Games For Your Intellivision Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 if I like something I say it, if I don't I've said that too. I do not give feign praise nor backhanded compliments. Perhaps you should research what a backhanded compliment is. It was indeed a backhanded compliment and fairly rude with a lot of negative implications.

+intvsteve Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I see no evidence that extended slumber time equates to improved Research Department performance. Either that or the department is always sleep deprived. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyo5050 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 This looks awesome, thanks to all involved in putting this together. I, like many others missed out on the CC3 (though it was really my own fault). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was indeed a backhanded compliment and fairly rude with a lot of negative implications. Seriously ? This is a great topic for a wonderful announcement. Peace guys. We are different, so, we have to accept our differences. Don't fight here, it's not the place for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daldude Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Ok so what exactly is this Project L thing? I saw mention of it in the Intellivision Flash Back coming to Retail Thread and found the Project L thread but saw nothing about a multi game cart, I have the Cuttle Cart 3 but that is no longer for sale. Is this multicart (LTO) simular to the Cuttle Cart 3 or is it the CC3 re released? Welcome to the forums! The Flashback will have a great lineup of games, but definitely consider buying an original console to open you up all of the 3rd party and homebrew games that didn't make it on the Flashback. A multicart (LTO Flash) was recently announced (visit the 'Project L' thread), so if you can track down the ROMs this can save you from buying all of these games in their original boxes (some of which are rare and pricey).

A multicart (LTO Flash) was recently announced (visit the 'Project L' thread), so if you can track down the ROMs this can save you from buying all of these games in their original boxes (some of which are rare and pricey). My bad. Two different incompatible products. The Flashback is a smaller console with built in games (no cartridge slot) that is being released by Intellivision Productions. LTO Flash is a multicart (flash-based cart compatible with the original Intellivision) that can be loaded up with a ton of game ROMs (not included). You should be able to fit every game on the cart and toggle from game to game via the menus. New homebrews may also opt to release their ROMs (cheaper than CIB) and they should be compatible with LTO Flash. It's similar in function to the Intellicart or the Cuttle Cart 3 (CC3), but not affiliated with Schell or the CC3. LTO Flash is a collaborative project by Voltron, Elektronite (William), intvnut, and intvsteve (intvfunhouse.com) Sorry for the confusion.

+intvsteve Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) So, can someone please provide a synopsis of the podcast for those who haven't heard it? -dZ. This one's only about an hour long. I'll expand a little on cmart's synopsis: Great intro by Paul (as usual) Voltron gave backstory on TOP SECRET / Psychotron and what became of it. William and Voltron then brought Joe in, who, as you'd expect, already had lots of amazing ideas ready Joe elaborated on the history, introducing us to Stadtler and Waldorf, the origins of JLP, and how Locutus assimilated the other project William recruited me to help out by writing the PC-side user interface apps (Mac and Windows) We intend to have product available at CGE. It will NOT be limited to that, of course. No exact numbers for production runs have been announced. LTO Flash! comes with a high-quality serial cable, manual, and beautiful gatefold box. Software will be downloaded. Some demo ROMs may be included with the product. This is still in flux. Joe also provided some more details and we all had a great time! Paul, in case it hasn't been said enough, has great interview skills. He wrangled us into getting almost everything in one take and did an incredible job turning it into a podcast only a few hours after we recorded the raw audio. Amazing work!

A new Intellivision MultiCart is headed to your Intellivision this summer. Originally codenamed: Locutus, the LtoFlash is the final name.

Rev Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) DZ-Jay, on 20 Jul 2014 - 09:14 AM, said: However, I truly hope that DRM does not become the defining feature of the future of the Intellivision. _______________________________________________________ DZ brings up an interesting point about DRM. I think it is how alot of "retro" guys, and even modern gamers (or anyone) feels about DRM. NO ONE thought DRM would ever come to OUR RETRO SYSTEMS. Intellivision was safe from DRM in the minds of everyone, is Atari and CV next? Should it even be a concern to us? I doubt it. Im not trying to make a backhanded comment either! People should discuss DRM and how they will relate to LOTFLASH and the future of rom downloading. ok.....enough seriousness for me........ here is a graffik showing how some people feel about drm! NOT how I feel about DRM or LTOFLASH. Edited July 20, 2014 by revolutionika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Can the roms on tthe Intellisivion Lives! and Intellivision Rocks! CDs be directly copied off the discs and loaded into the LTOFlash cartridge or will there be some DRM key one will have to buy in order for them to work? Whichever the case, I am psyched to see this come to fruition. Can't wait to purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Wanted to send a quick thanks to Joe, William, Voltron, & Steve and anyone I might have missed for what looks like a wonderful product at a reasonable cost which will help to move more volume/generate more revenue. Also want to quickly thank Paul, Rick and company for another awesome mini podcast! Keep up the great work everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever the case, I am psyched to see this come to fruition. Can't wait to purchase! If you have the Lives! or Rocks! CDs that have visible ROMs, you should be able to drag those into the GUI and run. From what I recall, the ROMs were only visible on the Windows side of the Windows/Mac hybrid CD, and not visible on the Playstation or other versions. This is no change from what you could already do with the Intellicart or CC3. All the existing ROMs out there still work like they always did. If someone chooses to sell or otherwise make available a ROM for the LTO Flash! that's locked to that unit, that's an entirely separate thing. If folks never use the feature, that's fine too. LTO Flash! plays standard, no-DRM ROMs just like the CC3 and Intellicart did. NO ONE thought DRM would ever come to OUR RETRO SYSTEMS. Intellivision was safe from DRM in the minds of everyone, is Atari and CV next? Should it even be a concern to us? I doubt it. FWIW, this isn't DRM in the sense of "you need an always-on Internet connection so I can verify you're still allowed to play this game." This is more like old school copy protection, which was invented on these 80s systems. ie. it's more akin to the physical cartridges you already can't easily copy.

After the recent Xbox One DRM stuff, some people, maybe even me are turned off by the mention of DRM, im quite sure LtoFlash is nothing like this. Maybe drop the term DRM.....

mckafka99 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks for the clarification. The way this cart is set up seems like a good plan for those of us who may not seek out to 'physically own' all new Intv releases but would love the option to purchase a rom to use on this cart.

TrekMD Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 That cart really looks cool with the clear plastic. I'll be eager to get one of these when they are available. Unfortunately, I won't be attending CGE to get one there. I wish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrangled us into getting almost everything in one take and did an incredible job turning it into a podcast only a few hours after we recorded the raw audio. Amazing work! Thanks, Steve, that's very kind of you to say. I don't normally get stuff out there that quickly (again, just ask Will, or Rick.... or most of our listeners!), but I was so psyched about LTO Flash, and the enthusiasm of all you guys involved in the project, it was my pleasure to do it. Thanks for agreeing to let the story be broken on the show. That said, if you guys had talked for 6 hours, well... that would have been a different story... Anyway, congratulations on a 'game changing' device for our favorite console! Literally, and functionally! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
