      @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!!![0_1493675936754_Intellivison.JPG](Uploading 100%) What am I doing wrong?

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

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

              @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

                @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.

                  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.

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

                    @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 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!

                            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.

                              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

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

                                          If you two decide to continue working through email, please consider posting the resolution here afterward for anyone who might have a similar issue later. Quite honestly, I've never seen jzintv be this stubborn and I'd be curious to hear the outcome myself.

                                            @mediamogul i will post. In this case i prefer to do it over email just because it can get really extensive going through intellivision stuff and im going to go through setting up the controller and everything with him. But i will post results. The biggest problem with intellivision though usually is permissions with the bios files. I should do a wiki writeup some time so people can get the best experience out of the intellivision. Also there are so many awesome free homebrews too that people who dont trifle atariage.com's intellivision section of their forum that people are missing out on. There are about 10-20 new games released on cart for the intellivision every year. Most of the intellivision homebrew games roms become available for free or on the cheap. Flappy bird rom was just released for the colecovision and intellivision on there recently.
