Colecovision Emulator
davidsz:
I am looking to add Colecovision to my growing list of emulators I am loading up into my Mame cab. I am looking for recomendations from anyone who is using one.
The two I have seen available and thier issues:
1) Virtual Colecovision for Windows 2.11a - This works really good has great sound but I cannot remap any keys to match my Mame cab. Also has an issue since I need a combinations of chars to max the screen size.
2) Colem - I simply cannot get this one to run, it crashes and burns everytime I try it.
Any help is appreciated.
I am using Mamewah as a frontend.
Thanks,
David

I use MESS (Multi-Emulator Super System). It works great, and it emulates many different systems. I'm currently using version 0.37 BETA 12 (Mar 3 2001). Hmmm... It's time to download a newer version...
arcadecab:
I just tried MekaW for colecovision and it seems to work fine. It has the option--as listed on Stuzza's website, in the .ini file to bypass the gui and load to full screen. I also use it for SMS and Gamegear. The only downfall is that it doesn't exit using escape--it goes back to the gui. But perhaps Stuzza will fine a way around that at somepoint and then MekaW would work well with Colecovision with those options mentioned.
Zapper:
The best Colecovision emu I've found for a cabinet is MESS 0.61.1, any newer version uses a new navigational gui which is cabinet unfriendly. MEKAW is not bad, if you download a program called MEKA Configurator you can set the emu to cabinet mode and it exits with escape.
