wolfy62 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Very cool!? That is pretty much the exact look of my setup. I know the Intellivision 2 always gets a bad rap,but I like mine and it matches up beautifully with all the other components including the system changer.

As well as all the matching add ons. Always bothered me they released the intellivoice to match the original 2609 when everything else was done in white. Save for the Play Cable which also matches the original styling. Is it just me, or did Nintendo borrow heavily from the aesthetic of the INTV II for the US Nintendo Entertainment System? As far as the controllers... I prefer the original style with the key pad bubbles and spongy side buttons. However, I don't hate the INTV II controllers by any stretch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly gray with red and black accents! I as well would have liked a matching intellivoice. I do however use a custom NeoGeo modified joystick that has a keypad (made by AA user Grips03)and Flashback controllers with cable extensions. That works fantastic for me!

+fdr4prez Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 For real *completeness* you will need another set of Inty2 controllers to plug into the ECS for the 4-player games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need any media player . You can use windows media player and when you are ready to SAVE your basic program just hit RECORD on the laptop then ENTER on the ECS . Now you can reverse this and LOAD the program by playing that media file back into the ECS The audio output is treated the same wether its saving to tape or to a laptop Edited February 9, 2021 by rietveld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the volume balance program in the ECS book. Just type CLOD BAL on the ECS and play the BAL.WAV file on your phone or laptop. It will load just like the tape would Edited February 9, 2021 by rietveld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
