Rev Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 I suggest who ever wants one email him, so he makes another run! I procrastinated as well and didnt get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think it was produced in 50 pieces. Anyway I managed to order one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but now he wants to increase the price. -dZ. Again from the Intellivision.us site (this is from the forum) "Re: Ultimate Intellivision PC Interface by Pingaso » Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:10 pm It will be first offered at a discounted price to those that showed interest. I will then evaluate the demand. PC interfaces are generally not that popular as a lot of people are more into the console" So the initial run was always going to have been at a reduced price. I don't know how much it would cost to produce such a unit, so I don't know if the increase is justified (or even what the increase is).

gavvv Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 anyone actually have difficulty getting the UPCI installed and configured correctly? I haven't been able to get mine with some inty1 controllers working correctly through jzIntv gavv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxd Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I can't figure out how to configure jzIntv either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxd Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I tried but whenever I tell jzintv to use the keyboard hack file it immediately exits. obviously something is wrong with the file but since I get absolutely no error message it's kind of difficult to figure out what it doesn't like...

Instead of using something like "C:\Program Files\jzintv\hackfile.cfg", you will want to use just "hackfile.cfg". The website has been updated with this information. http://www.intellivision.us/intvgames/interface/interface.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxd Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I still can't figure out how to configure the hackfile. The emulator doesn't just immediately exit anymore, but the keys don't work right. also jzintv doesn't seem to like most of my game roms. Most games just crash. everything works fine in Nostalgia, but of course it doesn't seem to support all 16 directions of the intellivision controller. Overall I think jzintv is a piece of crap. YMMV... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV... jzIntv is primary programmer's emulator. As such, it does an excellent job, with a debugger, and developing tools and functions. It's also intended to emulate the hardware as closely as possible, in order to test and debug games. I personally haven't had any problems with any of my ROMs executing under jzIntv. That said, it does not provide a graphical user interface, and the commandline interface may seem a bit terse and intimidating to some people. Can you post how you have jzIntv configured? Also can you provide some information as to the problems that you're having with some games? I'll see if I can be of any help. dZ.

rxd Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 What roms work with jzintv? Obviously it is much more picky about the roms than other emulators are. Most roms that work fine in other emulators don't work at all in jzintv. Now that I've actually found a few that do work I'm making some progress configuring it. But where can I get a rom collection that all the roms do work in jzintv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxd Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) BurgerTime does work fine Diner does not work Demon attack does not work etc. I would say 75 % of my roms that run fine in my other emulators do not work in jzintv. The window just turns totally black, or totally pink then after a minute or 2 the emulator crashes out.

+DZ-Jay Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dragon Fire does workDig Dug does not work. Again these are all roms that work fine in Nostalgia, Bliss and Mess All the work for me. Can you tell me if they are "ROM" or "BIN" format? It's OK if you don't know, you may be able to tell by the file name extension: ".rom", ".bin", etc. By the way, I have a cole of questions in order to be able to help you: 1. Are your using Windows, Macintosh, or Linux? 2. How have you configured jzIntv? 3. How are your executing it? 4. When you say "they don't work," what exactly do you mean: do the games crash, or do they not even run at all? Do you get an error message? jzIntv can be very intimidating, but trust me when I tell you that the emulation itself, is one of the most accurate ones. However, this is so, because it is intended for programmers to test and debug their games. This is the reason that it allows these "hack files" and has other advanced features. It is also open source, though it is currently being maintained by a single person. dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working on setting up jzintv when trying to work with the UPCI and I also had a lot of problems getting roms to work, most times it would launch, immediately close back to the gui. I assumed a lot of it was probably just a problem with versions of roms 'mismatched' with a particular version of jz that i was trying to work with. most of the rom's that i was trying were the .bin(s) off of Lives and the .itv(?) format files off Rocks. Didn't think there was anything inherently wrong, just figured i'd need to do more tweeking at some point to figure if i'd gotten the right roms, version of exec and grom, and the settings in the emu. most homebrew roms that were grabbed directly from places seemed to work fine. gavv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is also what I "figured" myself, thus why I asked where people are getting their roms from. The roms I have are from who knows how long ago. I literally have no idea when I got them, it was probably 8+ years ago.But they work fine in every emulator I tried them in, Bliss, Nostalgia and Mess. Just tested them again. And like you I am using the gui frontend for jzintv, and I'm having the exact same issue. Is it the gui? Is it the emulator? Is it the roms? Is it the config? jzintv craps out with no message whatsoever... FWIW I'm using Windows 7 64 bit I didn't really configure anything in jzintv other than tell the gui where my roms are, where my grom, exec and ecs are, and what hackfile to use. It acutally seems that I might have figured out the hackfile issues for 1 controller but the emulator still crashes on most roms whether I use the hackfile or not. On the roms that do work, the controller is now mapped correctly. And like I said I am executing the emulator from the gi frontend. When I say the roms don't work I mean they don't work at all. Black or pink screen, nothing of the rom screen ever shows up it just crashes out in a few seconds back to the gui. The roms that do work work perfectly...

The version of these files that comes with jzIntv are minimalist, in order not to violate intellectual property rights. What you can do is, get the ones from the CD ROM collections and replace the ones that came with the emulator. dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
