I think the Intellivision SGM/SEM/IntelliXpander will be a tougher sell than the ColecoVision SGM. The ColecoVision SGM brought quite a few MSX conversions, and I think just a few "new" games (not ported directly from other consoles/computers). The ColecoVision has many "cousins" that share microprocessor and video and/or audio chips, so conversions are very common. I'm not aware of any cousins of the Intellivision, so I'm guessing conversions would be more difficult, and therefore the number of games would be fewer. Of course I don't know what this thing does yet, so who knows, really? Ah, who am I kidding... everyone will buy 3 anyway. I'm not too familiar with the internals of the ECS, but an ECS/Intellivoice/RAM/EEPROM all-in-one expansion unit might be useful. At the same time, I like the concept of the planned SGM2 for the ColecoVision, where it's not required above and beyond the SGM1, but has some advantages that people might enjoy.

Too real, but available in collectible colors:

I'm using the ignore feature for the OP, and although I sometimes feel the need to click the "view it anyway" button, it makes me feel better because then it's my choice to read the nonsense, and it's not forced on me.

After each period of time, velocity = velocity + acceleration. Also, location = location + velocity. If acceleration is constant at 1, then the speed will increase each period of time by 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., up to the maximum speed. Also, the location will jump by that amount each period (i.e. 1, 3, 6, 10) I think I got that right. I'm sure someone else could confirm.

Good to hear from you!

It's like movie/music/TV award shows... you can choose to reject the award, but you can't choose to reject the nomination.

An FPGA is programmed. Someone needs to write the program. For video games, usually this is not by re-engineering a chip's schematic. Usually this is done by investigating data sheets and/or making note of the operation of the original. In this case, an FPGA solution is essentially emulation, that is, it is not a direct copy of the original schematic, but instead, it's an interpretation, and prone to needing revision based on comparison to the real thing (just like software emulation). Take a microprocessor, for instance a 6502. I'm pretty sure any FPGA solution for this chip was programmed using the data sheet, and following that by comparing the operation to a real 6502. People normally don't refer to the schematic of the chip to obtain a program. Also, usually schematics of the chip internals are not available. tcdev's got it right, here.

I think that right off the bat there were quite a few people not drinking the Kool-Aid.

Send me one and I'll confirm it.

Keep at least double the resolution of the printer you'll eventually be using.

I only have a guess: a capacitor (or two). I don't know what else it would be.

There's other solutions for the signature, too. Anyway, I was just pointing out an alternative for you to think about, based on my experience. I've seen the range from labels printed on $30 inkjet printers to labels printed on million dollar tools. Not that there's anything wrong with either of those solutions, but personally, I prefer to use my local printer with some good label stock, for a mostly great mix of price, quality, and speed. What you prefer and what you do are your choice, of course, and maybe the plastic coating is best for a device that will be handled more often than a cartridge.

Alternate is glossy labels from a local printer. Get the printer to cut them, or cut them yourself. If you want/need rounded corners, maybe the printer can do that too, or try scrapbooking tools. A couple of dollars or so for about 6 labels.

Thanks Carl. Now I know how to respond to anyone who wants a copy of it in its original form, or a hack of it.

Carl, as DZ asked, what are the terms of the code/ROM release?

And I don't think I want to know the rest of the story... .

I definitely noticed that.

Buy a core 2 or an i3 or i5 computer. Maybe from eBay or from a company that sells off-lease computers. Probably less than $100. Run an emulator, maybe Apple or some other well-known computer.

I have boards for sale if you need them. 32K version and "halfmega" (Megacart compatible up to 512KB). They come fully assembled, and are re-programmable using most EPROM programmers.

Is it the memory configuration? 1: King of the Mountain, Space Shuttle, WSML Baseball, Championship Tennis 5: Pac-Man, Congo Bongo, Defender, Dig Dug 6: Centipede

Go Leafs Raptors!

... time to test out the "ignore" feature... .

Eric, I'v mentioned it before, and I'll say it again: You can't control other people. You can only control the way you react to a person. You have at least two options... 1) blame Rev, and make an ass of yourself by doing it publicly; 2) Let it go, make peace with that decision, and don't make an ass of yourself.
