How to get Intellivision to work on 4.1

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

Are you now using the most recent jzintv? If so, how does it run?

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul the version i use, i have had for a long time. The one i use is available on intellivision.us . Not sure of anything that the version that retropie might have changed, but i know that it doesnt play ms. pacman so i dont try anything further.

@mediamogul Hello again. So I got the bios from the video that I posted. I download the game Space Armada and renamed it on the spreadsheet in addition to downloading the right config file and renaming it as well. Here is a picture!! What am I doing wrong?

@ThatGuy-UNo

It doesn't look like I needed a config file for 'Space Armada'. Can you post it's contents?

[AlexMurphy]

@mediamogul Feck the Intellivision. ColecoVision is where it's at. Better games, better graphics. Check it out.

[ThatGuy-UNo]

@mediamogul What contents do you mean? I can't simply send a link where I got the game cause that be breaking the forum rules. What games can I download that will work using the bios files that I got from the 2nd video?

@AlexMurphy Appreciate your enthusiasm on the other side of the fence

[AlexMurphy]

@ThatGuy-UNo What fence? ColecoVision is better!!!! We can have both. That's why I love emulators. I'm only trying to have a joke.

@ThatGuy-UNo

What contents do you mean?

I was referring to the contents of the config file.

What games can I download that will work using the bios files that I got from the 2nd video?

Try something basic like 'Burger Time!' and see if it loads. It shouldn't need a memory map. If it doesn't work, we'll compare the checksum of our BIOS files.

@AlexMurphy

pft... Everyone knows all the best titles came out of GameaVision.

[AlexMurphy]

@mediamogul Nonsense! All the best games were on the FUNARAMA-VIDEO-FUN-SUPER-MACHINE I had them all. And I beat all 756 of the games released. Even the really shitty ones involving Smurfs!

[ThatGuy-UNo]

@AlexMurphy Lol sorry :P just being frustrated with the emulator atm :/

[AlexMurphy]

@ThatGuy-UNo You own a Pi. Frustration is a thing. I remember when I was about to stamp on it like a horrible cockroach. I was where you were once. Don't lose hope!

[ThatGuy-UNo]

@mediamogul The contents of the config file where the google doc ones from the wiki

[mediamogul]

@ThatGuy-UNo

I'm re-familiarizing myself with the mappers and if memory serves, mapper 0 loads by default unless otherwise instructed and therefore any game using it doesn't need a config file. That leaves only 30 to be made from a North American set.

@ThatGuy-UNo

You can get the md5 checksum of the BIOS files from the command line by typing:

md5sum /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/exec.bin

and

md5sum /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/grom.bin

The result of mine are:

62e761035cb657903761800f4437b8af /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/exec.bin
0cd5946c6473e42e8e4c2137785e427f /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/grom.bin

@mediamogul Thank you I will give it a try, thank you for sticking it with me.

[ThatGuy-UNo]

Ok I am officially done trying, if anyone want to help me ill leave my email in my profile if you are willing to help me through and through. I have tried getting it to work on 4.1. Here is what I did.

[Removed by admin]

Burger Time and renamed it as the spreadsheet on the wiki. no config file this time.
thanks for all for the help.

@ThatGuy-UNo posting links to google searches is no different than posting links to roms or saying which video you got it from etc. It's against the forum rules. Next infraction will result in a ban.

[ThatGuy-UNo]

@herb_fargus My bad, sorry about that, now I know where the line is drawn :)

[edmaul69]

@ThatGuy-UNo as far as intellivision goes i can help walk you through everything. I couldnt find an email in your profile though.
