jzIntv, the Ultimate PC Interface, and a Mac

[bikeguychicago]

I'm trying to use the original version of the Ultimate PC Interface (the one without Atari/Coleco support) with jzIntv on my Mac. I'm using jzIntv on Macbook running 10.8.2 and using GUintv. I downloaded the default Hackfile.config file from Intellivision.us and copied it to the bin directory of my jzIntv install and also downloaded the test roms. I also checked that the jumpers were set properly on the interface.

 

When I load the controller test, I find that the side buttons and the disc controller are mapping properly. However, when ever I press one of the keypad keys, the test rom thinks that the keypad keys are side buttons and not the 0-9 keys. Unless I get this resolved, the interface is of little use to me.

 

Has anyone run into this issue before? If so, can you recommend anything for me to try? Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

did you d/l the hackfile specifically for the old interface that you own??also did you press f5 to use the right mapping while running a game/test rom?

One other question: When I first installed jzIntv, the game screen would appear full-screen (as I had this selected in the GUIntv options) and would scale to fit the vertical height of my display.

 

Now whenever I launch a game, the game still launches full-screen. However, the game screen is now confined to the lower-right corner of the display (see screenshot). Does anyone know how to fix this as I find the scaled presentation to be much nicer.

 

Thanks!

It is set for 640x480. I did not reboot. I will try that now.

Unfortunately rebooting did not help

Not sure as i am unfamiliar with osx. In windows i would say change a property setting but no clue for mac

[pimpmaul69]

Also did you do a complete shutdown or just a reboot. Sometimes crap can stay stuck in ram

did u try taking it off of full screen, load a game, quit, and put back on full screen?

I'm trying to get jzintv to work on my Steamdeck and I'm getting this error:

 

./jzintv: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

thanks for any help

necrobumping a 10-year old thread isn't the best way for help.

 

this is the 4th thread you've done this to.

 

It would have been easier to simply start a new thread.

Try launching the ROM with the -z3 switch.  If I recall correctly, that will scale it to full screen regardless of resolution.
