My guess would be that they would just choose from games that are on the PS2 lives collection.

Oops i didn't read the part i could select multiple answered until after i voted. lol

Game 4 is tough. This was my 5th attempt. I think i can do better. It is ok to use auto fire right? Don't want to put a lot of stress on the side buttons.

Alcohol is a very poor cleaner to be honest. It's mostly recommended because while it does little good (aside from wetting the surface) it also does little or no harm.
Same with Q tips. You could easily use paper towels, a rag...whatever, you're just providing something to scrub with, though a mild abrasive would work better, most people recommend against it as it is possible to damage the carts (in the very long term, unless you're using like 40 grit sandpaper to "clean" it with
)Whenever I have problems, and the alcohol doesn't work, I do use more chemically chemicals
though I've never heard of Deoxit (I'll have to look into that one) I have used contact cleaner's and polish a lot though (though only when alcohol alone won't work) Also, I do take the carts apart and use a soft eraser to scrub the contacts with, you'd be amazed what that will take off to, but again, it's because it's abrasive. Anyhow, cool to hear you got you're cart working. Hope for many more years.
Deoxit is a contact cleaner.

Quick update.
I possibly fixed it.
I originally cleaned the cart with 90% Rubbing Alcohol. I even took the cart apart and used multiple Q-tips until i didn't see black anymore.
After i posted that last message i decided to clean it again but this time with De-oxit. It's what people sometime recommend on older carts like Intellivion or Atari 2600 carts if you can't get them to work with just alcohol. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea for Nes carts or not. But i cleaned the Burgertime cart with it. A little more black came off too.
I did 3 quick run throughs and it hasn't reset. Maybe i fixed it. Hopefully i'm not jumping the gun. I will have to try it more tomorrow. I could of just got lucky.
A side story, i received Donkey Kong for the Intellivision in the mail today. I cleaned it with Rubbing Alcohol, once again with multiple Qtips until i didn't see any more black. Tested in the console and nothing. I wiggled with it and still nothing. I blew into the cart and got some response. But the game would freeze or not start at all. I then decided to use some De-oxit and a lot more black came off. It wasn't as much black as what came off with the Alcohol but i was still surprised how much was still left on it. Let the cart dry. Tried it again, and came on perfect first try and didn't freeze. I guess sometimes alcohol alone isn't enough. Now i'm gonna try and clean some other carts i been having trouble with. Maybe i will get lucky. I just bought the De-oxit recently but haven't really used it much. Stuff is expensive and i don't want to waste it. lol

It's a brand new 72 pin connector. This is the only game that does that. And all my games are cleaned.

My copy of Burgertime resets to the title screen. And it happens not long into the game, sometimes minutes into the game, sometimes seconds. And this is the second copy of this game i have purchased and both have this glitch. Is this a common problem?
I have a friend who just bought a copy of Burgertime and so far his hasn't reset.
I just recently found out about the Colecovision version resetting. Now i'm having trouble with the Nes. I am not having good luck here. lol

You have to play those games. Just imagine all the fun you will have.
-
My last and final attempt. And my best one yet.
-
It sold for $25. But that's still overpriced.
-
Intv Funhouse also doesn't have these strange JUEGO Intellivision carts. Not sure if they are bootleg or just foreign. But there are a lot of them on Ebay at the moment.
-
Here is a box variation of Donkey Kong not on Intv Funhouse, someone from Italy is selling it.
-
In that case would you mind if I took a whack at it?
Sure, that's why i posted the info. Was hoping to see if someone could actually do it.

HUNH! That's interesting. I've never given any thought to building a mod controller, but my Mattel box is First gen.
I have found a pinout at beeslife.com. That should get you to which switch will give you l/r and u/d.
That's a really cool idea you've got. I hope you pursue it!
That would almost certainly make you an INTV hero!!
That's nothing i would attempt. I have no modding skill and i have a shaky hand. I can't hold my hand still anymore. I did replace the battery in one of my Genesis games but i swear i just about missed a few times and almost burned a hole in the mother board lol.
-
I myself do not have any modding skills whatsoever but i'm just throwing this out there anyway for anybody who is interested.
I decided to mess around and see if any of my controllers would work on my Model 2 Intellivision or if they had any response what so ever. I only tried 3. The Atari Joystick had no response at all. The SMS pad also no response. But my newly acquired Nes pad which was modded to work on an Atari 7800 had some interesting results. I tested it using Burgertime. It actually responded, but all the directions were mixed up. Down was Up, Left was Right, Up was Left, and Right was Down. Also the A button also worked for the pepper.
So i wonder if it is possible to make some sort of minor adjustment to the controller to fix the directions. That would be pretty damn cool using an Nes pad for select Intellivision games.
I was using a Genesis Controller Extender with the end shaved down, because the Nes Controller nor the Extender will fit in the controller port. But you could simply shave down the end of whatever controller you used.
I have never hated the Intellivision Controller like some people. But i will admit that certain games like Burgetime would be so much easier to control with a Dpad. My Nes controller made a world of difference on Burgertime on the Colecovision.

That's too bad. We need a bugfixed version of this burned to EEPROMs because it's otherwise an excellent port of the game.
I wish I could fix it...
Does the Mattel Prototype ROM has this problem too ?
Maybe this version is not corrupted?
I didn't know anything about that. Did Mattel's programmers make Burgertime for Coleco?
I hope i'm not giving you incorrect information. But i just recently heard of this version myself. I am under the impression that it was never released officially and is just a unreleased prototype. But roms exist.
Here is a youtube of it.

Can't wait.

That would be awesome.
I want to get Beef Drop soon. It's at the top of my want list. But a non buggy Coleco version would be totally awesome too.

After some searching i found this. Didn't find this in my first search.
-
Well i guess that explains everything. lol
I guess it's just random when it happens. Espicially since the record holder for Burgertime (using actual hardware) on TwinGalaxies is over 1 million points. That's a long time playing with no glitching.

For some reason this topic gave me this Deja Vu feeling, like i think i may have owned a painted on label when i was a kid. But all those games were sold and lost forever unfortunately. But i'm almost positive i had one, just not sure for which Intellivision game.

I'm ready for Burgertime again too lol. I just picked up a set of mint Intellivision II controllers and i'm ready to put them to the test.
