      I have pre-sorted the list of handheld gaming systems in MAME (excepted Tiger Handheld and Game & Watch). I have not tested any system. I have sorted them by distributors for those who want to create new systems on their Pi and I have indicated those who had Artwork. I discarded those that seemed difficult to play on a Pi. Please feel free to comment on your gaming experience, which ones work or not and if I forgot systems.

      For systems pictures see with a MAME name in the search tool here

        It works well for Konami and Game & Watch too.

        Finally, I created 7 systems:

        • Konami Handheld
        • Game & Watch (with madrigal and MAME romset (including Elektronika))
        • Tiger Handheld
        • Tiger R-Zone
        • Classic Handheld systems (non-game & watch from madrigal and all other manufacturers in the MAME romset such as Coleco, Entex, etc.)
        • All in one Handheld and Plug & Play console (MAME functional systems : M505NEO,mc_tv200, njp60in1, sy888b, sy889, DGUN2573, rminitv, unk1682, ii32in1, ii8in, intact89, intg5410, miwi2_7, zone7in1 -------> Note: Some of those need to be set with frameskip = Auto , some systems have imperfect sound and have problems with main screen, but games are ok most of the time. The first five "All in one handheld consoles" have the best performances)

        IMPORTANT (for LCD systems ) : By default, they run at 33 FPS. Frameskip must be set at : Auto (set it with F8 and F9). Those games didn't have a big number of images per second on there original format, so frameskip = Auto doesn't affect the playability and recreate the real gaming experience.

          If I forgot some handheld All in 1 consoles from the 0.225 MAME Romset, feel free to share It. For Mame driver and comments, see here . Just with this driver (nes_vt.cpp), they propose 103 All in One mini arcades . Still a lot of testing to do! Some other drivers are vt_unknown.cpp, vt1682.cpp, spg2xx_zone_32bit.cpp and all spg2.... .cpp . The tests are finished. It took me a long time but I think it might interest a few people and it makes another system or category to create in retropie. These roms are smalls and contain some good games.

            I finally created a seventh system with MAME ROMs called JAKKS Pacific TV Games. There are some great games with this system and most ROMs work well.

              It's also the very first game on ablmini. Pretty interesting clone or hack. Keep up the good work, you're giving me a lot more stuff to add to my RetroPie and I love it.

                Thanks for your support. Same with me, I discovered new stuffs to add to my Pi and I like that. MAME romset is like a flea market where you can find unsuspected treasures! Games just need to be tested and organized properly to be presented as a system on Pi. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it.
                Note: For "All in one Handheld and Plug & Play consoles " , I added hyperlinks pointed on pictures of the consoles.

                  @DTEAM FYI, MAME 0.226 just released with support for more vt nes X in one consoles and more handheld stuff.

                    Thanks! I'll take a look on that. xavix.cpp seems to be another driver to watch. See this game sample It's "Bandai - Let's! TV Play Classic" and they have more from EPOCH . I'll dig It more.

                    Another question, who adds the systems in the generic Retropie theme "carbon"? Konami Handheld games, Tiger Electronics Handheld games, Tiger Electronics R-Zone, Classic Handheld games, All in one handheld and plug & play consoles and JAKKS Pacific TV Games maybe could be added someday.

                    By the way, all that represent another big "game scraping" challenge... again LOL.

                      @DTEAM Are these running on lr-mame as well or only or mame standalone?

                        only mame standalone. You can use binary precombiled in experimental menu.
                        Note: With mame romset , you have access to almost the entire Nintendo Game & Watch collection (52 games) including Zelda . Those roms starts by gnw_xxxx.7z (example.: gnw_zelda.7z or .zip)

                          These work in lr-mame as well for the most part. lr-mess/lr-mame is up to v0.225 right now.

                            Anyone can submit a PR to the Carbon theme Github repository - https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon. For scraping, support has to be added to either the EmulationStation scraper (must be supported by the scraping source) or one of the external scrapers (Skyscraper, Selph's Scraper).

                              @zerojay Watch Mario10 on sy889 (game 5). This is one of the weirdest version I've seen. It's a Hack of Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu with Mario.

                              I am working to create my own XMLs for all these systems (including All in one Handheld and Plug & Play). I am not an expert in .png artwork but I put transparent backgrounds and I think it's a good B Plan for now for All in One Handheld and Plug & Play . I built XMLs with informations from Fandom and video packs, logos packs and console packs from emumovies.com or Google for the other systems.

                              Ex: Konami Handheld
                              https://emumovies.com/files/file/4213-konami-handheld-electronic-units-pack/
                              https://emumovies.com/files/file/4221-konami-handheld-electronics-video-snaps-pack/
                              https://emumovies.com/files/file/4217-konami-handheld-electronics-game-logos-pack/
                              Description example: https://contra.fandom.com/wiki/Contra_(LCD_game)
                              MAME artwork (Konami Handheld, Game&Watch, Tiger Handheld and more...)

                              When It'll done, I'll put all this on the net for 30 days (Google drive) with my modified Cygnus themes which has around 100 systems and the scrapes I made for systems not covered by Screenscraper and others. I have built .XMLs for a lot of systems in Lr-Mess like Gamate or GameMaster.

                                I am working to create my own XMLs for all these systems (including All in one Handheld and Plug & Play). I am not an expert in .png artwork but I put transparent backgrounds and I think it's a good B Plan for now for All in One Handheld and Plug & Play . I built XMLs with informations from http://adb.arcadeitalia.net and video packs, logos packs and console packs from emumovies.com or Google for the other systems.

                                Ex: Konami Handheld

                                https://emumovies.com/files/file/4221-konami-handheld-electronics-video-snaps-pack/
                                https://emumovies.com/files/file/4217-konami-handheld-electronics-game-logos-pack/
                                MAME artwork (Konami Handheld, Game&Watch, Tiger Handheld and more...)

                                When It'll done, I'll put all this on the net for 30 days (Google drive) with my modified Cygnus themes which has around 100 systems and the scrapes I made for systems not covered by Screenscraper and others. I have built .XMLs for a lot of systems in Lr-Mess like Gamate or GameMaster.

                                Very, very interested in all this. Let us know as soon as it's ready.

                                  I still have a lot of work to do on that. Maybe in a month.

                                    @DTEAM Hi DTEAM. I'm struggling a bit getting any of these handhelds to run in lr-mame or standalone mame. I read through this entire post and I'm still not "getting it".

                                    Would it be possible for you to document a walkthrough for dummies (i.e. me) of the process you did to get it running? Folders, config changes, file and config locations, runcommand, etc? I think I just need a few short paragraphs to get me over the finish line...

                                      Sure, just give me some time to create the tutorial. It will be in another post.

                                          These work in lr-mame as well for the most part. lr-mess/lr-mame is up to v0.225 right now.

                                          I installed lr-mame (0.225) over the weekend and it's like 0.224. It just works for arcade games. Is there anything special that needs to be done to make this work with lr-mame 0.225 (from source).

                                          Currently, only mame standalone works for me.

                                            Absolutely nothing. Both lr-mame and lr-mess work for everything here for me. I didn't do anything special but compile and install them.
