MADrigalX is a port of the Game & Watch handheld simulator originally developed by MADrigal.
It is a standalone emulator based on the Game and Watch Libretro core and the work of Andre Leiradella.
User guide
Currently, 59 games are supported.
Most games run very well, only 4-5 most demanding games are a bit slow or unresponsive (Pacman, Wild Man Jump, DK 1 and 2).
Controls
Each game has different controls, because each machine has different buttons.

Known issues
- There are a few games that are still not playable: Chicky Woggy, Crazy Chewy, Donkey Angler and Pac Man.
- The "zoom" functionality is still working bad in a few games.
- The coconut doesn't work well in the "Donkey Kong Jr (Panorama version)". This is not important because you can play the Coleco version, that is basically the same and works well.
- A few games rarely crash when booting. If this happens, please re-launch the emulator and run the game again.
Changelog
v1.0
- Amazing user interface designed by Luca "MADrigal" Antignano (thanks, Luca.)
- Huge optimization that makes almost all the games playable at full speed, even with zoom mode enabled.
- Fixed some bugs in gameplay, and in highscores saving. Now highscores will be properly saved.
- Special zoom modes for some 2-screen games.
- Fixed problems with the controls that existed in a few 2-screens games, like Donkey Kong (Nintendo, Multi Screen) or Donkey Kong II (Nintendo, Multi Screen). These games are playable now too.
