juancho Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, what is the best way to emulate Intellivision on a Mac nowadays? What controller are you using and how do you hook it up? Any way to play with a wireless controller that provides a satisfactory experience? Thanks in advance for any advice.

ColecoJoe Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I use jzintv with a Ultimate PC Interface and flashback controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 OpenEmu is very good, but I haven’t tried to put any sort of controller to it. I agree about jzintv and the Ultimate PC interface as being probably closest to the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You can play with an xbox/playstation style controller. Not as good as a disc but it can be done. For best results, different button mapping can be used depending on the game. For example with AD&D and Deadly Discs, map the disc to the right thumbstick and keypad 1-9 to the dpad.

Thank you, this is the setup I was considering. Does the Ultimate PC Interface connect directly to the flashback controller or do you need a special adapter? I ask because I remember reading that the flashback controller is wired differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoJoe Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yeah you need an adapter for the FB controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The upci supports the flashback controllers directly. If you are only using one controller you can get the 2600daptor. http://2600-daptor.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yep... Just a few months back verified that two or three of the various USB interfaces work just fine w/ jzIntv on Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
