intvdave Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would be very interested in Fairchild Channel F emulator for RetroPie! any chance of seeing Bally emulator as well? I just updated my 3.2 package on the website. It contains Channel F and all the other emulators I configured. I did not include CD images to keep the package small. Most emulators have at least one game so you can see it working. Adding Bally AstroArcade (or is it Bally Professional Arcade) should be easy to add. I will work on it this week. Keep in mind, all my configurations use the Ultimate Interface. Speaking of this... I am hoping we add support for the Channel F controller. And back on topic, hopefully, CoolCV will see updated controller config to support the Adam Keyboard interface I must be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wow, awesome - thanks for doing all this! After these, for me, I think the only thing left is Voice Module support for the O2. I think I have seen separate Bally controller USB adaptors - could those be useable with the Ultimate Interface as well through a firmware update?

MeneerJansen Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Anybody know if it works on the Pi 1 yet? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 CoolCV runs on the Pi 1. I believe the performance is not that good though hence why I include AdamEM in my configuration. Give CoolCV a try on the Pi 1. Nanochess has not indicated that his next release will include performance enhancements..maybe it will but I am hoping for the keyboard mapping I believe he already worked on performance. Maybe Nanochess will chime in on this but you testing it is the best way to know as it saves Nanochess time....to work on the keyboard mapping.

For me personally AdemEm works acceptable on the Pi 1. But AdemEm is not available to everyone so I'm curious if I can recommend the Pi 1 yet to others for Colecovision classic gaming.

I would think anyone that does not own a Raspberry but is willing to get one will buy the Raspberry 2. Either way, point them to the package I have for Retropie and they could get CoolCV or AdamEM from there. Maybe they will get an Ultimate Interface also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Boot time is cut in half with the Pi 2 - that alone is enough reason to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeyou Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm having issues here. On Rpi2, I followed the instructions on the zip file. Created the rom directory. Dropped coolcv_pi in opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv Made the emulators.cfg file and dropped it in opt/retropie/configs/colecovision Placed BIOS in BIOS path (also in roms folder) Edited es_systems.cfg to point to the correct paths Set permissions and ran chmod +x on coolcv_pi When I launch a game it will load to the generic coleco bios screen no matter what rom it is.

intvdave Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) It would help if you gave more details such as showing us what you put in each file. At least the emulator is starting up so something you have must be correct. Edited January 29, 2016 by intvdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeyou Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Yah, sorry Here's the entry I placed in the es_systems.cfg http://pastebin.com/Yip0zWER And here's the runcommand entry in emulators.cfg coolcv="/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi -p /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -q %ROM%" default="coolcv_pi" Edit - I'm also using the romset from the colecovision rom project on this forum. I unzipped them and renamed them to have the .col extension. Edited January 29, 2016 by Deeyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Change the line: coolcv="/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi -p /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -q %ROM%" to coolcv="/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi %ROM%" if this does not fix it, the next step would be to look at how you renamed your ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeyou Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That did it! What was the -p doing? (Linux noob) I'll pass the word along about your site. And will zend some monetary gratitude along to nano. This is a very good emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I do not know where you got the "-p" from. Thanks for supporting nanochess. Any little bit may keep him inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeyou Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well I got the -p from the jzintv config file. I just. Copied and pasted it and edited it to point to coleco. I thought the -p was for the path to the romset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I believe my image has a coleco config file. It shows how to run CoolCV and AdamEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I just noticed that Sammy Lightfoot is not playing in the emulator. I tested this ROM in Mugrat and it worked fine, but in CoolCV on both OSX and the Pi it just goes to a black screen.

Deeyou Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Any update on the dpad mapping? F7 doesn't report the input on rpi2/retropie. I've tried numerous commands on the directional input in tje coolcv_mapping.txt and as soon as the emulator launches it deletes them. For example, up_1 key1073741906joy0_0,0,0,1 Or up_1 key1073741906joy0_h0up Or up_1 key1073741906joy0_0y+ Do not work The button mappings bind fine when done manually, however.

+nanochess Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just uploaded CoolCV v0.6.4 with support for remapping the ADAM keyboard. BTW, also included Raspberry version. I hope to correct the bugs detected in a few weeks (in special Sammy Lightfoot and the pause bug that shows trash in window) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
