http://atariage.com/forums/topic/203851-super-game-module-technical-forum/ http://www.colecovision.dk/sem.htm?refreshed Games and Homebrew like Buck Rogers Super Game (MD5: d183ac7dadfe6c2d561a45bf78d0c849) require this. Is it possible to implement this feature into ColecoHawk core?

So someone made their own hardware add on to expand the capabilities of the ColecoVision? Now that is serious commitment. The memory management stuff looks easy. I'll need to find out about the sound chip though. I wouldn't expect this to happen anytime soon however.

Maybe this can help? Found this too, it's seems to have a "Pro" model: Link to video

Ok so the original one has the same sound chip as Intellivision, not sure about the 'pro' version. Should be easy enough to implement.

I have made the initial commits to ColecoHawk to add Super Game Module functionality (as well as Mega Cart compatibility needed for many of the same games.) The sound from the SGM won't work yet though. I need to refactor some stuff in order for it to be combined with the existing sound output from the core. But for now game functionality can be tested. NOTE: you need to select the option in the colecovision menu in order to enable the SGM.

Ok I finished adding audio. Along with that I refactored the core a bit to make it function closer to the other in house cores. Please test for regressions.
