If you thought that homebrew developer alekmaul has forgotten about ColecoDS, his own take on the ColecoVision emulator for the Nintendo DS, then think again - he's just rolled out another version that should keep your emulating happy flowing. Check out the full article for all the details, and why you should look into this nifty piece of homebrew.

The Colecovision is one ancient gaming console. So ancient that I myself don't have any recollection of seeing one at home. All I know is that I remember playing that fun penguin game [points to above picture] when I was a kid. Well, sentiments aside, we're still happy that emulators of the present still revive the past.

The last time we've heard about alekmaul's ColecoDS was way back in August. And back then, he hit the third spot from the top of  the NDS apps for the Neoflash Summer Coding Competition 2006. Now, his homebrew Coleco emulator is up at version 1.1 and it's gotten more support. Here's what he's been able to do so far:

• Add NinjaDS support (tested) and Max Media, EZ4 (not tested)
• Add G6Lite support with GBFS

He's asking for you guys to report any bugs and other issues, and if you do, he even promises to put your name into the "Special Thanks" screen in the next version.

Alekmaul has released an adaptation of ColEm (portable ColecoVision emulator by Marat Fayzullin.) for the Nintendo DS. He says that this is the first version, that the sound is not emulated, and the pallete is a little dark.

The ColecoVision was, in the early 1980's, one of the best game console systems available. It provided rich graphics and had the best accuracy in games translated from the stand-up arcade machines. Here is a picture for those of you who prefer a visual:
