Ignorama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Can I plug original cartridges in this to play it on the TV PC, or is it neccesary to load ROMs from the Internet? Edited April 18, 2013 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Can I plug original cartridges in this to play it on the TV, or is it neccesary to load ROMs from the Internet? Hmm... Ignorama, it's not a multi-cart. It's an interface to plug in detachable controllers into your PC so that you may play them using an emulator. You will need to configure your emulator to receive input from the USB device. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Can I plug original cartridges in this to play it on the TV, or is it neccesary to load ROMs from the Internet? Its a device that allows you to plug Inty controllers into your PC using USB. It means you get to use a real controller to play your ROMs in your favourite Inty emulator(s).

Ignorama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I know its no multicart, but I thought it may works like a Retrode, which allows to plug cartridges and controllers to the PC. If I understand it right this interface is the same like the retrode, except it dont support original cartridges. If someone dont know the retrode, its that beauty: https://www.retrode.com/?lang=de I wish there is a system like that for every console. Edit: Thank you, now I understand.

I wonder if Groovy or Joe would be interested in producing something like that for the Intellivision? It'll be awesome, to be able to play your own cartridges. Include a port for the controllers and it'll definitely be THE. ULTIMATE. PC. INTERFACE. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Cool! That retrode thing is cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Yes, the Retrode is awesome and there are some add ons for Master System and Game Boy. Maybe Groovy or Joe dont need to develope a complete "Retrode" system, but a attachment for this system. But I guess its a bit unfair to ask for such development, its difficult and time-consuming for sure.

GroovyBee Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The retrode makes the contents of the cart appear as a file on a USB removable drive. Then you point your emulator at the drive and it loads the game in like it would any other ROM image. Its not difficult to do given the size of the Inty library. It'd be an interesting side project for somebody to do (not me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fushek Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm considering buying this ... for those who own one ... is it worth it? Anyone willing to share their experiences with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispFollower Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm considering getting one of these, as well. Is the difference between this and the Vision-dapter just support for the oddball devices such as the synth keyboard? Does the Vision-dapter work as well? I'm just wondering since I doubt I will be hooking up something besides a controller, so the half priced option is looking better for me.

Rev Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I forgot about the visiondapter....i meant to order that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebelhaki Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Looks like the visiondapter only supports using one controller at a time and the ultimate supports two. The visiondapter is almost half the price of the ultimate for those on a budget though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 if you get 2 can you play 4 player world cup football and super soccer??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have ben in the fence for this as well. In addition to not currently having a CC3 to play ROMs on, the ability to use the ECS/Synthesizer is s big selling point for me. I'd love to use the synth for music writing/recording through my PC.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Mrs INTV sounds very wise :-) I think I might have to buy Ms-likesINTV a present to make up for all of my recent selfish purchases...and for accompanying me to two game stores on our little vacation.

mr_intv Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I agree with your thinking, mrs intv might need a little present as well just in case there is a sudden increase in intv spending in the next little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
