jztinv can't write start.bat

[bradhig1]

I have the system roms set up and when I try to play a game it says can't write start.bat why? Am I missing something?

[bradhig1]

I downloaded a newer version and now the games won't go beyond the title screen. When I press 1 the emulator shuts down.

[bradhig1]

I tried nostalgia but all the rom files are in *.int format. Do I need to rename them to bin or rom?

[bradhig1]

Where can I get intellivision roms there are not in *.int format and have cfg files?

?

[mr_me]

Where are you downloading jzintv from?

You can rename rom extensions to whatever you like, except .rom file are different and should remain .rom. And .bin/itv/int files should not be renamed .rom.

 

You can get .cfg files to the original games here, most Mattel games don't need one with jzintv.

I downloaded an old version from the intellivisoin.us site. Roms I have only go to title screen which says SDK-1600 mini exec presents game name. When I hit one to start the game the emulator closes down and goes back to the gui.

Some games only show solid game screen and won't do anything.and nostalgia won't run them either. In the dos window at the bottom of the list it says pc halt 1739

The only rom that works on jintv is donkey kong arcade all others won't..

[bradhig1]

IT is a win32 program and I am using windows 10. Could that be the problem?

[mr_me]

If the exec and grom files came packaged with an emulator they might be "homebrew" versions of the system files. You should get Mattel's versions of exec and grom and rename them exec.bin and grom.bin for jzintv.

 

By the way the default way to start an Intellivision game is to hit the disc. Many games that use the classic exec system will start at a slower speed when pressing one (eg. LocknChase, Burgertime, Space Battle). Some games have only one speed and pressing one might select a skill level (eg. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons).

[bradhig1]

That is was it. What keys are the controls mapped to?

[mr_me]

Default key mappings are in the included documentation.

It runs fast compared to a real intellivision. Any way to slow it down?

[mr_me]

Jzintv? Are you sure. It normally runs incredibly accurate. There is a switch to force it to run fast but I doubt its on. Run chess and check the clock.

[bradhig1]

I don't have chess. Nostalgia runs at normal speed.

[bradhig1]

Seconds on the clock for chess run fast.

[mr_me]

I haven't tested that old version but current jzintv versions don't have that problem with Windows 10. Nostalgia timing is slightly off but it is too small to notice; jzintv is very accurate.

Have you tried Bliss?

Windows 7 (Also, I have a spare computer with Windows 10).

[roadrunner]

Try this version of Bliss, it doesn't need to be installed 
just put the exec and grom inside the extracted folder.

 

Bliss2.0.5 intellivision emulator.7z

Either copy of WIndows should be similar.  Assuming you have jzintv downloaded and extracted to a folder on a local drive, try the following to test that it works.

-place copies of exec.bin and grom.bin in the ./rom sub-folder

-drag and drop a game rom file on to the application file ./bin/jzintv.exe  (the .exe extension might be hidden)

-the game should start in a small window

As an alternative to drag and drop ROM files onto the executable, you could start a command shell and type in the commands. Generally you would navigate to the folder where you have your ROM files and then use \emu\jzintv\bin\jzintv filename.rom. Not quite as UI friendly as you might want it to be, but as a bonus you get to see all the debug print including all possible error messages that you may encounter, without the window closing instantly.
