Bandai WonderSwan Color

The WonderSwan Color is a handheld game console designed by Bandai released in 2000, and was only available in Japan. While the original WonderSwan had only a black and white screen, the color version features 64k of RAM and a larger color LCD screen.

Prior to WonderSwan's release, Nintendo had a practical monopoly in the Japanese handheld market. After the release of the WonderSwan Color, Bandai took approximately 8% of the market share in Japan, partly due to its low price.

Batocera uses the standalone port Beetle Cygne based on Mednafen. Mednafen's WonderSwan emulation is based on Cygne, modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation.

The default button mapping to the WonderSwan Color is 1-to-1. It has the exact button layout as a Nintendo Game Boy. You can rotate the screen with the Select button.
