Utopia Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There are a couple of hundred Intellivision collectors,out there. If it is cost effective to make this, and affordable for everyone to buy, I think you will do very well with this! Agreed, and the key point here is affordability so some of the ideas thrown around are just unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rev Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 In a perfect world I would also use Intv cartridges. But in this case we are saving on both case design and a cartridge shell tooling (I don't have a Intv cartridge tool and I don't want someone controlling whatever I can or cannot release). A new shell tooling would be another $6000 investment on top of the module tooling at least. You see what I mean, we add everything we want with no compromises and this thing will cost like $200+. But I agree with the legacy cartridge port for the convenience. Someone asked about save states, but our cartridges alreday offer saving capabilities. What if someone had new intellivision shells available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 What programming language is used to write games for Intellixpander? Right now I am using assembly, although eventually we should have C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Which assembly? Is it Z80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Should be assembly for the CP1610 or CP1610-2 if the INTV III project is followed... but finding/emulating Z80 would be both easier and still fittign to the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I was about to comment "Those are neat, but they look a bit too early 80's." Then I realized that I was thinking NES boxes, and most of the NEs boxes I know are more from late 80's/early 90's and the Intelli 3/4 were meant to be out bu 1982/83, it's in fact spot on.

I'm trying to imagine what the game will look like!There is a picture of the barrels stage here.http://atariage.com/forums/topic/266909-intellixpander-module/?p=3801448 Edit: it's similar to other 256 pixel wide versions, as opposed to 160 pixel wide versions like Atari 400/7800 or c64.
