Here's the cheat-sheet for making these cables that I put together some time ago: DB9 diagrams MALE PORT FEMALE PLUG _________ _________ ( 1 2 3 4 5 ) ( 5 4 3 2 1 ) \ 6 7 8 9 / \ 9 8 7 6 / \_____/ \_____/ Mapping for converter for plugging an Intellivision flashback controller into an Intellivision --------------------- Socket (M) end -> Plug (F) end 1 4 2 6 3 5 4 2 5 9 6 8 7 7 8 3 9 1 Your mapping doesn't look like a simple reversal, something else went wrong there. This is the mapping layout I use when I make the adapter cables. And yes, for anyone reading here who has requested a set from me, I am behind -- I got seriously sick in December and am still recovering. I'll be making adapters soon for the handful of orders that have been sent my way... Encouraging to see others in the community attempting to make these on their own, however! It's an "open source" kind of hardware thingy... [EDIT LATER] I just took another look at Paul's video and his naming of pin-to-pin is very different than the diagram I posted above. mr_me's posting of three pin mappings agrees with my list, and I know I've used this diagram and list to make these cables before. I think I see the mistake Paul was making in the video. He was treating both ends of the cable as if they were numbered identically -- using the Socket (M) side numbers for the pins on both sides. E.g. his first connection he describes as pin 1->2. The actual connection should be M pin 1 to F pin 4. He's basically saying "row 1, 1st column on the socket side to row 1, 2nd column on the plug side as you look at them end-on".

Since Joe's circuit came up, did anyone see 8-bit guy's video where he attempted to use it AND also pull out the RF box and it wouldn't work? He ended up putting the RF box back into the circuit and things started working. For folks who know such things, what would need to be added to Joe's mod to be able to pull out the RF box?

Geez, where is this alternate marketplace for purchasing "other" games?

Hmmm... missed seeing this one last year. I'd love a version of Ghostbusters on the Inty!

Gah! Same here! I'm not sure I understand the longer term plan for these carts. I get needing seed money to get everything necessary to do a batch. Are there plans to do a second run if there's interest?

Gettin’ ready for extra life day... should be ready to start live streaming around 8:00am EDT.

Hey there fellow MP1000-ers. I somehow ended up with two of these, one indicates "MP1000" on it and the other says "M1000". Is either one more desirable and/or more rare than the other?

In this episode we discuss the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2019, Paul interviews the former head of Intellivision game development and leader of The Blue Sky Rangers, Gabriel Baum. And we have a new Amico segment, Feedback, listener voicemails, News (kind of), George, and an extended outtakes! http://intellivisionaries.com/episode-37-amico-portland-and-baum-oh-my/ Plug it into your ear-holes!

Big thanks to all the contributors so far! If you haven't contributed yet, what are you waiting for??? For Ferg to play Intellivision games on his stream??? I think NOT!!! 🤣

Just found out about this cart, would definitely love to get one if possible.

Make it happen!

Thanks so much, Chris! And ummmmm... I'm not sure I'll be doing ALL the things you're asking, but I'll do some.

It's that time of year again! Time to raise money for Children's Hospitals across the country. And time for me to do my yearly 25-hour gaming marathon as my part. Each year I play games for the full day as a bit of an endurance test, and folks donate money towards my campaign. All funds in my campaign go to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. My game playing is live-streamed to youtube at my channel page: https://www.youtube.com/user/rickreynolds1969 The most important bit is the money raised for charity, of course. If you'd be so kind as to support my campaign this year, go to this link: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=381795 You can also find those links and other pertinent info at the front page of my personal website: http://www.rickandviv.net. Please feel free to drop in suggestions for games you'd like to see me play. Intellivision games would be preferred, of course, but if you want to mention games on other systems (systems that I have access to, of course) then I'm happy to pull those into the mix also.

Hey FroggoGamer, if you don’t want to bother with the wiring send me a DM and I’ll see if I can get a set made for you.

HA! I've been doing the same...

I got one of these something like a year ago, then went on a spree to get all the carts. I thought Space Destroyers would be the hardest/last one to get, but I'm having real trouble finding a backgammon cart. Is that one known to be crazy rare or something? Or have I just been a bit unlucky?

In this episode we FINALLY review the Mattel Electronics game Shark! Shark! Paul interviews the game’s designer & programmer Ji Wen Tsao. Rick has a new Hobby Projects / Homebrew Highlight segment on the FW Diagnostic Cartridge and an Intellivision console repair. We also finally have the results of the Easter Egg Contest from episode 35. And we have Feedback, News, and more… although George didn’t show up for some reason? Maybe it was the shark? http://intellivisionaries.com/episode-36-shark-shark/

Box has been claimed.

I ended up with an extra Fight for the Cup box (see this thread for more details: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/277378-fight-for-the-cup-2017-hockey-boxes-last-one-ever/page-1?hl=+fight%20+for%20+the%20+cup). The dummy collector in me didn't keep track of what he ordered! In the interest of staying away from Cmart-like collecting habits, I'm offering it up for $7 plus shipping. PM me if you're interested.

They've all been claimed.

Hey you collector-folk, I'm cleaning out some stuff in my basement and found 4 styrofoam end pieces that go on the ends of regular Intellivisions for storage in their boxes (e.g. master component, system III, super pro, etc). I'd be happy to send them to whomever wants them for the cost of shipping. Keep your in-box systems nicely protected and centered in their boxes! I'll divvy them out in order of people who PM me. If the first person wants all 4, then fine. If the first person wants 1, three will be left, etc.

I just have the one; it's functional.
