Is it possible to turn off the red banner messages, for example when resetting a game to not show the red banner with "RESET"?

Not possible yet.

Ah - so you're teasing that it might be available in the future?  It would be useful when recording videos using other software so that the messages aren't in the recorded video.

Looking through the .txt I didn't see any mention of this: Is there a way to dump the contents of the VDP registers to file or just display them on the screen? Just the 7 registers, nothing else? I'm using the Linux version.

Pressing Ctrl+F4 should generate a TXT file with a memory dump and VDP register dump. The debug file should be placed at your home directory.

I haven't checked the setup script in a bit on my Raspberry PI did this happen to get updated to work on the Pi4?

Hi guys.

I've been stuck for several days with a flu with only a MacBook laptop, and unable to test Mecha-9 and other games sent to me because the available emulators just doesn't handle VDP nuisances, Megacart and even less Super Game Module.

So I ported my private emulator with support for Megacart and Super Game Module, you'll need to download also libSDL 2 from http://www.libsdl.org (there is a chance you should download it, because OS X v10.11.5 somehow doesn't recognize the integrated SDL library)

It's pretty simple but it works like a charm at least in my Mac, and you can play any game from the original ones till Pac-Man Collection

You need to boot into Terminal for using it, also you must download the BIOS coleco.rom

I don't intend to update it in a looong time, so enjoy it!

Edit: Sep/02/2020 v0.6.9, now allows to take screenshots while in pause. Also added my game Zombie Near to the pack of included ROMs.

 

Edit: Jun/16/2020 v0.6.8, now allows to reverse joystick interpretation for up/down and left/right, useful with some controllers reported. I hope to not have broken anything in this release.

 

Edit: Jun/13/2020 v0.6.7, 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. Now finally includes libsdl to avoid installing it.

 

Edit: Nov/30/2017 v0.6.6, now Raspberry Pi version included, also added Ctrl+Fn+F4 to save a memory snapshot and Ctrl+Fn+F9 to log PSG values in each frame. (although keys are configurable, Ctrl for these isn't)

 

Edit: May/25/2017 v0.6.5, joysticks are now configurable, support shortcuts for full screen and saves state of it for next time (Mac Cmd+Ctrl+f and Windows Alt+Enter), enhancement of VDP emulation and undocumented modes, correction of execution time for some Z80 instructions, and solved bug where Sammy Lightfoot would crash. Raspberry version not available yet.

Edit: Feb/15/2016 v0.6.4, now ADAM keyboard can be fully configured (very useful for users with non-US keyboards), and finally Raspberry version compiled.

Edit: Jan/11/2016 v0.6.3, better emulation for Z80 solves pitch problem in speech in Sewer Sam and Squish'Em Sam, keys F4 and F7 are now configurable, Expertype and ADAM Bomb 2 are now working, fixed some ADAM keys for Windows, added 64K RAM expansion for ADAM, fixed bug in joystick support (not tested), added code to show joystick movement when using F7 (show codes). Raspberry not updated in this version because I didn't found my external keyboard

Edit: Nov/27/2015 v0.6.2, solves small bugs in Z80 and VDP emulation. Ctrl+Fn+F4 creates debugging snapshots. Allows to use two keys to activate one button (both pressed at same time). Allows for two keys to activate same button (for example two controllers). Raspberry now shows status messages (important for F7 key codes). More keys are configurable: video recording, audio recording, screenshots, enable/disable roller controller. When using Roller Controller the sensitivity has been adjusted (was too fast).

Edit: Nov/05/2015 v0.6.1, small bugs fixed. Pause and Reset key couldn't use joystick. Better compression for AVI and safeguard if 2GB limit is reached. PAL switching didn't update BIOS European byte. Able to exit using # and * key at same time (only Raspberry)

Edit: Nov/04/2015 v0.6.0, all platforms updated! Added fast startup of Colecovision BIOS, Roller Controller enabled/disabled with only Fn-F5, VIDEO RECORDING!!! using Fn-F6 (AVI with ZMBV codec, playable with VLC Player), support for Right Shift + Enter to exit in Raspberry PI (useful for Retropie).

BTW, several people has donated to CoolCV for the Mac version and also for the Raspberry version, including a Raspberry PI (still stuck in snail mail) but I've got another one for the development using the donations Thanks for contributing!!!

