I’ve updated the Atari VCS (MA2601) and the Colecovision port for the MiST with scanline support.
Grab it from the google project page.

Thanks alot for the quick updates!
Would it be difficult to add an option to disable the scan doubler (but keep it RGBHV)? That would work great with an external upscaler.
Its no problem to disable the scan doubler but dunno about the output format. Its what the core provides native and its beyond my capabilities to change that.
Yes, just keep the format the core provides now, and it should work.
Thanks for the scanlines support for the 3 cores, great !
Just received my Mist essentially to play Coleco games. Thank you for your cores.
Strangely, my joystick works with your latest a2600 core (and NES core) but not for your latest Coleco core. Is something that I missed ? Is an “enable joystick” for Coleco somewhere ?
Thank you
i tried 3 joysticks and all the USB ports.
A2600 core works with them but not Coleco one.
Are they use a different joystick implementation ?
The’re a little different. I swapped the joystick in the A2601 core because the new user_io from Till seems to behave differently. This wasn’t done with the Colecovision. The problem is that depending on how many joysticks are connected and where the internal mapping for the cores changes. See here for an explanation: https://code.google.com/p/mist-board/wiki/Peripherals (USB vs. atari style joysticks …).
Did you try with an old 9 pin joystick or just USB?
I’ll probably revise the Colecovision port and move it out of the pacedev framework. In that turn I can change that or add an option to swap the two internal ports.
Great ! The DB9 joystick works well.
Thank you for the advice.
It should work out of the box. Not sure if I used another user_io class there recently so try to use another joystick port.
Great ! It works with DB9 joystick.
Thank you.
Thank you for the great console cores ported to the MiST. The Colecovision core supports 15khz. How about the Atari 2600 core, does it too?
No it doesn’t (yet). It was one of my first port to the MiST and it didn’t get much love since then.
Any news on this core? I would like to enjoy games like Dig Dug, one of my favorite versions 🙂 Thanks!
Nothing recently as time is low for my hobby 🙁
Which core do you mean (2600 or colecovision)?
2600 core 🙂 , Colecovision is outstanding, except Mario Bros (http://cvaddict.com/profile.php?gameid=142) and some new megarom games I haven’t found any problem. I play it a lot!.
Hi,
Thank you for your great work!
I have problems to run Pitfall 2 on the 2600 core – can you make it work? Or do I have to use a special config for this?
Thanks,
Mike
Afaik pitfall 2 uses some additional hardware inside the cartridge which isn’t implemented in the core. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to look at it right now.
Thanks, WiSo!
If you find the time to work at it, I volunteer to test!
Mike
