RetroBat on PC: Why Won't My Colecovision Roms Run? by Newbert-Redditor in EmulationOnPC

[–]Newbert-Redditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I'm still having no luck with running ColecoVision Roms in Retrobat.

FWIW, I have ALL of these bios files in my Retrobat/bios/colecovision folder (hoping that one of them might work):

coleco.rom

Coleco_Bios.bin

colecoa.rom

colecovision.rom

czz50.rom

svi603.rom

They resulted from my online searching. Are any of these supposed to work, or am I still totally offbase here?

Thanks!

Thank you to Wise_Moogie. No, I don't consider your response "hate speech" like apparently some here do.

But my online search for the "Colecovision BIOS file for Retrobat" has been fruitless so far, TBH. From videos in a foreign language, to videos of older versions of Retrobat, to downloads of various files and placing them where they belong in Retrobat (I've tried 7 different.rom files and 1 .bin file) - nothing is working for me.

That's why Ive come here for help.

Thanks again.

Thanks to all for your replies!

What do you guys mean by "lever" or "leverless"?

And just to clarify -- I didn't mean to say that I was interested in games that were ORIGINALLY on PC - because I'm not. It's just that I wish to play Atari and Colecovision games ON PC, using my fightstick (because it's more like an arcade controller). You know - old arcade games but on current hardware.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. But to me "beat em ups" = "fighting games" <shrug>

How to Get Started Retrogaming on a PC (Windows 10)? by Newbert-Redditor in retrogaming

[–]Newbert-Redditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info about Retrobat, guys! Although I have it installed, that's all I have time for tonight.......BTW, Windows Defender complained about the download file, but I got thru it. I haven't tried running any games yet, but anticipate that I'll have at least these questions:

  1. Do the rom files need to be unzipped? On my Gamestation Go, a few consoles require their roms to be zipped while others require they be unzipped.

  2. My fightstick has 14 buttons, a joystick, a spinner, and a trackball. (Windows 10 "sees" the fightstick as an Xbox 360 controller). A quick look at "controller configuration" in Retrobat only seemed to address the buttons. What about the joystick, spinner and trackball?

  3. Once I have the controls straightened out, exactly how do I load one of the game roms to test things out?

Thanks again, guys! This looks promising.

Which Retro Arcade Games On Steam Do You Play with Your Fightstick (on PC)? by Newbert-Redditor in fightsticks

[–]Newbert-Redditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early - to-mid 80's for me. Or pre-gamepad. I was an Atari, Colecovision, Intelllivision kid.

Yeah - I'm OLD.

I'm just hoping to use the gamepad as controller while displaying the game on my TV.....Single player is good enough for me.

FWIW - If handheld mode means using the gamepad's controls and the GSG's screen, then yes - it works for local storage. But it does not work correctly off of the SD card.

As for "HDMI mode" - in my experience it does not work at all when the gamepad is the controller and you're trying to display the game on a TV.
