So, when do we get access to the vault?

There is no physical cartridge plugged in. I am defining a cartridge based XEX as a game that was originally a cartridge such as Berzerk, Defender, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Missile Command, Star Raiders, etc. I haven't tested everything but those don't work for sure. Some other XEXs do work fine that were not originally cartridges such as Canyon Climber, Salmon Run, Pacific Coast Highway, etc.

When PBI is enabled, it just shows boot error. When disabled I was able to see that it is apparently ignoring the Loader setting for Basic which is disabled and still booting Basic. FJC said the loader setting should override the firmware setting anyway. I was just making a note of the toggle behavior by disabling PBI but that's really not the main issue I am having.

Yes, I am using a XEL-CF adapter. I have Basic disabled in the loader but also disabled PBI and SpartDOS in the firmware and it is indeed booting into Basic. It is also a little strange to me that when I disabled PBI, it disabled the Basic state toggle in firmware and will only allow Default. I have attached an image to show this.

Yes, I have it disabled in both places.

Hello, I am using version 3.10 firmware on my 1088xel. I have set BASIC to disabled in the SIDE loader but I can't load any cartridge-based XEX games. When I select them, either I get a blue screen with the cursor in the upper left corner on some games and garbage on others. Other non-cartridge games load and run fine. I have tried disabling basic in the firmware, tried with and without 8k cart rom enabled, with and without SpartaDOS enabled. It seems almost like the basic cartridge is still enabled even though it is disabled in both setup menus. I have had this issue before and somehow got it to work but now it isn't working again. Any ideas? Thanks

Has anybody posted this on the Intellivision forum?

I'd be up for both a left and a right version.

Oh OK, totally cool. I just wasn't sure what to expect. Thanks!

I purchased a membership on 12/16. The order in my account history still shows "processing" and no downloads are available. Anybody know if this is normal? I was thinking I would get access to the vault after ordering.

I think that would be fantastic as having it implemented this way would be much more useful. The first thing I thought about was writing a talking terminal program. Very cool prospect, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks

Just watched the video on how SAM has been implemented. Very cool feature! I did notice that Basic stops executing though until #FujiNet (or SAM) is finished speaking, which can take a while. I am wondering if there is a way to allow Basic to continue executing while #FujiNet is processing the speech? Thanks

Amen brother. It has been a long, long road. Hats off to Saint for seeing this through despite all the ups and downs along the way.

I'd be interested depending on price.

Paid for mine today! So excited.

The EclaireXL is really great, I recommend it highly. Playing Star Raiders with acceleration turned on is pretty awesome. I also have a 1088XEL with Rapidus and although the 1088XEL is also amazing, I have not been at all impressed with the Rapidus. The EclaireXL is excellent bang for the buck.

Oh yeah, that was later though.

I remember when I got one of these back in the early 80s, I was really confused and surprised Commodore was selling knockoff Atari joysticks... and paddles too. It was pretty weird.

I have had problems with both Lotharek and a couple of his products. I would find somebody else to produce if it were me. Maybe contact Krikzz or Terra Onion, they are already in the console SD cart market.

Played it at PRGE yesterday... very nice!

My absolutely love the Intellivision but despise the controllers. Same with the Colecovision and the Atari 5200.

+1 for Defender of the Crown, truly one of my favorite games for the Amiga! If you guys have any questions about the local area, let me know...

I am going... nice that I only live a half-hour away.

Hey my friend, put me down for one each of whatever you end up doing.
