Episode 12 - Setting up MAME to be a CoCo - Hotel Elevator Man, project updates, random talk, and more!

 

We are back for CoCo TALK #12 the nation's leading (and only) live weekly talk show about the Tandy Color Computer!

We'll talk about and demonstrate how to configure MAME to run as a Color Computer Emulator

http://mamedev.org/release.html

Which will require ROMS from the Color Computer Archive:

We'll talk about Nick Marentes' latest blog post for his game in development Gun Star

Take a look at Glen Hewlett's latest YouTube video showing his Pac-Man port to the coco compared to the real game:

Perhaps discuss our "favorite" or the "best" and "worst" CoCo emulators (all subject to individual opinion), and whatever else comes up!
