  1. Just thought I'd dust off this old thread to see if there is any updating in the works for GUIntv. I managed to get one of the issues I was having worked out (mainly not having the config files put into the rom folder like I was supposed to) but there's still one thing bugging me. When I'm playing D&D Cloudy Mountain, the screen animation is choppy when the screen scrolls upward with character movement. Not down, left, or right; only up. When I was running Lion it was fine, but noticed this after the switch to Mavericks. I wanted to share a short video capture, but don't know the best way to do it here on the forum.
  2. I'm not sure if it's Mavericks friendly. I'm still running Mountain Lion and I can get some games to work using the forever-beta version of jzintv (http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/) combined with GUIntv, which is discussed here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/187657-guintv/. You'll need to google to find the needed EXEC.bin and GROM.bin that are needed, in addition to the game rome themselves. Also useful is the keyboard hack file shared by Zagnalopius on the bottom of page one of the GUIntv thread mentioned above. *edited to add: SDL framework is also needed: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
  3. Hey guys! I'm reviving this old thread to post my updated situation. I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.5 on a 21inch iMac (2013 model) 2.9GHz i5 with 8 GB ram. Huge difference over my G4 PowerPC. Tried to get GUIntv 2.1/jzintv 1.0 beta up and running with some success. Got all my roms in place and preferences set (system/game folders, Exec.bin, Grom.bin, SDL 1.2 framework, etc.) Some games load up fine at 640x480/full screen ok, but the right and bottom parts of the screen get cropped: Also, when I use windowed mode instead of full screen, the "shall we play a game?" file selection window gets stuck floating in front of the game window. It can't be closed or interacted with at all. The only way I've found to clear it is by force-quitting jzintv: Last thing is some games fail to load (Atlantis, for one) and warn of a missing config file, which I see in the bin2rom config files folder of GUIntv. I did get Atlantis to work once, but it was hours ago, and all the tinkering I've done since have rendered it unload-able. Anybody have any ideas? Any word on any software updates?
  4. Sorry. I made like three edits to that last post while I tried to sort it all out. I didn't notice that when I mounted the dmg, I could scroll down to a readme file. So now I just have the exec error to deal with.
  5. You don't have the SDL framework installed on your system. Get it from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php Thank you for the link. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. I downloaded from the only link that seemed relevant to my system (Runtime library for Mac OS X PPC 10.4). I dragged the SDL.frameworks folder to my Library>Frameworks, but now in terminal I'm getting: Error: Could not read EXEC image 'exec.bin'
  6. I downloaded version 1.2 from the first page of this thread. When I set the "Other Preferences", I navigate to "Games" folder so the path should be correct and the case matches. Here's my current preference setup and how I went about doing it: I click "Preferences" then "Other Preferences" If I click "Yes" Here's the "Games" folder I'm choosing
  7. Thanks. I appreciate the attempt
  8. No luck in terminal either. Here's a pic (last name airbrushed out)
  9. I thought it might be my folder structure that was causing the problem. I probably have it more confusing than it needs to be. You're correct the way you read my current structure. My main folders are "Applications," then "Intellvision." Sub folders of that are "JZIntv", "GUIntv12", "Games" (ROMs in bin. format), and "System" (exec, grom, ecs...).
  10. This launcher app is something I'm super stoked to learn about, but I'm having a little trouble with it. First off I'll just say that I'm using v1.2 on my 12 year old iMac running 10.4.11. I've used Bliss in the past, but the sound is super choppy on my system, despite any settings I tweak. I was hoping jzintv would be better, but I have no knowledge of command line stuff. I've tried setting up the GUIntv preferences but haven't been successful. Any ideas what I need to do differently?
