I'm a bit new to the electronics bit, but I have made my own AV mods, Power indicator leds, done the Rocker Power switch mod (definitely recommended) and have done the Pause mod on Colecovisions, but I was wondering about a mod that I haven't heard about. Is it possible to make a Colecovision have a speed dial or to make it a bit faster and/or slower (perhaps with a potentiometer)? The reason I like this idea as a mod is the same reason I don't play Street Fighter II anymore, instead I play Street Fighter II Turbo. I like the faster speed. However, in some games for Colecovision like Montezuma's Revenge, I think the game moves a bit too fast and would like to slow it down. Think of going back through your entire Colecovision collection and replaying all of your games at a slightly faster or slower speed. This would perhaps increase or decrease the difficulty and would be a pretty AWESOME mod since it would affect the actual gameplay.

 

I have 4 Colecovisions to test this out on, but I need the community's help to do some tests. I'm not up on all the jargon, but if you say that part at U22, replace it with bla bla bla. I understand that. I know people are a bit reluctant to fool around with changes like this on their own system, that's what I'm here for. You give me an idea of what parts to change/modify or whatever, and I'll fool around with my extra Colecos and perhaps we, as a community, can create one of the coolest mods EVER for a Colecovision. On top of that, I'll make up FULL documentation on what changes would be needed and re-post on this site so anyone (with a soldering iron) could do it. I may even post a YouTube video as well.

 

So, if you have any ideas, please feel free to post them below.

This is an iinteresting topic where parkfun101 wants to speed up the colecovision because some games are slow specialy Donkey Kong.

parkfun101 managed to hack his colecovision to run faster.

For all colecovision games released, only three of them run faster. Donkey Kong is not one of them.
