border at the top and bottom, is that how those games are a bit like some SMS games?
Well done doing the NEC D65010G031 sound chip, we didn't have that one yet.

Re: Casio PV-1000 Console Core
Yeah the blue (or red border as in some other games) are actually on the top and bottom. Mame has them on the side to fit the 4:3 aspect and 256x192 resolution but then I saw videos of the actual console and noticed they were on the top and bottom.
I couldn't find any information on that chip, which actually handles the sound and video so based it on information from Mame, videos and brute force.

Re: Casio PV-1000 Console Core
As for additional menu items, there really isn't anything, system-wise, that is left. No joystick options, no peripherals not even Ntsc/Pal options. Maybe add back in the usual Wide/Normal screen option.
The biggest thing for me, is cleaning up the code. It's the equivalent of a prototype board with nothing but bodge wire and duct tape.
Once I get it to a state that is not too embarrassing, I will put it in Main.
