Developing USB adaptor for Colecovision & Intellivision controllers

Recommended Posts

Was it purchased recently? They ship with the latest firmware already installed. Last firmware change was June '16.

 

What happens and what do you have to do to get it connected again? Do you think it is just a particular controller? Or how long it has be connected?

 

I have seen on the 2600-daptors sometimes the USB connection is reset when the controller is changed (particularly with the 2600 keypad), but it reconnects itself. The situation is different on the Vision-daptor, as you need to unplug/replug the USB when changing controllers.

OK, I will have to update the firmware then, because I purchased it in Feb. or March of last year.

 

It seems to happen after about a minute or so. I have a few other controllers to tryout. I'll try to test them at some point tonight.

I pinned the issue down, and was able to fix it. I went into the windows properties of the vision dapter, and every time I used the Super Action Controller, and pressed up and right, the drivers would crash. I updated the firmware on the device, and now it works without issue.

Have posted a firmware update -

If you have had trouble with the Vision-daptor not remembering the last controller, please give it a try. And let me know if you still have trouble after trying it.

 

Also have support for Sega MS Sports Pad and HPD-200 paddle controllers. For now they are optional firmware (same link as above).

Nostalgia , Bliss and jzINTV , to the best of my knowledge none are still being developed. Sort of a sad state of affairs on the INTV emu front.

 

FWIW, jzIntv is still under active development, roughly 20 years after I started it. (Yikes!)

 

I just finally ordered a Vision-Daptor for myself. I have other adaptors (Retrobox, Retronic) but not this one. I'll happily include an "official" Vision-Daptor "hackfile" with a future jzIntv release.

That will be awesome. This is my favorite USB adapter! :)

I don't see that ColEm has any mapping for the controller keypad.  You could try contacting the developer, there may be something I am not seeing -

Or try another emulator like CoolCV -

Thanks! I thought I might be missing somthing... CoolCv worked perfect. How do you guy rate coolCV vs Colem?> OR what do you guys suggest for the most accurate emu that works with the adaptor?

i think you answered your own question: "CoolCV worked perfect"

 

they both have threads in the coleco forum.  That may be a better place to ask this question.