Edit: Sep/23/2015 v0.5.4, Mac only, allows controller mapping to be changed (creates Documents/coolcv_mapping.txt), changed Fn+F7 to show instead key codes and joystick button codes, support for Super Action Controllers (you need to activate buttons in mapping file).

Edit: Sep/01/2015 v0.5.3, Mac only, added Fn+F10 to save PNG screenshots, now also checks for file numbers previously used and doesn't rewrite them. Now also accepts dropping ZIP files, the first ROM/COL/BIN file inside will be used as game ROM

Edit: Aug/31/2015 v0.5.2, Mac only, documented Fn+F8 feature to accelerate disk/tape read in ADAM mode. Added new feature to record audio files using Fn+F9, it saves files in your Music folder. Note it reuses numbers if re-run, so copy any files you like. Now you can use Q*Bert sounds for your cellphone calls, for example

Edit: Aug/25/2015 v0.5.1, highly experimental Raspberry PI version now available in post #91 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/240800-coolcv-emulator-for-mac-os-x-linux-and-windows/page-4?do=findComment&comment=3307835

Edit: Aug/08/2015 v0.5.1, controllers should feel smoother now. Solves a bug in VDP collision register (failed in Carnival) and also allows to run Super Donkey Kong prototype (1983) deactivating SGM support (it crashed because the game wrote to port 7FH) (now ZIP file includes all platforms)

Edit: Jul/31/2015 v0.5 Added keypad support for controller 2 in keyboard and experimental Coleco ADAM support for DSK and DDP (check Read Me file for details) I've tested only SmartBASIC, Dragon's Lair and Donkey Kong Jr. (Aug/01/2015 added Linux and Windows versions)

Edit: Jul/29/2015 v0.4 Now supports for controller 2 in keyboard. Higher audio volume. Also implemented support for two joysticks (tested by grips03) with Fn+F7 to switch buttons and now it can launch ROM files (use context menu in your ROM file, select get info, change application to CoolCV, change for all) though not sure why there is a small delay in launching. Jul/30/2015 just added Windows and Linux versions.

Edit: Jul/26/2015 Now also compiled for Linux, 32 bits and 64 bits be sure to run the right version. Also you need to drop your ROM file into the window. If it's running slow, make smaller the window.

Edit: Jul/25/2015 I compiled this for Windows (very early). Same as Mac version, but you need to drop your ROM file INTO the window. If it's running slow, make smaller the window.

Edit: Jul/24/2015 v0.3 I've made this an integrated app for Mac. Now download it, open it, then drag&drop your ROM file over the icon appearing in task bar (bottom of screen). In fact you can put the app in the Launchpad for running it easily (no more command line!!)

Edit: Jul/23/2015 v0.2 ok, I didn't resisted the temptation to add window resizing and full screen mode. Snapshot saving/restoring. -pal option. And improved aspect ratio.

Can you tell me please where I would find the instructions to set this up on a Raspberry Pi using Emulation Station?

 

Can anyone tell me how I configure the controller? Specifically how do I map controller keys for "1" for starting a game and "*" ?

 

Hope someone can help.

How does coolcv know that an image is a mega cart image and that it needs to emulate the bank switching?

Basically just checking if it is larger than 32 KB.

I downloaded the latest version and tried to extract it but got errors with the SDL files regarding permission.  Other files extracted fine - do I need to do anything else?  Thanks!

Hi.

 

I wanted to ask if a version of CoolCV exists that works with Retroarch on the Raspberry Pi? I have the actual binary install on my Retropie but that doesn't work with Retroarch.

 

The reason I'd like to see a compatible version of CoolCV for Retroarch is so I can use the overlay or bezel like I can with other Retroarch compatible emulators. CoolCV works great on my Pi including SGM games, but sadly I can't use the bezel/overlay to make the screen look nicer without the large black borders on the left and right of my HDTV. With the bezel/overlay in emulators it makes the screen look nicer and the actual game screen is 4:3 which fits perfectly within the overlay/bezel.

 

I hope there might be some good news on a compatible version for RetroArch or perhaps someone else knows how to get an overlay/bezel working directly through CoolCV (if its possible) on RetroPie.

