Hi all,
I've been beating my head against a wall this holiday break trying to get my Intellivision emulation working. So far I can get the games loaded easily enough, but the controller configuration is making me CRAZY. You seem like a knowledgeable lot so I thought I'd give this forum a go.
My setup is Windows 10 Pro x64, 16gb RAM, GTX980 video card, Skylake i7 cpu, etc. Plenty of power for an HTPC. I have the Ultimate PC interface with the Intellivision Flashback controllers (I bought the flashback just for the controllers as I have no intention of actually using the unit). I know the interface is set up correctly because it's working fine (controller and all) for the Colecovision emulation, and the Windows game controller control panel sees the Intellivision controller just fine along with all its associated inputs.
The games start up just fine in every emulator. My only issue is control setup in the emulators. So far I've tried Nostalgia 4.2 (inputs not recognized when mapping controls), Nostalgia 5.0 (emulator crashes when I double-click on the gamepad configuration button in the gamepad settings), Bliss (input mappings don't work), and jzintv (I have the hackfile set up in what seems to be correct, but the console window output of jzintv only enumerates the first 4 controllers in my system--- the problem is my adapter is enumerated as controller 8 so it just errors out when I have it set to 'joy8' in the hackfile). jzintv seems like the closest I'm getting to a working setup (or Nostaglia 5 if the crash issue can be resolved).
If anyone has some ideas or can point me in another direction (MAME? Retroarch? Ugh.) I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks
