Intellivision Issues

Re: Intellivision Category not showing up in main menu

I have installed jzintv from Retropie setup, placed the exec.bin and grom.bin files in BIOS, ensuring they are all lowercase and written just as github suggests, and placed both .bin and .int roms in the intellivision/roms folder. Still I get no Intellivision on the main screen. Any idea what I need to do to correct the issue?

@buzz I have read the "read this first" but didn't find any help on the forum, only someone with a similar issue, which is why I linked it. I'm just looking to see if anyone has had similar issues or knows of a fix. If there is something specific I'm doing wrong as far as posting the query here, please let me know and I'll correct the issue.

Thanks!

@nwgalloway I think that @BuZz refers to the fact that you didn't post any of your sistem specs: what system you're using, how did you build it, what RP version you have, etc.
See the questions referenced in post.

If you have a es_systems.cfg file in /home/pi/.emulationstation that needs to include the intellivision system.

@nwgalloway you can't have read it properly as it clearly details information to provide when posting.

Also make sure "parse gamelists only" is off in emulation station.

@nwgalloway did you install jzintv from retropie setup in the retropie menu?

nwgalloway

Yeah but for some reason it didn't add it to my es_systems.cfg...
Anyways, I went in and manually added it and now I have it running fine.

Thanks for the help everyone!

@nwgalloway So you had the es_systems.cfg in /home/pi/.emulationstation?

If you do, any new system you add will not get added to that file. Just an FYI.
