braheezy · 10h ago

Hi all! I've been working on a colecovision emulator and it's finally stable and accurately running most ROMs I've tried. I wrote this to learn more about emulation and Zig, and picked the colecovision because it's underrepresented in the hobby community (at least on GitHub). There were a couple times I almost quit because I was so stuck but I'm glad I stuck with it. Thanks for reading and hope you can check it out!!
