Here's probably the quickest and most concise description of this obscure console:
http://darkwatcher.h...sole/sepoch.htm
So there's one emulator for this system, called escv (link needed, I think google will provide it).
But i have searched high and low... there are no roms available for this system anywhere! (Not in a Tosec set, not on a a single shady rom site, not even in the most gigantic torrent anywhere).
Anyone have any information of any kind on this system... or better yet, links to roms or interest in doing an emulation port?
Is ANYBODY interested in this system? I'd love to play it.

I love the SCV a lot and have a nice little collection of games for it. You're right though about the roms, they just are not available. Seems very illogical to make an emulator for a system and not have any roms around to use with it. There's a few carts I don't have that I'd love to try out at least in the emu.
This little system just doesn't get much attention outside of Japan and perhaps France. It's a shame because it was a very capable system. I'd say the games, quality wise, are somewhere between the ColeVision and the SMS. Too bad that it didn't garner a bit more popularity. Maybe then the carts for it wouldn't be so sparse and hard to get.

Hehe... yeah. It's good to know I'm not the only one in the world that appreciates this system.
Probably the only guy in the world that has the roms is the creator of the emulator, and I'm willing to bet he dumped them himself. I'd love to beseech him to let them escape somehow, but for one thing I don't speak Japanese and assuming he speaks English and asking for favors would probably be rude. Additionally, that really breaks the golden rule in every emulator's readme (aka "DON'T ASK ME FOR ROMS").
So what to do?

Wow... what a thread!
Strangely missing are any links to roms. I think maybe we should pool efforts and dump these.

The System Rom and a lot of Game-roms have been dumped. Concretely by Guru and others.
And by the way: MESS does emulate since the last release, the Super Cassete Vision too.
But, where to find those Roms, that's a mystery...

Yeah... I found a thread on this googling and looking for info over the past few days.

Amongst the repliers seems to be none-other than Nathan Strum!!! I haven't approached him. I wonder if he or anyone would be interested in my devious plans to pack-port a version of MESS to DOS with eSCV support.
