+nanochess Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 thanks all for the help.... You need to download and install libSDL https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.9.dmg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knievel1 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So for all us iMac users - install libSDL, run the CoolCV application - that's it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbai Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) So for all us iMac users - install libSDL, run the CoolCV application - that's it? Should be, for macOS users. This is a known issue mentioned upthread a while back (posts #338 to #340) where the libSDL packaged in the application bundle isn't (always? sometimes?) recognized as intended.

alortegac Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Sorry! I don't know what happens. I don't know Launchbox nor I've tested it. If CoolCV already worked in your setup, and doesn't work after installing LaunchBox, and also makes another emulator to fail, then it's pretty probable LaunchBox messed up your display settings. The problem was the monitor. In case someone ever has a similar issue. I swapped to other monitor...and is now working fine. Weirdest issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdest issue. Just searched for problem reports in libSDL and apparently there is a unsolved problem with different DPI settings in separate monitors https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41745492/sdl2-how-to-position-a-window-on-a-second-monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bhall408 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 So for all us iMac users - install libSDL, run the CoolCV application - that's it? Yes, that will get the app to launch (without libSDL it will fail silently). However I do find that the audio can be choppy compared to (for example) OpenEMU.

ColecoJoe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Yes, that will get the app to launch (without libSDL it will fail silently). However I do find that the audio can be choppy compared to (for example) OpenEMU. That's weird, I have the opposite problem. By the way, OpenEmu is not a emulator, it's a collection of emulators. I believe it uses CrabEMU for Colecovision roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alortegac Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Has anyone tried to set up WiiPro controller via mayflash?. Coolcv does not recognize them at all. Do I need call them differently (other than joy) in the config mappings? I am setting up mayflash in dinput mode, the controller is recognized successfully and it is working properly in all other applications. OS id won 7 64. Thanks!

EVEGames Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 @Nanochess,Glad to see this thread is still chuggin'.I recently installed CoolCV on a Raspberry Pi Zero W for the first time, and while I got it fully up and running, controller mapped properly, still it runs a bit laggy.It starts with sound slightly stuttering and it seems to get progressively worse with time while playing a game.Just wondering if there are any tips or tricks to squeeze additional performance out of CoolCV. I have not yet gone as far as to overclock my Pi, I want to save that as a last resort.Any tips from the creator?Thanks again for all you do with CoolCV!-Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember overclocking the Pi 2 to get the required speed but once I updated the base system it got slow again. As I've been using Pi 3 I don't have yet returned to it to check if I can improve perfomance. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've been using Pi 3 I don't have yet returned to it to check if I can improve performance. Sorry. The performance of the Pi0 and the Pi2 are not quite the same. The Pi0 has 1-core CPU @1000MHz (1GHz) and 512MB of ram, but the Pi2 had 4-core CPU @900MHz and 1GB of ram There is a fairly complete comparison chart: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/raspberrypi-models-comparison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 All of a sudden I have no audio with the emulator in retropie on a pi 3b+? I just did a fresh install to see if that would fix the issue and it has not. All of the other emulators have no issue with sound? Any ideas?

TwiliteZoner Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I found a fix of sorts. I plugged in speakers to the 3.5mm jack on the pi and now I'm getting CoolCV audio. EDIT: That was after I went into the retropie config and changed the audio from HDMI to 3.5mm jack.

