[Coco] How to emulate a CoCo with M.E.S.S.

[Roger Taylor]

Download the Win32 version of M.E.S.S. from www.mess.org

There is no install.  Just copy the files to a folder such as 
C:\CoCo\MESS.  Click on messgui.exe.


I don't promote piracy, but I am positive that everyone emulating one of 
the MANY machines supported by M.E.S.S. are not going out and buying one of 
those impossible to find machines with no market value, and extracting the 
ROMs from them.

So here are the links to the CoCo ROMs for the M.E.S.S. system.

How do you make M.E.S.S. recognize them?  From the M.E.S.S. GUI.  Click 
OPTIONS, click DIRECTORIES, select BIOSes in the dropdown list, then click 
BROWSE and go point to your whatever directory you placed those zip files 
in.  Hopefully, you keep all of your ROMs in the same place!  I keep all of 
my M.E.S.S. ROMs in D:\MAMEROMS

The CoCo systems show up better in the Modified/Hacked folder in the GUI.
