History

In 1996, in the time where finaly Coleco emulators appear and rom files was available, the first Colecovision homebrew games did appear too. Meanwhile, I was trying to build my own tools and one of them was named VOIROM ( fusion of two words : VOIR (SEE) and ROM ). My first version was written in QuickBASIC 4.5 and released on my web site. Someone you know did use it and makes Winky Trap. Changing colors was in the program, but at that time I was unable to help him. Years later, I did try to rewrite it for Windows, and at that time I was developing my tools in VisualBASIC 4 and 5... and I've never finish it.

The file here is the beta version, where you have to place the rom file in the same folder, rename it "result.rom", and then run the application. If you want to try it, use smurf rescue rom file and use the "goto" button to reach address A719, and see the sprites for the smurf character. You can edit the graphics directly and click the "save button". Have fun!
