C.o.G is a Colecovision emulator written by TheHiVE. This emulator features superb compatibility, with sound, and configurable controls.

The emulator also comes with an easy-to-use injector. However, as the emulator has no menu system, you have to create one binary per game. Although inconvenient, the up-side of this is that Colecovision games are small, so each binary tends to be under 100k.

Changelog

0.9.7

  • Reorganized VRAM and VDP rendering functions
  • Rewrote and optimized VDP register handler
  • Changes to injection process, to provide support for Pogoshell. Known ROMs are listed in binary and identified by CRC.

0.9.6'"

  • Fixed VDP BL - No more mode switch glitches - video builds 'silently'.
  • Fixed NMI - Interrupt should only be generated when the interrupt line changes from low to high. This fixes Pitfall! and other assorted ROMs.
    • Note: This is contrary to Sean Young's TMS9918a documentation.
  • Modification to injector so that multiple binaries can be created simultaneously.
