How to use colecoDS :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU MUST USE THE DLDI PATCHER BEFORE USING THE NDS FILE. Please, patch the file with 
the correct drivers regarding your linker (i give you the windows GUI for easy patch).
Copy ColecoDS.nds, after patching it, in a directory on your flashcard / SD / MMC card.
Put your col or rom games where you want. You can't have more than 255 ROMS at the same time.

That's all, ColecoDS can now be execute :) !

Controls (both Player 1 and 2) :
 * Direction pad and A / B : Coleco pad and button 1 / 2
 * With the stylus, you can simulate the coleco controller (0 to 9 buttons, * and #) 
showned on the lower screen.
 * SELECT is the same that the #2 KEYPAD
 * START is the same that the #2 KEYPAD
 
You can also click on :
 * RESET to reset the current game and restart it from the begining
 * END GAME to end the current game and return to the game selection
 * SAVE STATE to save the current state of the playing game (the filename will be the 
   same than the game with .STA extension)
