timmy2tone Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Is there a dedicated facebook page or website that has all of the cores for the phoenix, new and past ones? I thought I found it, but can't seem to locate it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+evg2000 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Don’t update if you have one from the new run. It came with latest. If you upgrade you will actually downgrade and it can cause issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphro72 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Also I don't think the Pencil II core will work with the new run of Phoenix systems as they need an update to accommodate the hardware added to the newest run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played Treasure Hunter with the Pencil II core last night using a Phoenix from the latest run. Fun game. I'm curious to see the other games if they are ever released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed since the Colecovision, Atari and service Menu all needed to be updated that the Pencil II would have as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked in and you are correct, I am incorrect. The Pencil 2 core was not updated and an update is required due to the HDMI changes. Edit: Apparently the Pencil II core was already based on the updated cores in the first place, so should be fine for the new machine.

I need to verify, but I think it was built with the new hardware settings, so it should work on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifershalo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 hi, where do you get the Pencil II core (and game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be buried somewhere on the forums here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswift74 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hi, Has there been any discussion about an Intellivision core for the Phoenix? I think this would be great addition to the console, and would support this, even if there was a purchase required to help with the cost associated with assisting with the development. Thanks, Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I don't think we are ever getting new cores. 7800 and 5200 cores would be no brainers besides the mentioned Intellivision one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think it'll happen.. Eventually. I sure hope so anyway! It would be a darn shame if not. ?. Can't recall if it's open source or not, but maybe someone could try making different cores, outside of the CollectorVision team. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 TI99/4A core also!!!! So many new games taking advantage of F18A graphics upgrade. I would assume the PHOENIX would also have? PLUS Parsec and Moon Patrol would be enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
