+the1hatman Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Are you confirming that it plays well on Intellivision II or that it has problems on the original Master Component? Or both? Inquiring minds want you known, for I bought a copy and could never get it to work. We are confirming that the original Game Factory carts work on Intellivision II systems. I think something about the game does not like the ECS being used with other versions of the console or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 5-11under is best qualified to confirm. IIRC it had something to do with the additional RAM on the cartridge board - something about how there are some subtle differences between Intellivision I and Intellivision II, or with how it's configured. Not sure if it was a hardware or firmware issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 You know, I haven't tried the ECS with mine yet. I thought I read that there may be problems with the WBEXEC conflicting with the ECS, though it wasn't clear to me if that only applied to Tutorvision-specific software, or to ECS programs generally... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not sure if that means an ecs cartridge is okay in a tutorvision as long as it doesn't use the 4k of ecs rom at $2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 My suspicion is that the ECS and the WBEXEC are not compatible. My understanding of how the Intellivision boots up is: EXEC starts executing after reset EXEC jumps to $7000 if there is a ROM there. For the ECS, it is there. ECS executes a bit of code at $7000 and then $2000 ECS jumps back to the EXEC EXEC jumps to $4800 if there is a ROM there. Typically, nothing is there (other than some cartridges and the PlayCable) EXEC jumps to $5000-ish. If you have the WBEXEC, there likely will be a conflict between the Tutorvision ROM at $2000 and ECS ROM at $2000. That said, maybe INTV Corp worked around the ECS issue. For example, they could have had the first N words of the Tutorvision's ROM at $2000 exactly match the ECS's so there wasn't conflict there. I recommend just trying it out to be sure.

Racist ROMs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its too late to worry, but still I doubt it will be taken care of. So Game Factory just stays a not working piece of plastic in my shelf. Deal, as a serious collector I dont care of the stuff is actually working or not :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
