Although details about the AI Computer are scarce, especially in English, SMS Power was able to acquire the boxed device and several pieces of software through crowdfunding and subsequent auctions. It is noteworthy that most of this software had never appeared on the Internet before, there were not even screenshots or descriptions.
Driven by passion, the SMS Power community not only maintained the ROM, but also created a new MAME driver that allows “partial emulation” of the system (excluding keyboard, tape drive, and speech functions). While these finds are educational in nature and aimed at children (mostly the text is in Japanese), they shed light on an interesting chapter in Sega’s history.
In addition to emulators, SMS Power has compiled a treasure trove of resources including documents, screenshots, photos, articles, and ads available on their Google Drive.
