The Unofficial Cologne is a fork of Cologne with compression support.

It is a Gameboy Advance emulator of the Colecovision, a system in many ways similar to the Sega Master System. Created before the great 80s video game crash, Colecovision for a time was a strong competetor to Atari's stronghold on home video gaming.

Installation

The compression support is rather trivial, as Colecovision ROMs are very small (32KB or less).

To compress a ROM you need Python installed and apack.exe in the same folder as cap.py.

Then use: cap.py rom.col rom.cap

This form is usable with Pogoshell with the appropriate entry:

  • cap 1 cologne.bin 2
  • cap 1 cologne.mbz 2

To decompress cap files use: uncap.py rom.cap rom.col

For older compressed cap files (from Kuwanger's v0.5 fork) use: uncap-old.py rom.cap rom.col

Note: In order to run games, you must supply a BIOS when using the rom builder.
