Keatah Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Astrocade, Intellivision, Vectrex, ColecoVision -- I'm using MESS for these right now. Are there any better choices? A broad question 2bsure. But is MESS the best option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 BlueMSX emulator emulates Colecovision. I haven't used MESS for Colecovision, and only a port for iOS based on Blue MSX to play Colecovision on my jailbroken iPad. Sorry I can't help any more. I would really like to play Incredible Wizard as I have been trying and failing to get a good deal on a good looking Bally Astrocade. On mac OSX, I have an Inrellivision emulator, and a java Vectrex emulator. Real Vectrex is superior so I don't really want to emulate, and the Intv emulator is weak also.

ClassicGMR Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I use: Nostalgia 5 for Intellivision Bee for ColecoVision ParaJVE and DVE for Vectrex (but now I don't really emulate it anymore) I have no opinion on the Astrocade. Never emulated it. Kind of off topic since it doesn't apply to your question but - Mednafen is hands-down my favorite multisystem emulator. If you haven't seen it check it out.

Robot2600 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 ParaJVE is excellent and (legally) comes packaged with all the roms. I'll also have to second Nostalgia for Intv. I need to go try out Bee, gotta play some Coleco today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_Rock2001 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Anyone know if parajve will ever get anymore development I noticed there are a few games that aren't quite right at the bottom of the drop down menu for game choice?

Cody_Rock2001 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Still probably the best emulator for vectrex though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot2600 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Dunno about paraJVA's development, but I can say that for Colecovision, after having tried all of the emus out this past week, you definitely want BlueMSX (yes it plays Coleco).

Cody_Rock2001 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes I liked BlueMSX a lot it was a bit tricky at first but once up and running it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Bluemsx works really well for the Colecovision. If you happen to own a wii I would recommend Wiicolem for playing Colecovision games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The Colecovision must be one of the easiest consoles to emulate. I remember doing Coleco emulation on the 486 and it seemed fast and accurate then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
