For many years now I have been porting emulators by other others to macOS. Mugrat marks my first attempt at writing one of my own, in this case to emulate the Colecovision. The hardware in question is quite possibly the simplest machine to be built around the Z80 processor, which makes it simple to emulate. Maybe I'll try something more complicated for my next project!

Colecovision Emulator Mac Os X
The project uses a modular design based around a Z80 core emulator class library. The rest of the Sega-specific emulation is implemented in another class library, and the user interface is implemented as a separate application. This...
Ican still remember running the DOS port of ColEm way back in the day (I think I discovered it just as the Nintendo 64 was coming out, so it would have been the summer of 1996). Soon enough after that, Colecovision emulation was pretty much perfected, and development of most of the emulators slowed to a halt.
For me the ubuntu binaries from the ColEm download site works fine - however you'll need to use a trick to get it working successfully. Also I found some great retro ROMs that work great with this emulator.
When a ROM game or application is in the database, the emulator uses the databases to apply the correct mapper. If the sha1 value of a dump is not yet in the databases, it uses an automatic mapper detection system, but it can fail in some cases. In this situation, you can manually select the correct mapper.
I have installed CoolCV on a Raspberry 2 using Retropie 2.6. The emulator works fine with sound and joysticks. Are you using version 0.6.1 or 0.6.2 of the emulator? I tried both of these. 0.6.2 gives you full screen.
Instructions:Click on the game window and hit the ENTER key to start Defender (you might have to hit start twice) . On a computer you can click the Zoom to expand the game to a larger size. On mobile phones and Iphone use the gameplay control buttons shown on your screen (only on mobile) to play and start the game. If you grew up in the 80's you shouldn't need additional gameplay instructions. Sorry, no sound on mobile devices in this NES emulator. 2ff7e9595c
