IntyMan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 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.zipI 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.

mr_me Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Try it without the quotes. And then try putting the quotes around the entire switch like this "--kbdhackfile=~/jzintv/rom/hackfile.cfg". Thats how it works in windows to deal with spaces. If that doesn't work try a different path without the ~. Isn't the version at http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/newer.

IntyMan Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Check file permissions on hackfile.cfg. I would think no more than read permissions is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olmstead Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It looks like the / at the beginning is missing. Try: jzintv -z3 -f1 Baseball.bin --kbdhackfile=/home/joey/jzintv2016/rom/hackfile.cfg And if that doesn't work, use 'ls' to make sure the path is right. eg: ls /home/joey/jzintv2016/rom/hackfile.cfg For example, on my machine, without and then with the begging /: olmstead@marty:~/intv> ls home/olmstead/hackfile.txt/bin/ls: cannot access 'home/olmstead/hackfile.txt': No such file or directoryolmstead@marty:~/intv> ls /home/olmstead/hackfile.txt/home/olmstead/hackfile.txt Then you know the path is right and you can copy and paste it into jzintv jzintv -z1 --kbdhackfile=/home/olmstead/hackfile.txt intybasic/samples/controlle I hope that helps!

IntyMan Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 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.

mr_me Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) i did some testing in Ubuntu [16.04] and have it working with a full path. Here's what I found. It doesn't like the '~' in the path, use full path starting with '/' as olmstead suggested. If you have spaces in the file path, surround it with double quotes. Unlike Windows, it doesn't matter where you put the quotes. It doesn't like upper case in the file extension, lower case file extension only.

IntyMan Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks mr_me for the additional info. Just glad I can play the games now on my desktop with original controllers. Thanks again. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
