+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Could anyone post or link to instructions/tutorial on how to set up for playing Intellivision ROM games. I'm sure I would need some sort of emulator program and the actual files themselves (.bin?), but I really don't know where to start. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I just don't know which to use or where to download. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Hello! I use an emulator called jzIntv, which runs as a "console" program (no graphical interface). It is very powerful and one of the most accurate and reliable emulators available, but requires some level of comfort with the "command line." There are others, some with graphical interfaces, but I am not familiar with them. As for the game ROMs, you're on your own there. Although they are old, Intellivision Productions still retains all copyrights to the games, so trafficking ROMs is not really legal. If you own any of the "Intellivision Lives!" or "Intellivision Rocks!" game collections, you may be able to extract the ROMs from the discs. However, keep in mind that you are not allowed to use them in ways that violate Intellivision Productions ownership, or to distribute them in any way. Some ROMs for home-brewed games are available directly from the original producers or programmers. You'll have to contact them to get more information. Once you choose an emulator and acquire some ROMs, I can provide more assistance. If you chose to go with jzIntv, I can provide instructions on how to set it up and use it to run your ROMs. Cheers! -dZ.

Rev Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Check out the Emulation section on my site. http://www.intellivisionrevolution.com/emulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks, Rev. Very good info and exactly what I was looking for. My sole purpose is just to play titles (mostly rare and homebrews) that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain as cartridges. I'll start reading up on this and see where it gets me. The Cuttle Cart also looks pretty promising, so maybe I should consider that as well. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad has a limited stock and is not planning on making more. It is a very good device. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
