Alright, got 'em, tried them in 3 different consoles but only one of the cartridges worked. 

 

And that one was.... Night Stalker.

I'm one for one so far!

Get out the isopropyl alcohol and the q-tips for the other three,it's worth a try.👍

White controllers with black side buttons.

 

They do work in my friends Intellivision II deck.

 

Sears? 

 

Can somebody point me in the right direction as to what software, and additions I need for these things to work on a PC INTV emulator?

 

Thanks.......

The Ultimate PC Interface is a great solution for using Intellivision controllers on a computer running an emulator. http://intellivision.us/interface.php

The dark rubber buttons are normal but the dark plastic around the keypad is very unusual.  If they came with a console, what's the serial number.

 

As mthompson suggested, an Intellivision USB adapter will turn it into a standard USB game controller, no software required.

Aquarius 32K Memory Module, this one absolutely never comes up. Very cheap price, assuming you can convince them to ship internationally. Necessary for the full cartridge set.

That's a great price for that. Looks like someone grabbed it.

Always meant to ask how to tell if a super pro is actually a tutor. I got 4 or so lying in the fix pile. 

Look in the back vents.  See if you can see anything like this: 

 

Also when you put a cart in it should not say Mattel on the screen.

Not always true.

Best way to tell is with a Diagnostic test cart, or diagnostic rom with an LTO flash.

This is close to definitive.  There are 2 variants with the above board:

  • Tutor Pro - has the Tutor Pro executive ROM called WBEXEC
  • Partial Tutor Pro (not sure if these have a name) - has all the hardware but only has the original Mattel EXEC ROM.

Since the WBEXEC = Original_EXEC + Half_WBEXEC, you can hack a Tutor Pro game to run on a Partial Tutor Pro by appending 1/2 of the WBEXEC data (the half that isn't a copy of the original EXEC) onto the Tutor Pro game's ROM.  To see demo of this working (though not how to do it), check out the following video:

 

To see if you have a Tutor Pro or a Partial Tutor Pro, there are several alternative options:

  • Run the Diagnostic test cart or ROM (easiest if you have it)
  • Open up the case and look at the ROM chip in the upper right whose logo is an "M" inside a circle.  It is says "WBEXEC" in the middle, you have a full Tutor Pro.  If it doesn't, its a Partial Tutor Pro
  • Run a Tutor Pro game ROM on it.  Here are 2 available for download:

Lastly, if you only have a Partial Tutor Pro but still want to try out the Games+Half_WBEXEC, you can download the above 2 games from the link below but with the modification.  Running the below versions of the games does not differentiate a Tutor Pro from a Partial Tutor Pro.

The links for the modified roms don't seem to work?

Just confirmed that downloading the files works fine on my machine.  What browser are you using?

Odd...I tried chrome and firefox and I get this message...
