Colevovision does not load.

Perhaps I'll do that.

I'll have a play with compiling colem from source on ubuntu and see how that goes.
Might even write a module if I have time.

I should also give coolcv a try, just to see what the problem is.

@Neo-Rio I vaguely remember us not pursing colem or maybe adamem because of licencing:

Not that you can't install it on your pi or make an install module but I don't know if we'd be able to include it with retropie, would have to ask the author. Also don't know if it requires x. We host a coolcv binary for the pi but I don't think we do for x86 which may be why it's disabled but I'm sure there is a PC build on the Atariage forum

@mediamogul .ROM and .COL. Is this ok? They work on other emulators fine.

[alortegac]

@edmaul69 I have installed it from binary through "manage optional Packages"....Still is not starting up. thanks!

[edmaul69]

@alortegac are you saying you installed advmess? If so i have to walk you through getting it to work as it does not work by default.

[alortegac]

Not sure what is advmess? I installed coolcv package from set up option.

[edmaul69]

@alortegac im sorry. I think i replied to the wrong person.

[edmaul69]

@alortegac my coleco.rom is in /opt/retropie/configs/rom/coleco/ . I dont have one in bios. Try putting it there and give it 0777 permissions. I think it is an advmess/mame location but thats where i have it. I am doing a search to try to find any other locations i have it in.

@edmaul69 I tried to install coolcv on the retropie setup but I keep on getting these errors

Error running 'tar -xv -z -C
/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv --stripped components 1' -returned 2

Unable to install binary for coolcv.

What should I do?
