I’ve been waiting for quite awhile for my turn to order. On 9/5/2023 at 2:21 AM, 4ever2600 said: Yes can I please know when I can pay for my two controllers? I've been on the list forever and now I hear there's some in stock for purchase?? Yes We understand that it's a long wait, but as you may know, we've had to give up shipping by post recently, which has meant not only a lot of work to change shipping methods, but also a lot of expense and effort to reship a large number of packages that have come back to us. We gave priority to purchasers of a game or a book, whom we couldn't let wait indefinitely. Everything is back to normal, or so we hope. You can now buy controllers as you wish. We don't have many, but we'll be making more. On the other hand, we haven't had time to produce adapters - they'll come later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Cancel my two controller order. I wait a year in line to find out it turned into a 'we ditched the reserve list and anyone can just jump in front of you and order now, we only have a few in stock with no adapters but don't worry, we will be making more.' I dont need these anymore. Would rather buy real INTV controllers for less than 120.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 I understand your position, but you were 132nd on the list, you would have had to wait a long time to buy. now you can do it without waiting any longer. Several people contacted on the list have not finalized their purchase. Rather than continue the list for the next 100 people, we might as well allow everyone to buy whenever they like. Anyway, I've deleted your name from the list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Is he even able to change the title? My old head thinks you need special approval to do that after a certain amount of time. That said, and I am really not known for beeing a non criticizer, tanuki handles all this here very well. Always polite, helpful and humble. Thumbs up from me for this guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that we (Côté Gamers) are far from perfect but we do our best to ensure that no one is disadvantaged and that everyone is satisfied. We've had our work cut out for us recently, but I think that's behind us now and we won't have to worry about anything else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffySlayer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm very excited. Finally received my controller. Thanks Tanuki for all your hard work. Now I just have to figure out how to set it up with mame or jzintv. Anyone know if you can use bezels with jzintv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Isn't there a generic setting for MAME that says game controllers and then you can check mark use joystick? Every controller I've ever used on that service just needed that check mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if you can use bezels with jzintv? I am fairly sure that jzintv doesn't support bezels. If you want to get a Raspberry Pi and setup Retropie, then I think you have bezels with jzintv - or maybe freeintv. But I've not done that before. There are others here that may be able to more fully answer that. Maybe make a separate thread for this, so it gets more attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metlheart Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 How exactly do we order the controller now? I was 128th on the list, waited patiently for what seemed like forever, and now the list no longer exists? I could be really upset about this, but I appreciate, and admire, your passion and talent to create such a revolutionary controller for my favorite gaming system. I've waited since about 1981 for a better controller, I can wait for a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I was on the first list and have been waiting over a year for my controller and adaptor.

1980gamer Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Me too... Still waiting on a left and right controller and the Intellivision 1 board adapter thing to use these / sears controllers.... Time for a refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin6569 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I still haven't seen mine yet either. Hopefully they will come.

1980gamer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @tanuki I did receive 1 of 2 orders. It has been a LONG TIME. I ordered the Intellivision adaptor to connect the new controllers as well as 2 left and 2 right controllers. From these 2 orders, I have received only 1 left and 1 right controller. Can I just get a refund for the 3 remaining items. I have a feeling they will never arrive. I know you had some postal issues. Thanks.

Rickster8 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Anyone looking to trade a right sided disc LONG Play controller for a left side disc one? I want a right side disc one, but not interested in buying another one..... I bought one of both, but ended up getting two lefties...... 🤦♂️ Edited February 14 by Rickster8 Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitwidgets.com Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Hi everyone, for anyone here who owns a longplay and would like to hook one or two up to a Flashback Intellivision, I have a new product that will allow this: NOTE: You can always buy direct from me here as well, I just share the etsy option for those who prefer going through a market. it's $19.99 free shipping on etsy + tax. Direct is $18 (save on fees for everyone) https://www.etsy.com/listing/1696205785/intellivision-flashback-adapter-sockets This if course also lets you hook original Sears and INTV II controllers up the flashback and ultimate flashback as well. Thanks, Caleb Edited March 17 by 8bitwidgets.com 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MattelAquarius Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I could really use one of these controllers, but it sounds like the website is not (or at least no longer) reputable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in fact working on a new batch soon.. (I know because I'm printing the new enclosures for them once we finalize a few enhancements) Cote Gamers is very reputable. They sell a wide range of stuff and are good on their word. Sometimes new releases take longer than projected, but they have served the INTV community for years and Patrice is a great guy.

Just seems there are some recent posts from people complaining about items never arriving, or incorrect items, etc. I'll keep an eye out, and hold off until the new batch is actually available.
