Albert Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 So, I tested all ten systems yesterday. Of them, only four worked without issues. Of the other six, two do not boot a cartridge, but instead show a black screen. Of the remaining four, one shows bad data in graphic tiles (bad RAM chip or other chip?), another doesn't respond to the player one controller, another crashes after a few minutes (with different carts, as well), and the last one had extremely poor RF video (beyond just typical RF interference). For now, I just needed three systems I can send off to have a composite/audio mod installed. Would be nice to get the other systems working at some point. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am playing around with them on a 65" LCD television.. <grin> Good to see them working. I've honestly never been happy with any of my AV modded Intellivision I's or II's. The colors were never quite right and there was some ghosting. RGB modded on the other hand (and used with the XRGB-mini), the picture is perfection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 The color is actually better in person than what the photo shows. There is no "gradient" with the blue border, for instance, it's a solid, darker blue, and the colors on the chips are also washed out in the photo. I'd have to use my real camera to take a better photo. For composite, with the XRGB-mini, the output is pretty damn good. With S-Video on one of my 2600 systems, it's even better. There is a tiny bit of ghosting with the Intellivision, but that's fine, None at all with the 2600 and S-Video. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I picked Donkey Kong there as I knew some people would get a kick out of that. I should get my hands on some of the many excellent Intellivision homebrews.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
