Siskel Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hey... I've seen the same problem asked a few times, but never answered over the years. Hoping I'm missing something. I restored an old cocktail arcade cabinet and all is perfect except with coolcv, my horizontal joystick axis is flipped (up/down is fine). Because it's an axis and not a button, there's only one value to edit in coolcv_mapping.txt (see below) so I'm at a loss. When I hit F7 for input Left shows 'joy0 axis1 32767', and Right is 'joy0 axis1 -32768' but entering those values for "left_1" or "right_1" doesn't work (and gets overwritten as 'key0' on saving). I even tried putting a negative sign in front of "axis1" to no avail. Any help on this would be hugely appreciated... missing my Pepper II and Burger Time joystick_1_vert joy0 axis0 joystick_1_horiz joy0 axis1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the joystick setup I edited coolcv_mapping.txt. I entered: joystick_1_vert joy0 axis3 joystick_1_horiz joy0 axis0 joystick_2_vert joy1 axis3 joystick_2_horiz joy1 axis0 Up and down are ok Left and right are swapped?? How can i fix this?

Lord Helmet Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I've been using coolcv for a while on my retropie box and its just fantastic! Over the weekend i upgraded to a Pi4 and I don't see it available for install. I'm assuming that its not compatible yet with the Pi4?

Looks like it has yet to be updated to be compatible.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmuDan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Oscar, I love your work and CoolCV is an absolutely brilliant emulator. It works like a charm with retropie on my Raspberry Pi 2. However... I also recently upgraded to a Pi 4, and the lr-bluemsx emulator is a disappointment. It won't open zipped files, or sgm games. I managed to get CoolCV running outside of Retropie with TwisterOS and its awesome BoxX86 wrapper program, but it runs slowly. I also managed to compile ColEm and get it running outside of RetroPie, but it also won't open zipped files or use gamepads. If you have the time in the near future, can you please try to re-compile CoolCV for the Pi 4, and get it included in an upcoming version of Retropie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I felt obliged because someone donated a Pi 2. I'll wait a little before ordering the Pi 4. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdaters Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Do I take this last post to mean that if you had a RPi 4B, we might see CoolV sooner rather than later? I might be willing to donate to the cause... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I just noticed something about the Windows version of CoolCV (version 0.6.8, but it applies to previous versions also): When you pause the emulation with F3, you cannot snap a screenshot with F10. Trying to snap precise screenshots on the fly while playing is not exactly fun... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an earlier or expanded version of that released by CollectorVision. I've noticed that the cart release is only 32KB while the rom you've bundled with CoolCV is 128KB. The copyright dates, intro/title sequences and graphics are also different to the cart release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the expanded version never published in physical format. If you leave it in the title screen for a few seconds then you'll see an intro. It is more difficult because in each game the keys are in a different place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot it, this version has one extra map for a total of 4 maps, and each map is 10x10 size. Also the player walks faster in order to ease exploration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, nanochess said: No idea of how to program Vita. Yet. Are all the emulators on there specifically made for the Vita? I wish I could find a good cheap windows 10 handheld that wasn't $700, even if it had no keyboard. The Android ones are not half that, but Android is like the poor man's Windows when it comes to emulators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
