Pico emulation, eh?

I'll just assume that picture is what I think it is.
Hmm, will the Pico BIOS rom (I assume there is one) be embedded into the Meka executable like the SMS bios?

Actually it's from a Mark III art program, that uses a special graphics tablet instead of a control pad.
It would be interesting to find some hardware specs on the Pico, through...

I think, it'll be very hard to emulate the Pico, I've got one (yes i know, it's for the kids but i'm a sega freak)
and the use of the interactive books are really special.
In fact, the ligth pen allow to select special area of the books depending the current page.
So, if i turn a page of the books, the "Stage change" and depending a page , i can change colors, drag a chair..
i think that this scheme 'll hard to implement

I agree, though it may be possible to handle the input with a mouse.
What format are the games in, btw? Cartridge, disk, CD-ROM?

It's a very particular cardtridge , there's pin for the rom (of course) but there's the book pages which handle the program. I'll try to scan mine ..
I'll look to the manual spec for further precision. (i think it's base on the 68000)
