Intellivision Core (INTV)
This core appears to work properly, but I don't see it in the official list of cores.
http://temlib.org/pub/mister/Intv.rbf
I have no idea who created it or anything, or I don't see much source code either. Can we get this one added?

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Maybe he'll chime in and let us know.
Or he could post the source code so that someone else can continue with it. If he's done with it.
I'm sure it's real life busy for the guy.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Just toyed around with it. You can select and load BIOS files, and you'll get different "screen garbage" depending on which you select. The default garbage matches a couple of the BIOS files, which leads me to believe it may have one of those BIOS rips built in, and that would probably need to be removed for official release. That's just speculation though.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Thank for your interest.
Sources are there :
https://github.com/Grabulosaure/Intv_MiSTer
It needs to be reworked a bit before being part of "official" cores.
There are still a few issues/bugs, but it should support most Intellivision games and homebrews, including "Intellivoice", "Intellicart", "ECS" extensions.

Yep, that's the main problem. Congratulations.Sigismond0 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:26 pm [...] leads me to believe it may have one of those BIOS rips built in, and that would probably need to be removed for official release
Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Very cool. Thank you for your work. Is the core basically complete except for the BIOS issue?Grabulosaure wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 12:00 am Thank for your interest.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
I installed this core a while ago and it does seem to work really well, it was great to play the games I remember from when I was a kid.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Never had an Intellivision and honestly didn't know it existed until the late 90s. Definitely on my list to check out.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Could the core not be added to main with the BIOS removed, and have the user supply their own, like some of the other cores? Be great to have this released officially.
Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Why the rush? If it's not ready it is not ready.
You know the repository now, so you can subscribe on Github and get e-mails when there is an update and update the core manually.
There are cores out there that will probably never be included in the official release for various reasons.
We raise hopes here...until they're old enough to fend for themselves.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
I always wondered why they had the Atari 2600 and Colecovision, but not the Intellivision. So, I did a Google-Fu search, and found the core.
I'm just glad the developer (Grabulosaure) made his way here!

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
I got the B-17 cartridge before the voice unit. I couldn't wait a few days to play so I tried without the voice. You had to keep hopping from view to view to see who was shooting you and missed a lot of targets. My wife and I still laugh about it.
Maybe the pilot was Chuck Yeager, I heard he had a strong southern accent.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
It's been a while since any updates on this core. Is the core still being worked on?
Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
I have almost every game. My fingers would be killing me after a few games of Sea Battle against a friend.

I saw that some updates were brought to the core 6 month ago while the latest compiled rbf core is from February 2020, will you or have you already proposed a new compiled rbf beta version with the latest modifications which could help to run the recalcitrant games (like the one mentioned at the above post or Space Armada, soccer which both freeze for instance) ?
Thanks again for this great core and for your hard work on different projects for the Mister!

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Yeah, the Intellivision core is one of the cores I'm most excited for. With the Intellivision Amico coming out in April this year, it'd be amazing for this core to launch around the same time, but no pressure on getting it done early ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
I never heard of that until your post. I just checked it out and it looks like the perfect blend of retro/classic and modern gaming.

Yeah man. It's mind boggling that Atari, Intellivision and KFC of all companies are releasing consoles this generation lmao even though I'm a millenial, it feels like the early 80sthorr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 5:32 amI never heard of that until your post.

You do realize that these "consoles" are not actually being released by the original companies/creators of Atari and Intellivision, correct? These are random people that bought up the rights to use the names to slap on mediocre hardware ideas to try to make a buck off of nostalgia.

Re: Intellivision Core (INTV)
Of course I know that. It doesn't make it any less novel. The Atari VCS is certainly a scummy console, but at least the Intellivision Amico has a lot of passion behind it. Tommy Tallarico is a huge fan of the original Intellivision. They have a vision, but the problem is that $249 price tag. Most people would rather buy a Switch for that price range. If they sold it at $100-150, then I could see it being successful.kfreiberg wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 5:23 pmKremlingKuthroat19 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:29 pm Yeah man.
