I was wondering on where should we start on finding information. i'm very new to looking up information on video game consoles, especially with a japanese-only console from the late 90s. I'm currently looking for any coverage in famitsu, but i'm not sure if there are other gaming Japanese game magazines that might have coverage on this. Especially when theres 3 versions, one might be considered "next-gen". Lucia Black ( talk) 05:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Send me an e-mail so that i can respond back with the attached file. I'm not worried about any conflict. i did ask for help, and i'm not really trying to push for a specific direction, i just want the article to get some proper coverage.
The table was already there when i took interest in the article, but looking at some of the information repeats and not necessary to have in a table format. In fact, some of these aspects aren't even technical specifications. So if its possible to condense it in prose and comprehensible, then that would be better. I don't think we'll find too many variations of the WonderSwan, so i'll assume models subsection similar to Sega CD will work. Lucia Black ( talk) 03:48, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Always nice to see a video game hardware article nom from Red Phoenix. I'll be happy to give this one a look. Indrian ( talk) 19:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Either i don't have the right character set in my computer, or something is wrong with the site. if anyone can see this site properly, they can add the information. ROM sites are generally unreliable. Lucia Black ( talk) 18:23, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Done I know this is a short article, but this seems a little sparse. I am not sure what to suggest here except that maybe you could find a picture of Yokoi or a picture of some of the system's accessories. If not, that's fine -- I'm not going to fail the article over that -- but it just feels like it could use a little more in this department.
And that's it. While I have written a lot of text, in truth, I think the actual issues I have highlighted are fairly minor, with the exception, perhaps, of my concerns regarding the lead and the infobox. I know it can be difficult attempting to create an informative and balanced article on a subject that is discussed in relatively few English-language sources, so I do not intend to be too particular in how my concerns are addressed. I do believe this article is close, so I am going to place it On hold for now. Indrian ( talk) 00:04, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
The article state a the Wonderswan use NEC V20, but first it not directly a NEC chip, it is branded Bandai, and contain more than just the CPU, and the core used seems to be more a V30, maybe a V30MZ like. Godzil ( talk) 09:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Before reverting changes, read the changes content. The changes I've made yesterdays are not falling in the "not according to reliable sources" rule. I am, unfortunately, one of the few reliable source on the WonderSwan as I'm working on documenting it. The changes I've made was just simple correction of things that was wrong, and clearly "not according to reliable sources" (especially the note about storing game save in the console itself) all the rest was rewording and correction of incorrect information (like the "512KB" VRAM size, anyone that knows a bit about the WonderSwan will laught at that statement) As for the CPU, the NEC V20 is a 8088 clone, the WonderSwan use an embedded version of the NEC V30 (a 80186 clone) and the MZ (which is a "soft" version of the NEC V30) is the closest version, there are slight differences, but it's the closest version, and it CAN'T be a NEC V20. I'm sorry that Wikipedia mixed the V20 and the V30 on the same page, but they are quite different. Godzil ( talk) 09:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

As with the Game Boy Color, these WonderSwan Color exclusives were clear cartridges and refuses to play if you're playing on older WonderSwan models. Dual mode carts will work with all WonderSwan models. -- 2601:C8:C001:9AF0:5458:BDD2:EB9C:F0E7 ( talk) 01:17, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
It's not that true in fact. Some B&W games used the clear shell for some reason (like the WonderBorg cart which at IR Tx ) Generally color games use the clear case, but unlike the GB Gray (B&W), Black (B&W with color support) and clear (Color only) a lot of color game have actually a B&W mode.
Also the WonderWitch have the clear black shell, but using the latest updates support color mode, but this one is an exception.

From "Also included in the handheld was built-in memory allowing players to save their game." this information exist on only one non technical article, written by people who don't know a lot about the WonderSwan itself. Can someone even list a game that would use that feature? The problem is: there is none. And that's easy to check, no emulator support writing to the internal EEPROM, and it would be a mess as there is no filesystem or equivalent there for a game to store data. So does someone have access to an official SDK or something a bit more meaningful than a single article to keep that false sentence in this article? -- 217.156.156.69 ( talk) 15:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
in the 'WonderSwan' article its says that its sixth gen console but in the 'fifth generation of video games consoles' article the WonderSwan is there i think someone needs to change that Justthat1guyinwiki ( talk) 16:54, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
