Support for Benesse Pocket Challenge W

[Ganou12]

The Benesse Pocket Challenge W was released before the Pocket Challenge V2. There's very few information on it on the web, apart from the fact that it wasn't compatible with wonderswan games.

This would constitute a new platform, and so - given its niche nature - is unlikely to be implemented in Ares; the only reason the Pocket Challenge V2 is supported is that it's literally a WonderSwan with a different keypad wiring; everything else about the hardware is identical (aside from some cartridges featuring a different KARNAK mapper, which is only partially supported at this time).

You'd probably have more luck with a project like MAME.

I was going to look into this as it could be a fun thing to do after the MyVision core, but it uses the MP90845, a CPU that isn't supported by Ares right now. If for whatever resion it does get added (can't think of any well known systems that use this particular CPU) I'll be happy to add it for you, just right now its a lot of work for just this one system.

Also its worth noting that even MAMEs core for this is a "skeleton" so would need to reverse it likely from scratch. (Even I don't have this system in my collection)

Sorry.

There exists another emulator that works reasonably well with this called kindred (emulator).

It's the only emulator for this I know of. It was made by someone on no intro and it only works on windows.

Hope this helps:)
