Swami Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Still doing it! PM me if you want one done. Does/can this do/does this include MSX and Amiga emulators, such as BlueMSX and FS-UAE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Retropie supports the libretro/retroarch version of bluemsx and the pi is likely too slow for fs-uae. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/MSX https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Amiga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Still doing it! PM me if you want one done. Does anyone know which emulators come with it? Is it the whole slew of them listed on the Retropie Wiki Home Page? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Colecovision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Obviously larger and much more expensive, but I wonder if you could fit an Intel NUC in a vintage ColecoVision case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Obviously larger and much more expensive, but I wonder if you could fit an Intel NUC in a vintage ColecoVision case? You could probably fit two or three NUCs in that battleship of a case. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The flashbacks have cheap cases that are pretty boring. Why not put a Raspberry Pi in an original ColecoVision case where the ColecoVision is broken beyond repair, but the case is in good condition? Because immaculate 35+ year-old cases are not plentiful as are smaller shiny-new Flashback cases.

CMR Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is a pretty neat project. You could probably do away with the Ultimate PC Interface using GPIO modules drivers for the controllers. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/GPIO-Modules/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is a pretty neat project. You could probably do away with the Ultimate PC Interface using GPIO modules drivers for the controllers. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/GPIO-Modules/ I use this GPIO module in my Ultimate Atari Joystick builds, so I am familiar enough with it to get it working for me. I'd imagine that the GPIO module should work OK for the Colecovision controllers for the directions and the primary fire button. I am not familiar enough with the Colecovision pinout (pin 5) and the GPIO driver's capability to know about the second fire button and the keypad functionality. The GPIO module is open source, so someone could update if need be. Unless I was on a tight budget, I would still use the Ultimate Flashback Interface Board since it is designed to mount right in the Flashback cases, or I'd use the Ultimate PC Interface or the 2600-daptor D9 if I was using a RPi in its own case. Nothing beats their flexibility to swap between so many different controllers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I realized after posting that it didn't support colecovision controllers. That's a shame. It would be cool if it did. I wonder if the emulator is open source? If it is then it might be possible to add colecovision controller support directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChildOfCv Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I am not familiar enough with the Colecovision pinout (pin 5) and the GPIO driver's capability to know about the second fire button and the keypad functionality. It's pretty simple. If you place a positive voltage on pin 6, you'll get positive voltage from pin 8 if the primary button (FIRE) is pressed, and pin 5 if the secondary button (ARM) is pressed. Or, as the CV sees it, it puts 2.5V on all the sample pins (including 6), then pulls down pin 8 to see if pin 6 goes low for FIRE, then pulls down pin 5 to see if pin 6 goes low for ARM. For GPIO, I'd go with the first method though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Zaros Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hello, I am super interested in this upgrade if it’s still available. Only thing is that my coleco flashback has been going black screen on me. I.e. not working. If your upgrade is still available would I have to buy a new flashback or could I pay you additionally to inspect the problem along with the upgrade? Thanks....

Lakegeorge Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 On YouTube just saw the upgrade you did on the Colecovision flashback. Was wondering if you still do this for customers that have the regular flashback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednakes1 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Can anyone post their /opt/retropi/configs/coleco/coolcv_mapping.txt file on their Ultimate Flashback? I accidentally updated my CoolCV emulator and then lost the controller mappings to Reset/Pause/Exit the emulator using the Flashback controller. Reset was: <right fire><*> Pause was: <right fire><0> Exit was: <right fire><#> But I don't know the actual mapping names for them, which is done in coolcv_mapping.txt. e.g. joy0_5 I've managed to map the above to the Right Fire + keypad buttons 4, 5, 6 instead of *, 0, # but I would rather have the original option.

Never mind, i figured it out by mounting an old backup of my SD card to an external pen drive. I’ve attached it in case anyone is interested. coolcv_mapping.txt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
