The cartridge is ready to use. Files are organized into alphabetical and numeric folders for easy menu navigation with the controller.

Compatible with most commercial games and some homebrew titles. Also compatible with some homebrew titles up to 128k that require the Opcode Super Game Module. The cartridge has nearly 15MB of onboard storage, which is more than enough to hold every Colecovision game ever created with room to spare. No memory card is needed.

Circuit board with beveled edge for reduced wear on Colecovision cartridge connector

PiColeco bugs/minor issues

Some titles will require pressing the reset button on the Colecovision after the loading screen before the game will start. The current firmware is not compatible with all games. The "turn power off" screen can display briefly before the PiColeco splash screen after powering up the system and after a reset.

Please note that technical support is not available beyond the information that is included in the provided user guide. The user guide contains information on using the PiColeco as well as several resources for support.

We take as much care as possible when 3D printing the cartridge case but sometimes there may be blemishes in the prints.
