IntellivisionDude Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 This is a start to a possible faq or just an organization of all this scattered information. Maybe some of you guys can help me organize and verify some of this. Some of this is random and may not make the final cut. Was there a rom for this? I never downloaded it but would like to. Looks like the site is offline now http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/158794-astrosmash-remake Some Intellivoices won't fit in a Intellivision II http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/133607-some-intellivoices-wont-fit-in-intv-2/ A couple of topics about making overlays http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/110225-intellivision-overlays/ http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50583.0 And a cool site with pics of every overlay and screen shots http://www.hotcom.com/intellivision/ Intellivision controller to USB adapter project http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/intellivusb/index_en.php Intellivision RetroKit http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=47 Jaguar Adapter for 5200, INTV, and CV http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/jag_adapter.html Stickler Joystick Addons https://www.atari2600.com/item--Sticklers--PROD2575.html Cool site showing all the different rom variations http://www.decle.co.uk/ A cool history of Intellivision that i haven't read yet. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3653/a_history_of_gaming_platforms_.php What are they talking about here? http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/150098-shiny-technologies-intellivision-related/ Rev shouting the Knowledge http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/156940-intellivision-history-very-long-read/ Smurf Prototype Picture? http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/144742-smurf-for-intellivision/ I still have 8 more pages to go. I don't want this to be the official final post. But it's a start. I'm sure we could add all the FAQ's that are already out there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Possible Alternatives to the Intellivision II Power Supply The standard Atari 8bit power supply works for me. The ones that are used with a 400,800, 1200xl, 1050, xf551 should work. The tip is the same size too. This is from the faq 9 V AC 15.3 VA (1.7 A) Atari#CO14319 400,800,822,850,1010,1200XL 9 V AC 18 VA (2.0 A) Atari#CA014748/CA016804 400,800,822,850,1010,1200XL,810 9 V AC 31 VA (3.4 A) Atari#CO17945 400,800,822,850,1010,1200XL,810,1020,1050,XF551 9 V AC 50 VA (5.6 A) Atari#CA017964 400,800,822,850,1010,1200XL,810,1020,1050,XF551 An Atari 5200 power supply works as well. Some people say a Jaguar Power Supply will work, while someone else said the tip is not the same size. Also read that possibly a TG-16 Supply may work.

IntellivisionDude Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Another addition to making overlays Actually, you can make your own. Just download some scans from one of the many sites (Intellivision Funhouse for example), reverse them, print (or have them printed) on thick transparencies, and the spray pain the back white. YOu reverse them so that you see the ink from the far side, so it will not wear off with use. Works great. You can do Vectrex overlays the same way. Possible Alternatives to the ECS Power Supply The NES power supply does work with it. Just tested it. You can also use an Odyssey2 power cord or one from a rechargeable drill. I'm glad somebody brought this up, because I haven't seen this information documented anywhere else. Here is a picture of my ECS power supply and connector: I'm getting 10VAC output on the barrel (tip negative), but since it's AC output, the polarity shouldn't matter. The connector is a standard coaxial power connector; I believe the dimensions are 5.0mm x 2.0mm (5mm outer diameter, 2mm inner diameter). The inner diameter is a guess on my part: I compared it to the connector for the Atari 800 power supply (CO17945), which uses a 5.0mm x 2.1mm connector, and while the ECS connector is the same outer diameter, the inner diameter is a bit smaller. The ECS connector won't fit into the 800, but the CO17945 connector will fit into an ECS, although it's a little loose. I've heard that some people have successfully used the CO17945 as a power supply for the ECS, in fact, although I've never tried this myself. I used a 9VAC power supply from and ADAM 5.25" disk drive a few times before I found and ECS power supply on ebay.
