      @mediamogul That's a bold call. In my experience I'd say the INTV is worst of all. Near-incomprehensible control config and SO many games don't work. It's about 1 in 50 for most emus, more like 1 in 3 for the INTV.

        The controls are difficult just by nature of the system it's emulating. Playing an actual Intellivision felt a bit like operating a graphing calculator at times. As for the ROMs not working, you need to set a memory map config file for the one's that appear not to. It's all covered in the docs.

              @mediamogul i need to look through some old pm’s on atariage. I havent done it yet but a programmer that has worked with some pi stuff told me how to add a header to all the 5200 roms and the emulator boots them the same as the atari 800 roms. Never once have to choose the bios.

                @spudsmctoole as a beta tester for many intv games and very knowledgeable with intv on the pi i can tell you every single intellivision game works on the pi with jzintv. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I can help you with the controls too.

                  @mediamogul Reinstall did the trick, ta :)

                  Still can't figure what the heck to do with XEX files, mind you.
