Did you know that:
AtariSoft games did not use Coleco BIOS calls.
The ColecoVision BIOS was avoided by AtariSoft programmers.
It was slower than using your own code, so it was much easier and/or
quicker to just write your own routines.
AtariSoft paid another company to carry out the necessary code.
So, not using ColecoVision's BIOS was insurance that AtariSoft could not
be successfully sued by Coleco Industries.
If Coleco had decided to sue Atari for developing and/or publishing
ColecoVision games in the 80's without a license, then Atari was more likely to win.

Ralf at
www.retro-modding.de says: "After the
ColecoVision Stereo/Surround mod have we now implemented the best pause
mod ever."
By pressing # and * on keypad, the system pauses switching off video and
audio and a built in screensaver will start.
Pushing same button combination again continue gameplay. The power LED
switches from Blue to Yellow during pause mode. No need for any hole
drilling.
Together with hidden power LED retro at it's best. (power LED only visible
if console is switched on). Professional pcb 2x2 inch in size.
Pictures and technical details on
www.retrovideogamer.co.uk (Ralf/Youtube).
Ralf signed a contract with a reseller there will be able to deliver consoles worldwide. Av and
Stereo Surround included. "Watch out for ebay auctions, too".
Also a Steering wheel adapter (PS3 to ColecoVision) will arrive later as
Bluetooth adapters for PS3 Controllers to ColecoVision, It have a higher priority in
development.
Last but not least: Ralf found a suitable ColecoVision power supply
replacement (external) delivering the required 3 Voltages and able to be
connected from 110 to 230v.
No need for internal power supply mods of alternate connectors on the
console, keeping your original console intact.
Production of adapter will start soon, the power supply has one year
warranty.

Eduardo at OpCode Games is still not back on track,
rumors says april.
His site is still active, but rumors says he is back in Brazil.
He is the owner of the ColecoVision Super Game Module.
There are today only sold about 100 to 200 units.
The sale is stopped, but the need is big, very big!.
But as long as nothing happens from Eduardo's
hand, the suppliers of the games will not support the project at the
moment.
Super Games for use with the Super Game Module will therefore not be
supported from Team Pixelboy and CollectorVision.
When and if Eduardo returns to his project, will games again be produced
that supports the module.
An opportunity for new SGM games is that, Eduardo is launching these Super
Games he already has made for our ColecoVision, namely:
Donkey Kong Arcade, Goonies and Knightmare.

Brian Ciesicki has a plan. He need $17,000 to make a
prototype of his idea.
"To confirm, I talked about this to Colecovision and they said they'll
make it if I can show a prototype of it working."
The device is a way to turn any old game into an old online game, without
reprogramming the game with traditional network methods.
His secret is to use a low-ping connection, like Sprint Direct Connect.
The range is limited, but the limit is pretty big.
"You've got an approximately 2400 km range between the farthest 2
people in a 60 frame/second controller read rate game".
"The range doubles in a 30 FPS game and triples in a 20 FPS game".
