Games For Your Intellivision

Have you tried running the application as an administrator?

People who bought loose copies of D2K Arcade did buy some boxes/overlays/manuals later, but there were so few loose carts sold loose and so long ago, that there's no real 'variant'. The new D2K copies have a second run of boxes and cartridge stickers, but the manuals and overlays come from remaining stock of the first copies. DK Arcade was sold in a Mattel shell with a "JLP 3" board, and an instruction sheet. "Upgrade kits" (Box/manual/overlays) were sold but that was also long ago. Later, CIB versions of the game were sold in an LTO shell with a JLP 4 board. Most recently, DK Arcade copies are sold with a standard board from H.D. and do not have the Elektronite splash screen.

I got a message from Joe on Sunday that plainly indicated that he's not ready to come back to the Intellivision scene. I'm pretty sure he'll be at Portland in a couple of months, and hopefully a solution can be found to get the LTO Flash! back into circulation. That's all I've got at the moment.

If you are expecting an explanation from myself or BBG Entertainment, you’re not going to get one. I have brought a number of legitimate licensed games to the Intellivision over the last decade. I had a key involvement in creating the world’s first Intellivision emulator in the 1990s. I am mentioned in the credits on the Intellicart and LTO Flash! One of my games won Intellivision game of the year for 2022 and my games won 5 of 8 awards. I am consulting for BBG Entertainment. Don’t believe me? I don’t care. Regardless of what I revealed I was working on, it has absolutely nothing to do with whether the Amico comes out or doesn’t come out. Being attacked and mocked and my words twisted by a bunch of Amico lunatics who have nothing better to do, has made me totally regret saying anything. I just see malice towards myself, BBG Entertainment, and Intellivision Entertainment as a result. I have a very low opinion about people who have meltdowns over speculation when they assume that they “know” what is actually going on. They should get a life.

I was allowed to 'talk about' the project (after over a year of working on it) in order to find people who would like to program the enhanced games, and possibly lend expertise to the project. As i said, it wasn't an 'announcement' so, that's why BBG didn't do it. However, I've learned my lesson. I won't talk about anything we're working on, and give no updates until we have a product in a box ready to go with a price. You can stop talking about this now.

I'm not threatening anyone. I was called a liar (dishonest was the term) and I don't take kindly to it. I just don't think that any of these keyboard warriors would say that to my face if they met me in person, yet here they are doing it on Atari Age. My take on it was I was revealing something cool that I was working on, because there was nothing to buy, no product yet exists and no 'waiting list' was being made. People are within their rights to consider it an 'announcement'. I don't consider it an 'announcement'. We can disagree on that point, but it's really out of order when you question someone's honesty because you have a different take on things.

ALL of these ROMS use JLP cartridges and work under JZINTV with the - jlp switch. The ROMS do NOT work with Nostalgia.

It is my understanding that BBG's license to make use of original games and the OS to run under emulators doesn't include using a raspberry pi or similar to run the emulator. I believe it is limited to software running on established platforms such as the Xbox and Nintendo Switch. I apologize to BBG Entertainment for advising a flashback type device because of their license. As far at the FPGA core goes, it was NEVER going to be a stand alone thing. I am under NDA and not allowed to talk about it. Ironically, this gave people the impression that it was an Intellivision only console exclusively and attracted all the Amico haters/lovers who lost their minds over this project. I apologize for my mistake that I only noticed in the video after it went live that caused another meltdown. I MEANT to say 'BBG owns Astrosmash and Shark Shark and LICENSED the other original games and operating system' and regret that it wasn't caught and corrected before the video launched. I apologize to both BBG Entertainment and Intellivision Entertainment for the mistake and the drama this has caused. The people on YouTube who seem to be desperate for content are using this to mock me and what I was trying to do. I deny 'announcing' anything. I was simply talking about something cool that we were working on. There was no intent to 'get the word out' as there was nothing to buy and no waiting list to be put on. I will be doing no further YouTube interviews (ever) about it. The 'flashback' portion of the project is dead. A way to legally come out with an Intellivision FPGA core for an existing platform may still be in the cards. However, I'm stepping back. I have no desire to be attacked for something cool that I thought people would enjoy. Peace out. William Moeller

I am disappointed that IE believes that what we are (were?) trying to do is not covered by the existing agreement. I'm just a consultant. I'm staying out of it. I hope that if the current agreement does not allow an FPGA core to play these licensed games, that it can be modified to allow it. Regardless, the original plan was to create an Intellivision 3 emulator with development kit to be released at the end of the year. This would allow people to make games for the enhanced system. We'll see what happens.

Actually, they have a non-exclusive license to use the Intellivision OS and all the original games, currently and still owned by Intellivision Entertainment, LLC. And, yes, they have the rights to use the Exec and graphic ROM and we're going to make an Intellivision 3 console.

I agree. The LTO Flash! without the firmware is useless. I'm hoping that I can do something about that in the near future and will do my best to rectify the situation. I am hoping that I can talk to Joe about the situation at Portland if he attends.

You said in a previous post: "I guess there's no board anywhere, only the shells 😅" Yes, I get that you were being sarcastic. However, it could be misinterpreted by some people who don't read things very carefully as "there's no board (sic) anywhere". In other words, people could think that the boards still need to be manufactured and then they start thinking 'Oh noooooo, there's a chip shortage! The LTO Flash! will NEVER BE MADE AGAIN' and then start paying insane prices on eBay for one.

I have been keeping a list for a while for when LTO returns. Somehow, I think that it is unnecessary as I think everyone will hear about it being sold again very quickly.

Are you SURE that you're using a data cable? There are charging only cables that are useless on the LTO Flash! If you are coming to Portland, bring your LTO Flash! and I'll get it going with my netbook I'm bringing.
