Emulator update

pbrook67

I need a different version of jzintv... How do I go about putting in a different version?? Please speak as if I am a child. I don't know how to do all those commands. Thanks for any help!

@pbrook67 Use the RetroPie menu to update your jzintv package if you want a newer version - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages. You can either choose to update from binary - faster - or from source - much slower because it will re-compile the binary, but it will get the latest available version.

@pbrook67 I presume you mean the jzintv binary available in the Ultimate Intellivision Console that will let you play Ms Pac-Man.

Here's how you can do this from the command line. From the terminal on your Pi or using SSH on a PC, run the following commands:

Download and extract the zip package.

wget http://www.intellivision.us/raspberry/retro-intv-42.zip
unzip retro-intv-42.zip

Navigate to jzintv binary.

cd Retropie42/opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv/bin

Run the command ls to check that the jzintv binary is there.
Make the binary executable.

chmod 0755 jzintv

Copy the binary

sudo cp jzintv /opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv/bin/jzintv

Test and remove source files

cd 
rm retro-intv-42.zip
rm -r Retropie42

This will overwrite the existing jzintv binary. If you have problems with your existing roms, then let me know and I can provide an alternative method.

@dudleydes I am so sorry but how do I access the emulator section? I can see it in my network but all I am able to see are files called roms, bios, config and splashscreens. Am I doing something wrong?

@mitu Will this truly update my jzintv as in the ultimate Intellivision console????

@pbrook67 The commands @dudleydes posted should be executed from a command prompt, best to use SSH since you can easily copy & paste the command.
Regarding your other post, I don't what ultimate Intellivision console is, my suggestion would update the emulator (jzintv) to the latest version available in RetroPie, nothing more.
