The Unofficial Cologne is a fork of Cologne with compression support.
It is a Gameboy Advance emulator of the Colecovision, a system in many ways similar to the Sega Master System. Created before the great 80s video game crash, Colecovision for a time was a strong competetor to Atari's stronghold on home video gaming.
Installation
The compression support is rather trivial, as Colecovision ROMs are very small (32KB or less).
To compress a ROM you need Python installed and apack.exe in the same folder as cap.py.
Then use: cap.py rom.col rom.cap
This form is usable with Pogoshell with the appropriate entry:
cap 1 cologne.bin 2cap 1 cologne.mbz 2
To decompress cap files use: uncap.py rom.cap rom.col
For older compressed cap files (from Kuwanger's v0.5 fork) use: uncap-old.py rom.cap rom.col
Note: In order to run games, you must supply a BIOS when using the rom builder.