 

Thanks,

John

I'm analyzing seriously the possibility of making available a binary of CoolCV for Retroarch.

 

Two months ago, I received a Raspberry Pi 4 as donation, but I've been unable to port CoolCV to it, because the official libSDL2 doesn't support correctly the Pi 4 (libSDL2 is the graphics library I'm using for the emulator), >but< RetroArch has a heavily patched version of libSDL2 working very nicely on Raspberry Pi 4.

 

However, compiling only the libSDL2 library from RetroArch is way too daunting. So I've lost a month trying to do the port, and as I said, considering the port to Retroarch.

Will a version of CoolCV made for Retroarch work on both the Pi 4 and the 3B+? My Colecovision Ultimate Flashback uses a 3B+ which is more than enough to run the Colecovision perfectly. In the past I've used CoolCV on my 3B+ and it worked great, just without the bezel/overlay.

I think this would be a fantastic solution for the Pi 4.  With Retroarch it will most certainly make control configs easier to change.

I hope it will work fine on both versions with the same binary.

I've managed to compile a Pi 4 version binary compatible with Retropie (extension .so).

 

Also I've uploaded the binary for Mac OS X compatible with Retroarch (extension .dylib)

 

Because of my lack of knowledge of libretro, the keypad is selected like in FreeIntv using the buttons to make a tiny keypad to appear, select the key you want, and then use another button to input that key. Also to get this running fast I didn't bring the ADAM/SG-1000 support.

 

It is amazing to put a shader and get a CRT lookalike! Also it supports save states and rewind.

Hi. I know this is a stale

thread but hoping for some help.  I have a RasPi 3b+ with an ultimate pc interface and I use INTELLIVISION controllers. I am running cool_cv inside of RetroPie and I can’t for the life of me

figure out how to setup the mapping file? I set it up how I THINK it should work using jstest to figure out what button is what on the controller. But nothing seems to work! 
 

has anybody got this to work who could help?

Use the mappings below. You may want to exclude the Adam section as I have it mapped to my Adam keyboard.

Hi everyone. i would like to install coolcv on raspberry pi4 with retropie to emulate coleco adam games. It's possible? in retropie setup 4.7.20 the installation on raspberry pi4 is prevented I don't know why. maybe you can install it manually? I have a rompack for coleco adam with roms in format: .bas, .bin, .com, .ddp, .dsk, .img, .lbr. Does coolcv support these rom formats? Many thanks

Hi everyone. i would like to install coolcv on raspberry pi4 with retropie to emulate coleco adam games. It's possible? in retropie setup 4.7.20 the installation on raspberry pi4 is prevented I don't know why. maybe you can install it manually? I have a rompack for coleco adam with roms in format: .bas, .bin, .com, .ddp, .dsk, .img, .lbr. Does coolcv support these rom formats? Many thanks

I can't help you with the Pi4 questions, but as far as file formats CoolCV supports:

 

YES

*.bin - there is not a special header added to a ColecoVision cartridge rom dump, so *.bin or *.rom is interchangeable

*.ddp

*.dsk

 

NO

*.bas - this is a SmartBASIC file

*.com - this is a CP/M 2.2 executable file

*.img - could be a data pack or disk image (which would work if so, just rename to *.dsk or *.dddp) but more likely a CP/M 2.2 compressed archive of files(s) like a *.ZIP file

*.lbr - this is a CP/M 2.2 compressed file which needs to be extracted with a program called DELIB.COM or other program that supports Library files

 

The files that are "NO" have to be transferred to an existing *.DDP or *.DSK with a Windows program called ADAM Image Manager by Eric Pearson or the DOS programs named The ADAM Connection or 22Disk.

Not at the moment.  CoolCV is not supported on the Pi 4. I believe Oscar has addressed the current status in some recent posts, although that might have been in the ColecoVision Lunatics group, I'm not 100% sure, but I think he is planning on porting it over to a RetroArch core, but he should probably be the one to elaborate on that.

I believe the issue is the Pi4/400 uses different video from the other pi's and the author doesn't support it.  Not sure if there are plans to

The CoolCV Retroarch core for Pi4 (works with Retropie) can be downloaded at the first post.

 

No ADAM support.

There are other ways to run Coleco on a Pi4. I'l start a separate thread to discuss that.
