ColEm updated to v2.6

[newcoleco]

Maybe you knew it already but ColEm was updated in order to fix a few bugs and issues. In the change log file, Marat F. is thanking me for the screen mode 2 masking patch he finaly did incorporate to his emulator.

 

However, this doesn't mean that my games are emulated fine. It seems to still have an issue with noise rendering, and it's particulary audible when running GhostBlaster. Windows ColEm massacre the GhostBusters theme I've composed by using only "white noise" rendering instead of the "periodic noise" rendering (which gives a bass sound). Hopefully, there are variations of this emulators who did improve already the sound generator part in order to fix this issue.

Thanks for letting us know about this!

 

I wish someone would take time to do a proper update for AdamEm. I know Geoff Oltmans did some work on it a while back, but he mainly just added on top of the existing emu without fixing much. It can definitely use some sound tweaks (especially the MAC build) and a proper UI.
