HotMommasCowboy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 My ColEm stopped working in Launchbox, and I've been playing around trying to figure it out. I put the emu in full screen and now I am unable to get to the menu bar. Does anyone have any idea how I can get it out of full screen mode so I can get to the top menu bar back? Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 hmm I don't remember I haven't used it in a while I would suggest swapping it out for MAME the command line you need for the Associated Platform in MAME is coleco -cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotMommasCowboy Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 @DOS76 Thanks DOS76. Doesn't MAME need the files to be .zip? If so, I no longer have the .zip files for my coleco games. If not, I have MAME 0.188B and MAME ui64. Is there a preferred one I should use for colecovision? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 no you can load regualar roms for systems in MAME as long as the coleco bios files are in with your MAME ROMs in LB you do have to make sure that don't use quotes and use file names are not checked in your MAME emulator settings in LB or it won't work.

HotMommasCowboy Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 10-4. Thanks. I'll give it a shot in the morning. Between Daphne and American Laser Games and spending most of my day finally getting them set up, I'm wore out!! Thanks again DOS76. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for any advice. You should be able to press and hold the Alt key, then press the Enter key. That works here with Colem 4.2 for Windows.

HotMommasCowboy Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 @dragon57 Thanks. I’ll give that a shot in the morning. I don’t remember how I set up everything the first time. Do you have any tips on how I can get ColEm to see where my .col files are? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To set the directory where your games are, add this to the command line: -home <dirname> So a sample, full line would be something like this: colem [-option1 [-option2...]] [filename] Edited January 27, 2018 by dragon57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
