MB Microvision System Added & Other MAME Updates

[Hot Trout]

Nice update this time. A new manufacturer and system added to the database. The Milton Bradley Microvision was an early handheld game with interchangeable cartridges. In was released in 1979 and was designed by Jay Smith who created the Vectrex. It lasted until just 1981 however, according to Satoru Okada it gave birth to the Nintendo Game & Watch as Nintendo designed around the Microvision's limitations at the time.

A great addition to the site we have all available roms at this stage.

Also this week we have updated MAME to 0.183 both on ROM's and also CHD's.

Enjoy.

Actual thanks needs to go to the user called ThisAccountIsNew, he/she added the link for me to be able to download and update. It is a great little addition.

It's wonderful to finally see a Microvision emulator. I have the full US set of games CIB with several systems but only 2 have working screens. The rest of the systems have succumbed to LCD screen rot and there is no replacement screen or solution available. The screen rot is inevitable because of the way the screens were manufactured, so it is only a matter of time before those last 2 systems are unplayable. Without emulators, that system will be soon be lost to history...

Totally agree which is why I don't understand the companies going after ROM sites. In the not too distant future they will wish they had left us to do our job.

Thanks for the update HT. Is there any plans in the works for a newer CHD full package? Or maybe across 10-20 zip files?
Last time one was done was 28 versions ago-.155) TIA.
