Colecovision emulator for the PS2.
An updated in 2016 version of Jum's PS2 port of the "COLEM" Colecovision emulator.
This version is coded to run from OPL as a PS2 game image ISO.
It has been tested with many game images and almost all run fine.
I'd say about 95% of the games are playable.
A Compatibility List is included with the download, as well as pertinent instructions for naming structure and more.

ColemPS2 is (heavily) based on Marat Fayzullin's "Colem" "portable" Colecovision emulator source code, so thankful credits are due to Marat.
Credits to the writers of the Colecovision tech docs, and the writers of the MESS Colecovision source code.
Many thanks to madcow (UniqueUserName) for motivating me to update ColemPS2, and for all his testing, glitch reports, and feedback.
Thanks to Guichi for the menu/select screen backdrop art. His name is off the bottom of the screen in NTSC mode.
Greets to all psx devers and ps2 devers.
