Hello everyone!!!
Look, i have a (very) old laptop and an ADAM ColecoVision...I want to play ColecoVision games on the laptop, but I can't find a ColecoVision emulator for DOS!!!
The best one I found was ADAMEM, but I don't know which command to use!!! I already yused "-os7" and it didn't work...it gave me a blank screen...I REALLY WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES WHILE I GO IN THE CAR!!! :P
Thanx!!! ;)

PS: I don't care about the system requirements of the emulator...I will try it anyways...

Well for a start i don`t think playing gmes on a laptop while you are driving is particularly good idea, thats how accidents happen . . . .

Well, none worked...they froze, "386 or higher", but the main problem was that they said to turn off the game before inserting a cartdridge??? what do I do here???
Thanx all!!! ;)

Well, never mind...the laptop broke...now it doesn't let me use it if it's not connected to electricity, and it says that it fails booting from floppy...(I tried 2 floppies...)
Thanx all... :'(
