Hello fellow simulator enthusiasts!
As a surprise reveal for the end of my "VT100 Deep Dive" talk at VCFMW
last weekend, I showed a Space Invaders clone running in the AVO
expansion ROM of the VT100 via MAME.
Did you know that there's a vt100/vt102 emulator in MAME? It's marked
as "not working" and isn't very well documented, but it does in fact
work pretty well.
In addition to the firmware hack, I've documented how to do various
things with the MAME vt100 emulator (see docs/mame.md):
- Play back a VT100 animation
- Connect to a physical serial port
- Connect to a network connection (SIMH console?)
Everything is on github in a fork of Paul Williams annotated VT100
firmware assembly listing.

Please note that if you wish to try this with real ROMs on real
hardware that some special considerations will need to be taken. See
the documentation for that.
