Very cool @intellinate do you have any instructions on where to get the custom firmware and how to install it?

I preordered 2 units. Was never really interested in the new games, my sole desire was to play the old games in a modern tv using wireless Intellivision like controllers. I lost the enthusiasm with all the delays and also when I learned that the original games would not be available at launch. I cancelled one unit after the first delay and now am thinking of cancelling the other one too. I really love my Ultimate Intellivision, it allows me to play my beloved childhood games in a modern tv, albeit with wired flashback controllers.

Got it to work. I simply opened the rom in a hex editor and modified the first bite from 41 to A8 and now it runs perfectly. Thank you @mr_me

Libretro (freeintv). I am trying this because I would like to be able to play SCBT with my wireless 8bitdo controller. I am able to do this running SCBT on Argon, but cant get it to work on my pi4 with libretro.

Thank you @mr_me, I just noticed that when I try to launch SCBT I get this message on the bottom left of the screen: “Configuration Override Loaded”. Could this be the problem?

Thanks @mr_me. Wow, that sounds very complicated to this old man’s ears (I am not tech savvy). So I guess I will have to abandon the idea of playing SCBT unless someone is willing to help make this format conversion. I will be happy to pay for this effort if anyone is willing to do it.

Thank you @mr_me, can you please explain what you mean by a format conversion?

I am trying with Jzintv and Librettro. All the official Intellivision roms run fine. I can also run some home brews like Ms Night Stalker and Super Pro Baseball. The ones I am not able to run are Super Chef BurgerTime (a screen flickers for one second and it goes back to the games list as described in a post above). MsPacman only gives me a black screen. Thanks for any help.

that was his problem. I helped him solve that. Hi guys, I am having the exact same trouble with Super chef BT. I must have the unofficial version of exec.bin. Anyone care to help me? Thanks in advance.

So I gave up on Openemu and instead installed jzintv on my Mac and the LTO Flash GUI guided by a great video from @ColecoJoethat I found in Youtube. It is working perfectly with the Flashback controller, coupled with the Retronic usb adapter and the special hackfile. Thank you mr_me.

Thank you for your reply. I think it does, this is what I get from your link:

Hi guys, looking for a little help getting to play Inty on openemu with the Flashback controller. I am using a Retronic Design usb adapter. When I plug it into my Mac openemu successfully detects the Flashback controller (it shows in the dropdown menu, please see attached image). But when I select the controller and launch a game the controller does not respond. What am I missing? Thank you for your help. UPDATE: I got it to work partially by trying a different usb port on my Mac. The problem I am now having is that when I try to map the Flashback controller buttons, some of them can not be modified (for example, button 3 always wants to be mapped as disk up command). I guess this has to do with the hackfile. I found a special hackfile in the Retronic Design website, but I dont know how/where to include such hackfile into Openemu. Any ideas?

Thank you, this is the setup I was considering. Does the Ultimate PC Interface connect directly to the flashback controller or do you need a special adapter? I ask because I remember reading that the flashback controller is wired differently.

Hey guys, what is the best way to emulate Intellivision on a Mac nowadays? What controller are you using and how do you hook it up? Any way to play with a wireless controller that provides a satisfactory experience? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Burger time. Gotta have it!!

Do you know if it is possible to play Intellivision games in Nvidia Shield using RetroArch or similar? Thank you.

Looks cool. I would be happy to buy one...
