There is a game console called the SmarTV Adventures, which was sold by Walmart under their in house toy brand sometime around 2012. It had its own original games that came on cartridges, 2 of which came with the console.
The interesting thing is that there is a picture that shows 3 other games. The picture was found on globaltoysandgames.com, which appears to be a site that sells wholesale to stores. Also on that site is a handheld version: The console was also released in Italy, where several more games including the ones in this picture were released. I do not know if the Italian cartridges would work on an American console. Should we contact globaltoysandgames to see if they have any in stock?
The Italian cartridges would work. It's also emulated in MAME, so if you want to play the games that's how you can do that.
How do you know that? Also, only 1 game is supported on mame
Because it's not like TV standards matter since the analog transition happened, unless there's some strange Italian font American consoles won't recognize. (Italy was PAL, but most PAL TVs manufactured after 1995 or so could run in 60hz; the real problem would be getting a voltage converter for the console!) According to mamehaze on Youtube:
This is an edutainment unit sold under the KidConnection brand. Unlike many of these units designed for very young audiences there are actually lose conditions here. The presentation is alright here, things are generally well animated and there are slight adjustments to the voiceover depending on if the unit detects a PAL or NTSC hardware flag, it's just a shame there's no ending of any kind after playing through the games. Still requires a hack to run in MAME (it doesn't enable the main interrupt for some reason)
eBay has a couple consoles being sold at less than $20 each, there doesn't seem to exactly be a high demand for it. I don't know what the Italian name of it would be, but I'm sure you can get them off Italian eBay?
This states that MAME emulation should be there but it's very preliminary as only one cartridge has been dumped.
SmarTV Adventures is another device that seems to aim at taking a piece of V.Tech’s V.Smile market, offering a similar looking controller. Much like V.Smile it’s a SunPlus based system. It appears this one was a bit of a flop in the US, with only 2 cartridges being released (both of which were picked up, although one might be faulty as Sean can’t get a dump of it) Outside of the US (in European territories) there appear to be a number of other games including a Marvel licensed Spiderman one. At the moment the game doesn’t enable the interrupts (fails some startup check?) but if you force that to pass you can push things forward.
So I guess there's a lost Euro Spiderman game out there?
