Byte Knight Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If nonochess PM's me his address, I will just ship him a PI that will be plug and play. There is no need for anyone to donate to the PI. Just donate to him for the emulator. Even better - thanks Dave! I'm happy to donate to this awesome emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayXambeR Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have completely map coolcv on my mac and it works great now! Too, I have plug an Atari Jaguar controller and make a configuration to use it with CoolCV under the software called "Joystick Mapper" (not free). It is fantastic! Many thanks for coolcv nanochess, it is a real gem in emulation on mac os. If someone interested in the key mapping (for French keyboard), no problem to post it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The PI is on the way to Nanochess. Please contribute financially to him just for the emulator...or just to contribute. I would believe all support is appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovy978 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If you want integred coolcv to retropie you need first copy your coolcv at cd /opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv and add this lines at nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg: <system> <name>colecovision</name> <fullname>ColecoVision</fullname> <path>~/RetroPie/roms/colecovision</path> <extension>.rom .ROM .col .COL</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi %ROM% </command> <platform>colecovision</platform> <theme>colecovision</theme> </system> And don't forget this line finish with:</systemList> This way work great for coolcv on retropie keyboard works joystick works. Good pleasure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Wow! Nice work! What would be cool is the ability to record video, set the resolution, and screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you say video recording? Check first post, all platforms updated New features: Fast startup of Colecovision BIOS. Fn-F5 enables/disables roller controller. Fn-F6 starts/stops video recording (AVI format with ZMBV codec) Support for Shift+Enter to exit in Raspberry PI (useful for Retropie) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not in... "your Movies folder My Documents folder in Windows, or home directory in others" I'm running Windows 7.

intvdave Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Would someone share their coolcv_mappings.txt file? Preferably one that is configured with the Ultimate Interface Is mapping the keypad available or just the side buttons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anyone else having issues with USB controllers in the Windows version? I get no up or down movement in a game like Donkey Kong...but I can run left and right. In Frenzy....no up and down and if I run left, it goes left and up and if I go right, it goes right and down. USB controller works fine in all other emulators on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, the code for handling controllers hasn't changed, have you tested with previous versions of emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It only appears to be receiving codes from the fire buttons, not the directional pad. And yes, I had issues with the controller on the last release too. Any ideas? Please check with F7 key if the emulator is receiving codes when you use your USB controller.

intvdave Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Every single button is mapeable How is the Fast startup of Colecovision BIOS enabled? I now realized that the mapping file is created when the emulator is first run. I should have read the documentation better. On the Raspberry with Retropie, the coolcv_mapping.txt is created in the /home/pi folder. The exit, pause, and reset work from the keyboard. Only reset is working from the joystick. Below is my setting for the 3 functions. Is anyone else noticing this issue? key_exit key1073741939 joy0_5 key_pause key1073741884 joy0_4 key_reset key8 joy0_3 Edited November 5, 2015 by intvdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) It cannot be disabled, it reduces the 13 typical seconds to 5 or so Is there a way to completely bypass the startup screen? I updated my posting. Please take a look at the issue I noted with the joystick and reset/pause. I have noticed that I get the message below when exiting the Raspberry version of the emulator: ALSA lib pcm.c.7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred The game seems to be playing fine and I do have audio. I have to play longer to see if I notice a problem. Thanks for the emulator! p.s. (updated) I just noticed that the audio plays well when the game first start then sound choppy. I have my Raspberry set to 800mhz and the audio did sound good when the game first started. Edited November 5, 2015 by intvdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
