Recently I have discovered several vibrant Colecovision groups on Facebook. I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on the #ColecoJam, with 600 likes in one group!

@cogliano.bsky.social@cogliano.bsky.socialI've been working on Super Game Module and MegaCart support for #ColecoJam. This will allow more homebrew and arcade quality games to be played on this #Colecovision emulator. A beta version is now available at github.com/cogliano/Ada...
@cogliano.bsky.socialCan’t. Stop. Doing. It.
@cogliano.bsky.socialThis is very cool!
@cogliano.bsky.socialHappy #Oktoberfest month! This is a card design I did a few years ago for an #accordion themed deck of cards. Bonus points if you can guess the song on the flag.
@cogliano.bsky.socialIt was the bundled game when I bought my #Colecovision back in the early 80s. I just recently released a Colecovision emulator called #ColecoJam that runs on an @adafruit.com #FruitJam.

@cogliano.bsky.socialWelcome to #ColecoJam, a #Colecovision emulator for the @adafruit.com #FruitJam. The project includes the emulator, a cartridge reader and a 3D printed case (video includes title screen in the upcoming release). #RetroGames

@cogliano.bsky.socialI’m happy with my first attempt at a 3d printed case for the #ColecoJam. It still needs a few tweaks but I’m closer than I thought I would be. #ColecoVision @adafruit.com #FruitJam.
@cogliano.bsky.socialThe emulator also supports physical Colecovision cartridges.
@cogliano.bsky.socialCheck out my credit card sized Colecovision emulator #ColecoJam in my feed.
@cogliano.bsky.socialI would love to see more community projects like this one.
@cogliano.bsky.socialThis is really interesting: a recent community project where a #Colecovision "Mr. Do" cartridge was disassembled, enhanced with improved sound, graphics, sprites and more, and re-assembled into a new cartridge/ROM version with the name "Mr. Do Arcade". It also works with #ColecoJam.

@cogliano.bsky.socialThe Fruit Jam now runs a #Colecovision emulator too, with #ColecoJam.

@cogliano.bsky.socialAdding a screen saver to the next release of #ColecoJam, the #Colecovision emulator for the @adafruit.com #FruitJam. I thought I add this short transition instead of just enabling the screensaver.
@cogliano.bsky.socialOh my! Hope you get better soon.
@cogliano.bsky.social@cogliano.bsky.socialThe menu update was the last thing on my to-do list. Hopefully that will be it for a while.
@cogliano.bsky.socialHi Frank! The new button 1 feature should not interfere with the bootLoader's button 1 usage. Claude adjusted its' code for it.
@cogliano.bsky.socialIn the latest version of my #Colecovision emulator, #ColecoJam, I have added a logo to the cartridge menu, and now pressing button 1 on the @adafruit.com #FruitJam while in a game will return immediately to the cartridge menu, no reboot required.
@cogliano.bsky.socialBack in the day when defining 256 × 192 pixels as "high resolution" was a valid statement.
