You can say, do I need an original and upgraded
ColecoVision with more RAM and avanced Graphics and Sound. ?
In this case, will this new and upcoming ColecoVision Super Game Module version 2 be hard to come
by. :)
The new Super Game Module version 2 from Opcode Games
& Electronics, is a
new hardware for use with our ColecoVision video game console.
It is a talented team of good people in Brazil there is working together
with Opcode Games & Electronics.
The hardware in the SGM2 version is Eduardo's
product under his own label.
Opcode Games' plan is now to produce an even
more advanced module, with HDMI Out.
HDMI Out is not just for SGM2 compatible games, but for ANY ColecoVision
game.
The HDMI Out is from the SGM2 Module only.
If you still want your RF Output, you can do so, still from CV, SGM1 and
SGM2.
The new hardware from Opcode Games is almost a complete
Video Game System, and VSC1 is the first custom-designed chip
designed specifically for the ColecoVision
inside the SGM2, and can only work
together with the original ColecoVision.
So this little wonder is called SGM2, that means that this version
needs to be plugged in your original ColecoVision via the Expansion slot, just like
SGM1, and do not work as a stand alone product.
All upcoming games from Opcode Games will work both on ColecoVision and
the Phoenix VGS
format.
The game automatically detects your hardware and adjusts video
and audio features accordingly.
Upcoming games from Opcode Games is SGM2 Supported, which means you can
still enjoy them using your SGM1, and when you feel it is time to
upgrade, you will already have a sizeable collection of SGM2 compatible
games!
Opcode Games will upgrade the ColecoVision to
mid-80's arcade-level quality, and will use technology consistent with the late 80's.
The plan is to create a natural evolution of the ColecoVision hardware,
with components that are backward compatible and similar in architecture to
the original ColecoVision chipset.
AVDP Graphics and APSG Audio:
Super smooth scrolling being generated from the new hardware.
Two sprite modes, legacy and the new Arcade Sprites.
Arcade Sprites mode offers twice the color depth, allowing for three
colors per sprite.
Twice as many sprites onscreen are now possible in Arcade Sprites mode,
doubling the sprites from 32 to 64.
Limitation in number of sprites per scan line was addressed and removed
from both the new Arcade Sprites mode and the legacy sprites modes, so
ALL ColecoVision games can now be enjoyed free of sprite flickering!
Color selection has been vastly improved. Now up to 80 different colors
can be display onscreen simultaneously, selectable from a range of 4096
available colors.
The new Video Processor Unit VPU, a kind of graphics co-processor, can
change video settings on the fly based on scan line or column positions.
The VSC1 also includes a robust Advanced Programmable Sound Generator
APSG.
Not only is it expanded from three to nine channels, but, for the first
time, each channel can be programmed with a different waveform in order
to simulate distinct instruments such as drums.
Expect wall-rattling explosions and even crisp, clear digitized voice!
So it is a significant upgrade in terms of sound and opportunities.
And in a combination together with the new
SGM2, is a new cartridge PCB for all new and upcoming games from Opcode
Games ready.
This new PCB are named Super Game Cartridge 2 or just
SGC2.
SGC2 PCB stores the main ROM, Logic and the Save Game Features.
SGC2 is powered with a very avanced Bank switching and with Save features be a lot advanced.
The
Save function is based on EEPROM, with data retention of 100 years and
endurance of 1 million write cycles.
With that means you are able to play the game 1 million times on
average before the EEPROM fails.
Many new programmers has opened their eyes for the Super Game Module,
both for version 1 and now for version 2.
Version 1 can't handle the French ColecoVision Sound. (Round 1 and Round
2).
They already know they can detect the 24 kb. of RAM, and the AY sound chip
in SGM1 for a nice and different sound than we were used to.
Some programmers are skilled at combining the SN and AY sound chips for
even more varied sound.
But the ultimate Stereo sound will undoubtedly come from the new SGM2.
Edit, Not confirmed.
Programmers don't need to stop at the 32kb. barrier.
Is the game bigger than the 32kb., is Opcode Games & Electronics ready with both the
MegaCart1, (MC1) and the Super Game Cartridge (SGC1).
MegaCart1 supports both ColecoVision and the Super Game Module.
Same for Super Game Cartridge 2, this will also work for the original ColecoVision
and the Phoenix VGS.
Eduardo at Opcode Games has already ported several games from
the previous
MSX1 and Sega SG-1000 titles, and some of those are already available for our ColecoVision
for years.
Previous games released under the Opcode Games label is: Space Invaders Collection, Sky
Jaguar, Yie Ar Kung-Fu I and II, Magical Tree, Road Fighter, Pac-Man Collection,
Gradius and Penguin Adventure.
They are all hard to come by, but you don't need to fear.
From now on, all
Opcode Games releases will support the SGM2.
The entire back catalog from Opcode Games will also be re-released with
support for the SGM2 features.
There are also plans for a Remasters series,
upgrading those original ColecoVision classics to support the new SGM2
features.
Remasters series games will be offered as perks exclusively to Opcode
Club members. You can also expect some 3rd party support to be announced
soon.
Non released, but originally planned was new
versions of: Galaga, Super Hang On,
Hyper Rally, Time Pilot, Lady Bug, Frogger, Popeye, Pengo, DKA, Pac-Man
DX, Space Invaders DX and Track &
Field 2.
Eduardo do also convert games for CollectorVision Games and Team
Pixelboy.
Some with the SGM features, and also many before the SGM came out, those
will also be re-released with the SGM features.
Opcode Games went back to the drawing board and changed a few things
based on feedback:
1) The SGM2 was too "alien", with a separate cartridge format.
2) Analog video only is kind of bummer.
3) ColecoVisions are too unreliable, an attached plugin module will
only make that worse.4) VDP can
output digital, but the problem is the ColecoVision, which is analog
only.
5) It is still a plugin module, but with no proprietary cartridge or
anything, and HDMI output.
Opcode Games will post an announcement once they have the updated
system designed.

The SGM2 releases in late 2023 at an estimated retail
price of less than $150,-
DKA will probably be sold
around 2023, and probably cost around $ 70,- each plus
shipping.
As opportunities are now, you will have a
combined system consisting of your existing ColecoVision, as well as an
advanced expansion module.
You keep your original classic ColecoVision and with expansions, you will have access to
all new extended ColecoVision Super Games.
ColecoVision.dk has nothing to do with the sale and
production of the Super Game Module 2, nor even the Super Game Cartridge.

The SGM Module 1 and 2 belongs to Opcode Games & Electronics.
