This is a ColecoVision emulator for the Nintendo DS.
To use this emulator, you must have compatibles ROMS with .ROM extension.
Also, you must have the colecovision BIOS named COLECO.ROM
Do not ask me about ROMS, I don't have them. A search with Google will certainly help you.

This version is FOR USE ONLY on MK2 or MK3. It use the special functionnality of the SD card to store the games and the savestates.
I have fully tested it on MK2 and MK3(thanks Neoflash for it ) with V0.6beta 2.
Also, I can work on lots of flashcard with the GBFS system (like MK1 cards).

Features :
----------
Most things you should expect from an emulator.
Ingame progress saving.
Sounds.

Missing :
---------
Sounds are not very nice in some games, I will inprove them ... soon :°...
The menu will be change with my futur generic arcade menu for all my emulators
All that is not yet emulated

Well, this takes me on a trip down memory lane. When I was younger I used to own a colecovision adam computer and play some of the games this emulator supports. I kind of enjoy reliving some of my youth through this system. Awwww crap, I am talking like an old man, I better not continue like this.

Anyway, all nostalgaeia aside, I believe that the one thing the nintendo ds homebrew scene is lacking at this point would be emulators and even emulators for ancient console/computer systems are quite welcome.

Hello

I didnt knew that there is a 256x192 pixel console beside Master System.

Thx for that nice homebrew.

Works fine on Supercard SD

Edit:The only pain is to scroll trough 100+ roms,maybe u can add page up/down (with maybe left-right on D-Pad) in the rom browser.
