Videoton TVC
The Videoton TVC (Televízió Computer) is a home computer series produced by the Hungarian company Videoton. Released in 1986, it was based on the Zilog Z80 CPU and was primarily popular in Hungary. The TVC line included several models: TVC 32, TVC 64, and TVC 64+, differing mainly in memory configuration. It featured a built-in BASIC interpreter and was capable of displaying graphics and playing cassette-based software.

Emulators
RetroArch
RetroArch (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple “cores”, which are essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the libretro API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as “libretro: (core name)”. RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform.
RetroArch configuration
RetroArch offers a Quick Menu accessed by pressing [HOTKEY] +
which can be used to alter various things like RetroArch and core options, and controller mapping. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation.
Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: tvc.videomode, tvc.ratio, tvc.smooth, tvc.shaders, tvc.pixel_perfect, tvc.decoration, tvc.game_translation
libretro: ep128emu-core
ep128emu-core is a highly accurate emulator ported to libretro. It supports both Enterprise 64/128 and Videoton TVC emulation.
libretro: MAME
MAME can emulate the Videoton TVC 64 using the tvc64 driver. This allows loading cassette and disk images directly.
MAME (standalone)
The standalone MAME emulator provides the same tvc64 driver as the libretro core, but as a separate application.
Controls
Most TVC software is operated with the keyboard. There is a minimal pad2key configuration provided, but if you use only a joystick, you will most probably have to remap the keyboard to play your game.
