kevin6569 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Have tried to set IntyBasic V0.6 up with little luck. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Rick Reynolds Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I've got it working on Mac, which is similar in file system access and such to Linux. Do you have a specific problem you can describe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin6569 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks. After I extract the files, I try to open the Linux file and I get nothing. If I can't get this working tonight it's OK - I just received my copy of Christmas Carol in the mail earlier so I can try that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I just downloaded it and tried it, and there really wasn't anything to set up. Just unzip it and run "intybasic_linux test.bas test.asm" and I got an ASM file I could assemble. I was able to assemble that and run it, no problem. You do need SDK-1600 to assemble its output, and jzIntv to run it. (And, to run jzIntv, you'll need to acquire the exec.bin and grom.bin from Intellivision Lives! or similar). If you have a 64-bit Linux box, you can use the attached build of jzIntv / SDK-1600. This is the latest dev version of jzIntv + as1600, compiled under x86-64 Linux (specifically, Ubuntu 10.10) If you are using 32-bit Linux, then you will need to build jzIntv from source. I don't currently have a 32-bit Linux box handy. Easiest way to set everything up: Unpack jzintv to $HOME/jzintv Unpack intybasic to $HOME/intybasic Add $HOME/jzintv/bin and $HOME/intybasic to your PATH If you're using bash, add these lines to your .profile: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/jzintv/bin:$HOME/intybasic export JZINTV_ROM_PATH=$HOME/jzintv/rom export AS1600_PATH=$HOME/jzintv/examples/library If you're using tcsh, my condolences. The following should work, but I haven't tested it. Add the following lines to your .login file: set path = ( $path $HOME/jzintv/bin $HOME/intybasic ) setenv JZINTV_ROM_PATH $HOME/jzintv/rom setenv AS1600_PATH $HOME/jzintv/examples/library NOTE: You need to "source" these files in any already-open windows for the changes to take effect. (eg. "source ~/.profile" or "source ~/.login") Put exec.bin and grom.bin in jzIntv's ROM folder ($HOME/jzintv/rom). Make sure they're named in lowercase. Compile, assemble and run test.bas. For this example, we'll build everything in /tmp/test: mkdir /tmp/test cp $HOME/intybasic/test.bas /tmp/test cp $HOME/intybasic/intybasic_prologue.asm /tmp/test cp $HOME/intybasic/intybasic_epilogue.asm /tmp/test cd /tmp/test intybasic_linux test.bas test.asm as1600 -o test test.asm jzintv ./test And that should do it. jzintv-linux-x64-20140322.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I just now noticed you had posted this while I was typing my other message. The intybasic_linux compiler is a command line tool, as is AS1600. You will need to use all of this from the command line. If you're just clicking on it in a file chooser, then yes, you'll likely see nothing happen.

kevin6569 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Cool! Let me know how you like the game. -dZ. It was actually like Christmas opening up the game and putting it into my Intellivision! I've only played the game a few times and I really like it so far. It's amazing the capabilities the Inty has when someone takes their time to design a game. Great work! Everything from the game, to the packaging, overlays, and instructions is top notch. Thanks.
