PC Joystick/board for Coleco Emulators?

[+Larry]

Does anyone know if any of the PC ColecoVision emulators support a joystick or other external controllers for basic object movements? Using a keyboard in place of a joystick to play action games has always been a real turn-off for me. Presumably the emulators for the PSP use the built-in joypad?

Thanks,

Larry

I use a Gravis GamePad Pro USB.

Hi-

Thanks. Which emulator are you using?

Well, none at the moment, but I used to use it with Virtual ColecoVison and it worked great. The Gravis is pretty much the standard gaming joystick...it should work with nearly everything.

Well, I've made some progress. I bought a Logitech USB Joypad (Gravis seems no longer available). I've looked at several games, but thus far I can only get the left button (up/down, etc.) working. None of the other buttons produce any response. Am I missing something in the setup?

 

Thanks,

I'm not sure...try going into the set-up menu and remapping all of the buttons.

Larry,

 

With Coleco emus I use (Koleko, and Mekaw) and I'm able to use a regular old Atari 2600 joystick with a stelladapter.

Hi-

 

Hey! That remapping worked. I've been playing a few of my favorites: Venture and Cosmic Avenger! This is too cool.

 

I got my daughter a Colecovision (1981?) the day they came in at Target. I was so impressed with the graphics quality versus her/my 2600

 

And I'll check out the Stelladapter.

 

Thanks much to you both!
