(easier with Retropie, harder with Raspbian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRLS Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 great stuff! Working great on my windows machine Is there an android version? (or maybe it's coming) Would be great to run it on my android shield pro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(easier with Retropie, harder with Raspbian) For whatever reason, CoolCv does not create a mapping file coolcv_mapping.txt when I first use CoolCV. Is there a mapping text file for PC I can copy or download for my ColecoVision controller so I am not muddling around from scratch? Also do you just put it in the same folder space as coolcv.exe? Surprising that all I can find is about people using it in retropie. Edit: gahhh, never mind! I just read a post that said it goes to mydocuments and found it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi nanochess, I'm not sure if you've been following the CollectorVision Club 2020 thread, but as part of the club the ROM file for "The CAT Scheduled Oil Sampling Game" was provided. I've been doing some testing of the ROM and found a really bizarre issue with CV software emulators and this game. Basically, the game does not work in any ColecoVision emulator that I've tried. I've tried CoolCV (v6.6), ColEm and blueMSX and H.E.R.O. also found that vdmgr64 behaves the same. When the game starts press any keypad key to get to the game menu and then press * to start a game. All of that works fine, but when the game screen with the CAT starts it seems to just freeze with white noise. No joystick or keypad entries do anything. The main reason I'm posting this here is that Swami discovered that CAT works in CoolCV v6.2 to v6.5 but NOT in v6.6. So, could you shed any light on what the issue may be?

+nanochess Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think only changed the pattern of memory initialization, and the small ROM aren't repeated to fill 32K. But I'll give a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJD69 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Oscar, is there currently shader support (or any other configurable video/sound options) for coolcv on pi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Rick Reynolds Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hey all, Trying to get CoolCV running on a RetrOrange PI setup. I copied the coolcv_pi executable into place, but when I run it from the command line I get this error: /opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi: error while loading shared libraries: libbcm_host.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've installed what I thought was the correct version of this file in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, and even in the same directory as coolcv itself, but it still complains about this lib being missing. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 If the files are there, maybe it is a file permissions issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This one is for nanochess, any chance of this happening? This is from the retropie forum for the newly released beta for the RPI4. mitu GLOBAL MODERATOR Dec 23, 2019, 2:52 AM I've got jzintv running on the Pi4 - it will probably be added to the development branch soon(ish). For coolcv, it's a different story, since it's not an open source emulator and the binary distributed is using the (legacy) Broadcom GL libraries. Porting it to the new Mesa GL driver might need some changes to the emulator, which only its author can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, not out yet, but we do have Coleco support in early stages in Project Argon, and have it working on RPI3+ and RPI4. We will post here (and on our social media) when we are ready for an open beta later this year.

VectorGamer Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Has anyone gotten this to work on Raspberry Pi with an Xbox controller? Just looking for a ready made coolcv_mapping.txt file but I can't find one uploaded anywhere. Are there instructions anywhere on how to edit this file?

+nanochess Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) At last found time to update CoolCV to version 0.6.7, few changes but useful. Distro in first post. Pi cannot be updated this time because I cannot locate my Pi!!! Now support for random number generation on games like Word Feud (using RAND_GEN from Coleco BIOS). Paused windows doesn't show trash if minimized/maximized or something passes over. Pause shows a message. Added Mecha-9 to the game collection included. Edit: Now including libsdl in the Mac OS X application bundle, so you don't have to install it. Edited June 14, 2020 by nanochess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue still remains with the bundled SDL framework (see posts #338 - #340 in this thread) not loading in macOS (for me, macOS 10.14.6), so users on that platform still have to install the framework independently to use CoolCV. Looks like the version string in Info.plist also needs to be bumped to 0.6.7, unless it's 0.6.6 in the "almost all" zip archive for macOS?
