Released with a catalog of twelve launch titles, with an additional ten games announced for 1982, approximately 125 titles in total were published as ROM cartridges for the system between 1982 and 1984

I am having the same problem - i downloaded a bunch of roms - .col files and none of them show up. Please help!

I know it says to use .rom or .zip files, but all of the roms I see are .col files. Also, I tried putting the bios into the roms subfolder and even renamed it to coleco.rom but it didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
