CoolCV to kolejny emulator całkiem udanej i popularnej konsoli z początków lat '80 ColecoVision/Coleco Adam/Sega SG1000. Oprócz multiportowości od Pc, po Rassberry Pi a przez to wymagną bibliotekę SDL2 CoolCV oferuje np. możliwość rejestracji audio i video.
Całkiem sympatyczny program i jak w większości jego konkurentów całkowicie pozbawiony jest GUI:) Może w przyszłości...
Autor emulatora Óscar Toledo Gutiérrez, do testów, dorzuca swoją grę dla ColecoVision "Princess Quest", warto zerknąć.
