+5-11under Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm having some issues with jzintv, and I'm not sure if these are known issues, or if there are solutions available for the user... I have pretty much all the standard ROMs available to try. The ones listed below don't work for me. Either I get a blank screen, or the program quits on me (1.0 beta 4, on Win7-32). All of the games under 16K work, and most of the 32K+ games don't work. Any help is appreciated! Scooby Doo's Maze Chase 16K Microsurgeon 16K Demon Attack 16K Centipede 16K Beauty and the Beast 16K Atlantis 16K Mr. Basic Meets Bits 'N Bytes 24K Mind Strike 24K Melody Blaster 24K The Jetsons - Way With Words 24K Congo Bongo 24K Pac-Man 24K Defender 24K Super Pro Football 32K Dig Dug 32K Commando 32K Super Pro Decathlon 32K Stadium Mud Buggies 32K Spiker! 32K Slam Dunk - Super Pro Basketball 32K Pole Position 32K Diner 32K Deep Pockets - Super Pro Pool and Billiards 32K Chip Shot - Super Pro Golf 32K Championship Tennis 32K Body Slam - Super Pro Wrestling 32K World Series Major League Baseball 40K Triple Challenge 45K Tower of Doom 45K Hover Force 48K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Are you using *.rom or *.bin+*.cfg files? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphokie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 All of the games work for me with the exceptions: Congo Bongo Centipede Defender Pac-Man (both Atarisoft and Intv copies) WSMLB - although I had problems with this one before and re-dumped it and it worked. Now it doesn't again. However, all of these same games work fine on my Cuttle Cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hmm, have to check. I don't recall problems with anything other than WSMLB, which cuts out with bad noise after a little while, though the game seems to play fine. I think I was using the ROM from one of the Intellivision Productions CDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Are you using *.rom or *.bin+*.cfg files? I'm using strictly *.bin files from theoldcomputer.com. edit: no *.cfg (or *.rom) files. Edited January 31, 2014 by 5-11under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm using strictly *.bin files from theoldcomputer.com. edit: no *.cfg (or *.rom) files. That's your problem. The BIN is the raw binary of the game, but it doesn't include information of where is located each chunk of code/data. The CFG file contains the required info. A ROM extension file is a mixture of BIN and CFG data, so you don't need additional files. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick search for "Intellivision cfg files" brought up this: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/203179-config-files-to-use-with-various-intellivision-titles/ This should help in my understanding of how the memory mapping is known for each game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've been pretty lame trying to get JZINTV to work at all. (Mac OS X) I haven't really busted my ass trying but when I do I give up fast. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've attached the copied and renamed cfg files required for anyone who wants to use the downloads from theoldcomputer.com. I only tested them for a few seconds each. Most of them work, but a couple don't. Maybe the wrong cfg file was chosen. Oh well. jzintv-theoldcomputer-cfg-files.zip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
