I will be demonstrating my COLECOVISION console, which is a CV-NUC+ I bought this from Marlin Bates at The Brewing Academy... https://thebrewingacademy.com/collections/colecovision-coleco-adam-hardware-consoles/products/the-cv-nuc-a-colecovision-clone-that-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand and I will be featuring one of Caleb's @8bitwidgets.com custom creations... an MCP for the colecovision! https://forums.atariage.com/topic/364348-i-have-a-few-unclaimed-colecovision-mcps-up-for-grabs/

Yes, a big thank you to the folks at the Norfolk Public Library. What an awesome meeting room they have! We plan to meet again in June. Will post the date once I get confirmation for the reservation of the room from the staff at the library. I saw the new hardware too and I think that is going to be awesome! It was a lot of fun and Dave AKA wavemotion kindly gave me a SD card for my DSi and I have now decided to keep it. I am not going to sell my DSi now that it has all these fantastic emulators on it... AND IT FITS IN THE PALM OF MY HAND! Amazing work, Dave! We took a group picture, minus a different Dave ( who had to leave early ) I believe Dave said he will post it here! thanks again everyone... It was a lot of fun today! Tim

Jess, I like what you have created. I think it "fits" the Colecovision and it has that style. I spent a lot of hours playing the Atari 8-bit computer version of this game. I would love to see a version on the Colecovision. (and ADAM ) Do you think you will continue?

@1980gamer bring a box of bag of items that you would like to sell / trade. I would like to see what Coleco homebrews you have to offer. @wavemotion I will bring my DSi with me. And a 2GB SD card … I would like to get the latest and greatest of your software package for it. I know what you mean about crossing my hands ; I have done that technique in arcades. lol unless there is a way to hook up an external controller to the DSi, I cannot use this little device. It’s too bad. Seems like it would be nice ….if only was left handed

I am enjoying the selection of the PICO-8 games. The fake08 emulator is doing a very nice job of emulation. I also figured out how to add a game. I just added ZOOKEEPER. ( created / programmed by PAHAMMOND ) It is a lot of fun. I can try to add his other games as well. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=33292 Once done, do you want me to create a ZIP file of my modified ROM_PICO8 folder that I have on my SD card?

There is an alternative for a "new - made in 2024" Colecovision console: The CV-NUC+ ( currently being sold by The The Brewing Academy ) https://thebrewingacademy.com/collections/colecovision-coleco-adam-hardware-consoles/products/the-cv-nuc-a-colecovision-clone-that-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand?variant=40158960549990 I have this console system and I really like it! It is now my "daily driver" for my Colecovision setup.

I renamed the files as you suggested and edited the all-games.ini file with the respective changes and I am happy to report that everything is working fine!

I was the user who sent the PM to RocketFan asking about the Pico games on the flashback 9. I did a little bit more investigating. I tried JETPACK, CENTIPEDE, and AMIDAR. All 3 of these games played fine. I was able to exit by pressing the MENU button ( the left most on the front of the joystick ) However, when I tried some other games... for example PICO FROGGER and SPACE INVADERS ... I cannot exit. I press MENU button but it does not exit. In fact, when I first choose either game ( PICO FROGGER or SPACE INVADERS ) a message comes up before gameplay that says that the START, SELECT, and REWIND features are not compatible with this game Could it be that the MENU button is not compatible either?

Hi DaveB! Yes, I hope you will come by! I am a fan of your work! I will bring my Nintendo DSi! I'm right handed so this handheld console is kind of awkward for me. I will also bring an SD card. Maybe you can show it to me and load the latest and greatest on it and others at the gathering can try it out! Tim

I have good news! Caleb and Eduardo and myself are resurrecting the New England Classing Gaming User Group! The first meeting will be on: Saturday, April 27 from 11:00am - 2:00pm Norfolk Public Library, in the large meeting room 2 Liberty Lane Norfolk, MA 02056 We agreed on the location because it is central to the Boston area, Rhode Island, and the Southcoast of Mass. And they agreed to allow us to utilize the facility. I will be giving a presentation about the homebrew game I created and published. "MEAN SANTA: from an idea to a finished product" Caleb will be giving a demonstration of his ADAM computer and the various tricked-out peripherals for it. Come and join us! let's plan on bringing a bag or box of some items to swap / sell at the meeting as well. thanks, and hope to see you there! -Tim Duarte

Hi everyone, I have a Nintendo Dsi with box and original instruction manual. I wanted to try this out , but since I am a right-handed game player, I don't think this is going to be a good option for me. I would like to sell or trade this Nintendo Dsi console system to someone who may be interested in this Colecovision emulator / Colecovision portable gaming system! If anyone is interested, please let me know. Send me a private message. thank you, Tim

I too would like to see a simulateous two-player version of Frogger. If you recall, FREEWAY ( by Activision ) had two-player simultaneous action. 2 chickens crossing the freeway... Would this be possible? The Atari 8-bit computer version you are think of is Chuck Benton's version, published by Sierra On-Line: https://www.atarimania.com/pgesoft.awp?version=12181
