mr_me Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, billtv1 said: my next question is how do i enable the other emulators Thanks bill Standard Retropie installs emulators for many systems by default, but they don't show up in Emulationstation unless a game rom file is found in the designated folder. So for these systems adding just one game rom file is enough to activate its emulator. Edited December 30, 2022 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 With the upci, there's a procedure when changing controllers. https://intellivision.us/interface.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just curious,what will happen or can you do when your Flashback controllers wear out? I think I went through 6 controllers that I used with the Intellivision cable adapters with my Intellivision 2. Now they are not available anymore.

mr_me Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) You can use Intellivision controllers made in the 1980s, they're better built then the flashbacks. There are new flex circuits available, and cables can be replaced. Another option are the Côté Gamers controllers. I wonder what's failing in the Flashback controllers. I know the wires are very thin and they can break where they're soldered inside the controller. Edited January 23, 2023 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 @billtv1 please take note that the Pi0 does not have an HDMI port. It has a miniHDMI port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a miniHDMI port. When I use a Pi0, then I use a miniHDMI to HDMI cable that is about a foot long and then just have it come out of the case where the RCA cable comes out. It's been awhile, so I can't seem to find them online any longer, but something on ebay or amazon like this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I spoke with Todd a few weeks ago. He is doing well and he has been really busy. As have been mentioned in this thread a few times recently... Raspberry Pi are near impossible to get, and then even harder to get at the normal price. No Pi = No upgrades No time = less time to work on an upgrade, but having no Pi makes it impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar0u Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am having a heck of a time with my Ultimate PC Interface. Hoping someone can offer some advice. It worked great for about a year. Then my controller disc stopped working in the down direction. Someone recommended I reupload the firmware of the UPCI, which corrected the problem for about a month. Well, my disc isn't working in the down direction again, and reloading the firmware didn't fix it this time. (I know the controller works, because thanks to check roms and my original Intellivision II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
