Intellivision Expansion Module for Colecovision

[+xucaen]

I work with Two EE's one of which is a Ph.D who have indicated that the technical aspects of making this happen are trivial (for them).

 

 

 

Find out how trivial it would be to make a 3-in-1 console(Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision) similar to the retron consoles. It would be nice to have a shiny new console that plays all 3 consoles' cartridges and not just a flashback.

We were just talking about putting both the Atari and INTV in one expansion mod ... The biggest hurdles are avoiding a C&D.

I would absolutely buy an INTV expansion to go with my VCS expansion. Would be nice to get an MSX expansion also. Also I'll be the first to say a Sega SG-1000 expansion would be cool too.

Yes

Uhh how? Can't see how any kind of console adapter would work with the F18a considering it doesn't have any kind of video input.

Ehh... you just re-route the flux capacitor through the dilithium crystal chambers... or was that the other way around... And just in case you cross the wiring and find yourself in the early 1980’s, would you mind grabbing me a NIB Colecovision at ToyRus on your way back.

Pretty ambitious project and I wish you all the best if you decide to proceed. Seeing as there is no way that I can see this little endeavor "flying under the radar", acquiring proper licensing would probably be the biggest challenge and more importantly at a reasonable cost so as not to kill any hope of this project coming to fruition.

Licensing is the biggest hurdle for sure...

Anyone confirm if on the CV expansion slot, pins 11, 27, 31, 35, & 39 are 'open' that runs the Colecovision? Confirmed... This design will allow the Exp Mod to switch off and back to CV/Adam as opposed to unplugging.
