I'm trying to get this to a point where I don't need a keyboard to play coleco games at all. None of the docs I've read had provided what I need. A latency-hating emulator of 8- and 16-bit platforms: the Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, Apple II/II+/IIe and early Macintosh, Atari 2600 and ST, ColecoVision, Enterprise 64/128, Commodore Vic-20, MSX 1, Oric 1/Atmos, Sega Master System, Sinclair ZX80/81 and ZX Spectrum. What I think I really need I think is the complete list of all the possible joystick mapping codes (joy0_1, joy0_2, etc) in a list somewhere, and I just can't find it. Has anybody done this? Or at least have some idea how to map the analog stick positions?Īlso, any idea how to get coolcv to let the controller use Select+Save to exit the emulator like everything other emulator? I can get single-button presses to exit the emulator, but that's obviously not ideal. And to top it off, the coolcv emulator wants to try and use the left analog stick for control, and I can't figure out how to override it. So I tried reproducing this mapping to RetroPie/CoolCV, and I've gotten as far as being able to map all the buttons on the PS3 controller (I even got two controllers to work), but I can't for the life of me figure out how to map the analog sticks in the coolcv_mapping.txt file. The reason I like using the analog sticks for the numbers is that they suck for control in the Coleco emulator anyway, so they are essentially unused, and there happens to be 10 positions to correspond to the keypad - so all the numbers are easily available. The rest is the obvious stuff - DPad buttons for control, and standard PS3 buttons for the action buttons It should run most ColecoVision games and supports Colecos SuperAction controllers with spin wheels. The mapping I came up with is the following: ColEm is a portable emulator of the old ColecoVision videogame console.

I came up with a mapping for Coleco that I like for my PS3 controller using OpenEmu on my Mac.

The obvious challenge with Coleco controllers is the number pad. I got a Raspberry Pi recently and have been enjoying setting it up with RetroPi, and I'm particularly interested in getting the Coleco emulator fully working.
