Thanks mr_me for the additional info. Just glad I can play the games now on my desktop with original controllers. Thanks again. Joe

mr_me, thanks for your help. I changed the permissions to read only and that did not help. I did get it to work by: jzintv -z3 -f1 Baseball.bin "--kbdhackfile=hackfile.cfg" after moving the hackfile to the jzintv2016/bin directory with jzintv executable. Also seen the keyboard map file was not setup right. Below is the fix for that. ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- map 0 ; activate with F5 ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; map the keyboard for the left controller 1 PD0L_KP1 2 PD0L_KP2 3 PD0L_KP3 4 PD0L_KP4 5 PD0L_KP5 6 PD0L_KP6 7 PD0L_KP7 8 PD0L_KP8 9 PD0L_KP9 0 PD0L_KP0 - PD0L_KPC = PD0L_KPE LSHIFT PD0L_A_T LCTRL PD0L_A_L LALT PD0L_A_R UP PD0L_D_N DOWN PD0L_D_S RIGHT PD0L_D_E LEFT PD0L_D_W ; map the keyboard for the right controller Q PD0R_KP1 W PD0R_KP2 E PD0R_KP3 R PD0R_KP4 T PD0R_KP5 Y PD0R_KP6 U PD0R_KP7 I PD0R_KP8 O PD0R_KP9 P PD0R_KP0 [ PD0R_KPC ] PD0R_KPE RSHIFT PD0R_A_T RALT PD0R_A_L RCTRL PD0R_A_R L PD0R_D_N / PD0R_D_S .

One little thing and it wont work. I will it out with / and if it works put back in rom directory. Also thanks on the path testing method. Thanks Joe

mr_me, thanks for your help. I tried with and without quotes and changing ~ to home/joey and still not working. Also downloaded the version in your link. jzintv-20160817-linux-x86-64.zip I tried again changing quotes around and still not working.

Please let me know if you have any more suggestions. Sorry I have not been on forums in long time posting. Not sure if code tag is giving readers a scroll bar for the code. It's not on my end. Thanks very much for your help! Joe

The jzintv emulator works great on Ubuntu 14.04, except I can't get jzintv to open the hackfile. Jzintv version: Linux 64-bit build. jzintv-20150120-linux-x86-64.zip I got this from: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/234067-jzintv-2015-01-20-build/ In the post It said bugs in hackfile were fixed, so I tried that out with no success. I used the command: jzintv -z3 -f1 Baseball.bin --kbdhackfile="~/jzintv/rom/hackfile.cfg" All is fine till I use the hackfile tag: --kbdhackfile="~/jzintv/rom/hackfile.cfg" I get error: Couldn't open keyboard map file '~/jzintv/rom/hackfile.cfg' Jzintv can read input from intellivision controller via Ultimate Pc Interface. jzintv -z3 -f1 event_diag.rom I can see all the buttons and directional input on both controllers. This is the hackfile I used below. ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- map 0 ; activate with F5 ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; map the Keyboard arrow keys UP KEYB_UP DOWN KEYB_DOWN RIGHT KEYB_RIGHT LEFT KEYB_LEFT ; map for the Ultimate PC Interface - joystick #0 - left controller JS0_BTN_03 PAUSE JS0_BTN_04 RESET JS0_BTN_05 QUIT JS0_BTN_00 PD0L_A_T JS0_BTN_01 PD0L_A_L JS0_BTN_02 PD0L_A_R JS0_BTN_08 PD0L_KP1 JS0_BTN_09 PD0L_KP2 JS0_BTN_10 PD0L_KP3 JS0_BTN_11 PD0L_KP4 JS0_BTN_12 PD0L_KP5 JS0_BTN_13 PD0L_KP6 JS0_BTN_14 PD0L_KP7 JS0_BTN_15 PD0L_KP8 JS0_BTN_16 PD0L_KP9 JS0_BTN_17 PD0L_KPC JS0_BTN_18 PD0L_KP0 JS0_BTN_19 PD0L_KPE JS0_N PD0L_J_N JS0_NNE PD0L_J_NNE JS0_NE PD0L_J_NE JS0_ENE PD0L_J_ENE JS0_E PD0L_J_E JS0_ESE PD0L_J_ESE JS0_SE PD0L_J_SE JS0_SSE PD0L_J_SSE JS0_S PD0L_J_S JS0_SSW PD0L_J_SSW JS0_SW PD0L_J_SW JS0_WSW PD0L_J_WSW JS0_W PD0L_J_W JS0_WNW PD0L_J_WNW JS0_NW PD0L_J_NW JS0_NNW PD0L_J_NNW ; map for the Ultimate PC Interface - joystick #1 - right controller JS1_BTN_03 PAUSE JS1_BTN_04 RESET JS1_BTN_05 QUIT JS1_BTN_00 PD0R_A_T JS1_BTN_01 PD0R_A_L JS1_BTN_02 PD0R_A_R JS1_BTN_08 PD0R_KP1 JS1_BTN_09 PD0R_KP2 JS1_BTN_10 PD0R_KP3 JS1_BTN_11 PD0R_KP4 JS1_BTN_12 PD0R_KP5 JS1_BTN_13 PD0R_KP6 JS1_BTN_14 PD0R_KP7 JS1_BTN_15 PD0R_KP8 JS1_BTN_16 PD0R_KP9 JS1_BTN_17 PD0R_KPC JS1_BTN_18 PD0R_KP0 JS1_BTN_19 PD0R_KPE JS1_N PD0R_J_N JS1_NNE PD0R_J_NNE JS1_NE PD0R_J_NE JS1_ENE PD0R_J_ENE JS1_E PD0R_J_E JS1_ESE PD0R_J_ESE JS1_SE PD0R_J_SE JS1_SSE PD0R_J_SSE JS1_S PD0R_J_S JS1_SSW PD0R_J_SSW JS1_SW PD0R_J_SW JS1_WSW PD0R_J_WSW JS1_W PD0R_J_W JS1_WNW PD0R_J_WNW JS1_NW PD0R_J_NW JS1_NNW PD0R_J_NNW Please help or point me in the right direction.
