Hi All,

Here is a new version of PSPColem the Colecovision Emulator for PSP.

For those who haven't seen previous versions, ColEm is one of the best emulator of the ColecoVision videogame system written by Marat Fayzullin. It's running on FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, and other Unix systems. PSPColem is a port to PSP of Colem (Unix version 1.0).

This version supports IRDA-Joystick box designed by my good friend Buzz
( see http://buzz.computer.free.fr for details).
If you have any electronic skills you may design your own for less than 20$ ! The Schematic and the PIC source code is provided in contrib folder of zip archive.

For those who have never heard about IRDA joystick project, the goal was to connect your old DB9 joystick (compatible with Atari , Amiga, Amstrad etc ...) or a paddle device to your PSP FAT. Buzz has written the driver and designed the PCB and programmed the PIC micro-controller, while i was in charge of emulator enhancements.

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

What's new in version 1.0.8 :

- Save state files are now saved using gzip compression
(with STZ as file extention). It's much faster to save

You can use gzip or 7-zip to convert old STA to STZ.

convert your previous saved files inside the emulator.
- Save state dates are displayed in the emulator window
(it's now easier to identify and to load the right save state slot)
- New graphical functions with new smoother render modes.
It uses the PSP GPU for rendering, it does not run faster,
but it's a lot smoother.
- Add a new fullscreen option (render mode max)
- Bug fix in Rom file requester
- Multiple keyboard mapping feature (Thanks to Pou-chan) :
You can now toggle between three differents keyboard mapping using
L/R Trigger keys

Hi All,

ColEm is one of the best emulator of the ColecoVision videogame system written by Marat Fayzullin. It's running on FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, and other Unix systems.

There are also ports to MacOS, MSDOS, Windows, OS/2, PocketPC and other
systems. See http://fms.komkon.org/ColEm/ for further informations.

I've sucessfully modified, and port the source code of the Unix version 1.0 of ColEm.
It's now working fine on PSP !

It has been developped on linux for Firmware 2.5 using the great GTA eloader (0.97) from http://www.fanjita.org/, but it should work properly on other firmwares. I've integrated a 1.5FW binary version (kxploit).

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

It's a first beta release and work still remain (sound support, save state etc ...)

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public licence, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

pspcolem-v1.0.1.zip

PS: Special thanks to Danzel and Jeff Chen for their virtual keyboard, and to all PSPSDK developpers.

Enjoy,
