xterm works extremely well if set up right.
So far, xterm is the only one I've used that actually works correctly.
Even putty does some things wrong.
(That said, the terminal program coming with Pathworks (the name escapes
me), might also be good enough, from what I gather, but since I don't
really use Windows much, it's mostly irrelevant for me).

it's what I use for my vax emulation with simh
MAME is multi ARCADE machine emulator, and while it may support or
use the roms for VT terminals, it's only meant for use with the game
machines that need it. don't ask me which ones, I have no idea.
as per mame maybe you could be confusing "rom" with "firmware"
mame emulating a VT terminal makes zero sense.

[Simh] EXT : MAME and simh
Why not use PuTTY for the VT terminal emulator, which is known to
work with SIMH?
What is the point of trying to use MAME for VT emulation?

Subject: EXT :[Simh] MAME and simh
Hi folks,
I am trying to get MAME to talk to simh in order to use MAME as a VT
terminal emulator. However, I am failing to get the two to talk to
each other. I have been using simh for over 10 years, but I only
picked up MAME two days ago.
I have tried MAME v 0.222 on Windows 10 and MAME v 0.208 on Debian
10.1. Both start up successfully, but I have trouble using them. I
also have a set of 13 ROMs for several VT terminals.
I have found some helpful information on the web, specifically
https://zork.net/~st/jottings/Real-VT102-emulation-with-MAME.html
and
https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_and_SIMH
The latter page looks like it should be just what I am looking for,
but it describes using a VT240 ROM. My vt240 ROM doesn't work. My
vt220 ROM does work, but when I follow the instructions to 'press F3
to enter setup', nothing happens.
I have also got the impression that some of the command line options
for mame have changed over time, so some older information on the web
may no longer be accurate.
So, has anyone got this combination to work? If so, can they send me
exact instructions on how to do it please. I hope that I am simply
failing to do something that will become obvious with hindsight.
My normal Linux system is CentOS 6, CentOS 7 or Fedora 31, but I also
have Debian 10.1 available.
I run several simulated VAX and PDP-11 instances using simh.
Cheers
Peter Allan
