wolfy62 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I am trying to acquire this game and TNT Cowboy on cart. Is there any word on the potential availability? Thank you!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Magazine Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hello, thank you for your interest! I just got confirmation from Elektronite that more cartridges of the 3 Kai Magazine games will be made after DOTC units are delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hopefully Good Deal Games stocks those carts again. That is a great place in the US to buy games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think that was definitely part of the plan as that’s where I was able to buy my DOTC & my Ninja Odyssey Cartridge. I literally missed TNT Cowboy & Anthropomorphic Force by a few hours as Michael only had so many on hand and they sold out very quickly. I don’t have anything definitive, but I believe every effort will be made to get some more at Good Deal Games which would be awesome as Michael is a really nice guy & always provides excellent service & communication in behalf of Elektronite’s games. Fingers crossed was hopping to play for Christmas but might have to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 You could always buy the roms and play on your LTO Flash while you wait (if you have one?h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yeah I actually got one but haven’t even opened it or set it up yet (want to do in coming months) & I’m technologically challenged so hopefully I can figure it out or get help from someone.

Intymike Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I wonder how many guys are out there that own a LTO Flash and don‘t use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its harder than the AtariMax and Harmony carts, but easier than the Mateos 7800 cart. Besides the list on the left half side of the GUI, only the lists on the right half side are confusing.

+intvsteve Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I haven't used AtariMax or Harmony carts. Do they just have one long list of games instead of arranging things in folders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but the menu looks the same as it does in the sd card folder on your PC, except that the little folder icons are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - that explains it. Windows Explorer is your "menu layout editor". I can't say quite why the CuttleCart 3 for Intellivision didn't use that, rather than its own custom menu editor. Since LTO Flash! uses flash storage instead of an SD card, we needed to implement a "folder hierarchy" in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max of 16 64kb games. Might be off on a detail, but close enough. You need windows XP or some additional software on your PC for Vista on up or Mac/UNIX. Oh, and you need to change the extension of your game files to a cart specific code dependent on file size and bankswitching method. So, there are like twenty different codes.

+intvsteve Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Neat! Kind of a hybrid of the oldest literal "multi-carts" with DIP switches and newer storage mechanisms. There are all kinds of ways to approach creating these kinds of products. Heck, just the ol' Intellivision has done this three very different ways! But... I think we've strayed a bit off-thread here. Hopefully the distribution of Elektronite carts can be streamlined a bit so more of us Intellivision fans can get these games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
