To approximate the behavior of the original Coleco Adam as closely as possible,
we have modified the method for handling ROMs, Tapes, and Disks using the buttons that
are also present on the original hardware.
The revised workflow is as follows:
Media Load & Run: Load the desired media (ROM, Tape, or Disk) and subsequently
press the corresponding RESET button to initiate the media:
- Use the 'CARTRIDGE RESET' button to start ColecoVision ROMs.
- Use the 'COMPUTER RESET' button to start Adam-specific media (Tapes and Disks).
Full Media Unload:
- To fully release or unload all currently mounted media (ROMs/Tapes/Disks),
press the 'POWER' button.
We have implemented a paddle function. If a joystick has been selected, the user can verify
the functionality of their analog stick using the small keypad widget. To play a game requiring
a paddle,
The user must select the paddle mode in the menubar.
When activated, the left and right cursor keys are replaced by the left/right axis input from the analog stick.
