PocketColeco - In the golden age of the first family consoles, ColecoVision was a great commercial success. It represent a great step forward compared to the Atari VCS 2600 when it came to graphics and sound. What's more they had the great idea of shipping with Donkey Kong negotiated with Nintendo.
It needs to be said that it provides a good old Z80A at 3.58MHz, 8 kilobytes of RAM and a true OS (with the Atari you had to tackle hardware directly...) A video processor managing 16 kilobytes of RAM to complete the package.
To emulate all this on an actual Pocket PC doesn't pose any insurmountable technical problem, I recall that the resolution of the ColecoVision was 256x192 pixels. It's all done by this excellent program that I recommend to anyone with a nostalgia of this machine, as the ROMs are extremely easy to find.
Notes:
1. These zips contain .exe files compiled for PDAs. They must be manually copied to your device.
2. Roms must be located under "My Documents", or one of its subdirectories. If you are placing roms on a CF card, create a directory of this name first.
3. You must have a copy of the GAPI library file "gx.dll" in your PDA's /windows directory. There are various versions of this file, depending on the device. These files can be found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/pocketpc/downloads/gapi12.zip
4. In case you really mess things up, and can't remember what you did...delete the file "Pocketcoleco.set" from your PDA's root directory!
