Does the Intellivision core volume seem kind of low?

Frogger crashed on me during gameplay, but I'm assuming that's just down to the core being immature.

This looks fantastic! I just bought a controller with a DB9 connector from ebay. Can this work with SNAC? I would prefer to use this instead of buying another adapter to USB.

First off, much thanks to Grabulosaure for this core. The Intellivision was my first console, and it's amazing to have it present on the Mister. The latest update corrected the sound for me, but some games (specifically Commando and Star Strike in my case) seem to be running slightly faster than before. Hopefully this is useful information, and again thank you for helping get me through some sort of classic game mid-life crisis I'm having.

I have been very much enjoying this core. I purchased an Intellivision that came with two controllers, and two 2600daptor's. Everything works great, except the Reset function. In the menu there is a Reset option that doesn't seem to do anything, and I am not sure if there is a way to map it to a keyboard button. Any suggestions? Thanks!

In about every core, Ctrl+Alt+AltGr does a reset.

Thanks! I don't have that key. Is right-alt the same thing? I am in the U.S.

Works great, but I wonder why some games don't work? Header issues?

Atarisoft Pac-Man for one. Although it doesn't work in some software emulators, either.

Update: I tried Control-Alt-Alt (both alts) and it didn't work to reset the Intellivision. Any other ideas? Right now, I just reload the ROM.

Right. It appears that the core does not implement a RESET line.

This core would be perfect with 16 directions for the real Intellivsion controllers. (Another Ultimate PC interface user here, with reproduction Intellivision flashback controllers.) - It's crucial in some games to be able to move diagonally and shoot diagonally as well. Is any further work being done on this core?

Oh yeah... PGA Golf is unplayable, as the core doesn't support all 16 directions on the disc. Can't aim.. :-/

This core is working really well, your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Would it be possible to add the option "Pause when OSD is open:" (choose on or off) like in the NES core?

My use case is as follows:
I'm using a 2600-daptor d9 to connect a Flashback controller. It works really well like this, but the only way I could figure out how to map something to the Menu button was using the key combination 1+9. It works great to get in and out of the menu with this controller. 1+9 pauses the game on the original console, but now it will no longer pause the game, it just opens the OSD. If you could add that option, 1+9 could open the OSD and simultaneously pause the game.

Has anyone installed the new core? I did and games no longer launch. It just sits at a blank screen.

EDIT: For anyone coming from the old core please note that the new one requires a boot.rom file in the Intellivision folder. Currently update_all doesn't yet support getting this file for you.

As a general rule:
Start the core.
Bring up the OSD.
On the left side, in the vertical white band you will know the name to use.

One exception that I know of: Minimig uses the Amiga folder.

Read the Readme in the Wiki, it tells you how to build it. You are on your own to find the different parts.

Give it a couple of days and update_all.sh will have added this for you, I am sure.

One thing update_all can't amend, is the fact that these cores need peculiar controllers to be enjoyed as they should.

Here's a gift for you, before the 'bios_getter' script ups to the job ;)

I'd dump the whole Intellivision library/folder in here, but I'm afraid the police would go retroactively after me :mrgreen:

Yes, I would definitely love to see 16 directions supported. I'm also using the Ultimate PC interface w/ Flashback controllers. That would help a number of games. I expect this could be done in the INTV core controller setup.
