          @Bread-And-Roses mitu will be able to confirm but it looks like your exec.bin bios is no good.

            Yeah.... I've tried it from a few sources. Is it hard to get hands on a good exec.bin file?

              @Bread-And-Roses it's been a while since I set up intellivision but if I remember correctly I did have to search a bit to find bios that we're functional.

                You need the correct exec.bin. The one I know works is

                exec.bin - 8kb in size
                CRC = CBCE86F7

                      @Bread-And-Roses can you confirm that its exec.bin and not EXEC.bin? Case matters.

                        Lowercase, in the BIOS folder.
                        [EDIT: actually, it was Exec.bin.... for some damn reason the first letter was capitalized and even as I replaced it with other versions all in lowercase, it kept the first letter capitalized. I deleted and replaced it with an all lowercase exec.bin and it works now! Thanks so much!]