hizzy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Read the coolcv.tx file that comes with CoolCV - it explains how to map a controller. Thanks for the tip. I'm still having a hard time figuring this out, but it's starting to come together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm afraid I have an extremely stupid question. I've found the Coolcv mapping text file. How do I know what the key number is on my controller? Is there a program that can tell me what key number is "Up" is on my D-pad, so that I can make a change in the text file? Sorry for the dense question. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Not a dense question at all. I had the same difficulty to start with. To figure out the key number start CoolCV and press F7 (it will display Checking Codes in the top left of CoolCV for a few seconds). Then whenever you do anything on your controller it will display the key number in the top left of CoolCV. You can press F7 again to disable the key number being displayed. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Harris Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Until COLEM gets around to providing ADAM support your seems to be the best one out there outside of MESS which is, a MESS. A few major points of issue.Even in the key mapping the backspace is key 8.But you have key 8 hard coded to reset the system I guess for linux or the pi.... For at least Windows that needs to change. It always boots up in coleco mode so I can't get access to the word processor or early file manipulation.Is it possible to have a command line setting that we can put it in the Coolcv Mapping file. Is it also possible that once you select ultra fast disk/ddp that it stays that way instead of selecting it each time run. If I had an ultimate ONE wish it would be to have all keys 100% re-mapable including the system keys.I would love to use the first 6 function keys, home, delete and all that without system reset, snapshots and all that jazz. The way it is you can't use your keyboard seamlessly without the hard coded system getting in the way.If you can then I am not aware of it.Thanks, don't stop developing this because it's the best one out there.

If I had an ultimate ONE wish it would be to have all keys 100% re-mapable including the system keys. All keys are able to be remapped including the emulator shorcuts. The names for the keys are: key_save key_restore key_exit key_pause key_reset key_rolling_controller key_record_video key_record_audio key_screenshot key_fast_disk key_sync key_codes And the Adam keys for configuration are these: adam_nul adam_soh adam_stx adam_etx adam_eot adam_enq adam_ack adam_bel adam_bs adam_ht adam_lf adam_vt adam_ff adam_cr adam_so adam_si adam_dle adam_dc1 adam_dc2 adam_dc3 adam_dc4 adam_nak adam_syn adam_etb adam_can adam_em adam_sub adam_esc adam_fs adam_gs adam_rs adam_us adam_space adam_exclamation adam_quotes adam_number adam_dollar adam_percent adam_ampersand adam_apostrophe adam_leftparen adam_rightparen adam_multiply adam_plus adam_comma adam_minus adam_period adam_slash adam_colon adam_semicolon adam_less adam_equals adam_greater adam_question adam_at adam_leftsquare adam_backslash adam_rightsquare adam_power adam_underscore adam_grave adam_leftbracket adam_bar adam_rightbracket adam_tilde adam_del adam_home adam_i adam_ii adam_iii adam_iv adam_v adam_vi adam_shift_i adam_shift_ii adam_shift_iii adam_shift_iv adam_shift_v adam_shift_vi adam_wildcard adam_undo adam_move adam_store adam_insert adam_print adam_clear adam_delete adam_shift_wildcard adam_shift_undo adam_shift_move adam_shift_store adam_shift_insert adam_shift_print adam_shift_clear adam_shift_delete adam_up adam_right adam_down adam_left adam_ctrl_up adam_ctrl_right adam_ctrl_down adam_ctrl_left adam_up_right adam_right_down adam_down_left adam_left_up adam_home_up adam_home_right adam_home_down adam_home_left adam_shift_backspace adam_shift_tab Internally these are configured to use combinations of keys and Shift, Ctrl or Alt. I've plans to preserve the state of fast disk and of course to boot into ADAM without using a disk/tape file. I would love to use the first 6 function keys, home, delete and all that without system reset, snapshots and all that jazz. The way it is you can't use your keyboard seamlessly without the hard coded system getting in the way. If you can then I am not aware of it. Thanks, don't stop developing this because it's the best one out there. I hope you can now configure the keyboard at your taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harris Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have no clue what I am doing wrong because I, in 100% all honesty, have remapped the keys and they don't stick. As an example, I remapped the backspace key to the ADAM keyboard backspace and all it will do is reset the emulator.And trust me when I say, not blowing smoke, I love this emulator and it's simplicity.

Mike Harris Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) OK, trying a new approach.change the reset key to a different value.It may be that I am trying to map what is already defined and when I look through the entire list in the coolcv map IS defined as reset 08 and backspace 08 by default but reset comes first so ???
