To dość ciekawy projekt autorstwa Juana Carlosa González Amestoy, w którym w chwili obecnej zaemulujemy maszynki marki Sinclair i Amstrad tworząc ich wirtualne maszyny, środowisko pozwala nie tylko na odtworzenie ich pracy, ale dzięki shaderom także dość wierne odtworzenie obrazu CRT (dużo ustawień), dźwięku (znów jest na czym eksperymentować). RVM pozwala dodawać wirtualne dodatki - oczywiście jeśli są zdefiniowane.
Można polubić RMV - zwłaszcza jeśli ktoś tęskni do misterium odpalania gier na emulowanych maszynkach - magnetofon kręci kasetą, stacja dyskietek bzyczy, a cart z grą trzeba wrzucić do wirtualnego slotu konsolki. RVM nie ma sobie nic do zarzucenia jeśli mowa o ustawieniach wyświetlania grafiki - korzystając z przedefiniowanych ustawień bez problemu poudajemy stary obraz z CRT.
Od tej wersji RVM można się pobawić równieaż na Rasberry PI.
