Setting up and running intellivision on launchbox

Recommended Posts

I am having a hell of a time getting intellivision to run. I have used retroarch, bliss, intelliware, jzintv,  and nostalgia. Some roms run on nostalgia however the legacy intellivison roms do not run. I have gotten most other emulations to run except intellivision and mame. I think I'll be able to have that one running soon. My hardware is an intel I-7 2600k,  AMD RX 580x 8gb, 24bg ram @1333 240gb boot SSD and 4TB 7200 rpm storage for my roms. My Asus P8P67 deluxe board is very capable of overclocking if needed but I chose to run it at stock for now. Any advice or assistance you can render would be very appreciated. Intellivision is my childhood and my first game system so its of sentimental value that I have this emulator running well. I do own an original intellivison which I haven played in 20 years and about 60 or so games for it.

Nostalgia requires multiple BIOS files to work. I am running Nostalgia 5 on 4 different systems with no trouble.

In Nostalgia's home directory I have:

 - ecs.bin

 - Entertainment Computer System EXEC-BASIC (1978) (Mattel) [!].bin

 - exec.bin

 - Executive ROM, The (1978) (Mattel).bin

 - GROM, The (1978) (General Instruments) [!].bin

 - grom.bin

 - IntelliVoice BIOS (1981) (Mattel).bin

 - ivoice.bin

 - MiniExec.bin

 - MiniGrom.bin

 - Sears Super Video Arcade BIOS (1978) (Sears) [!].bin

Not sure if you need ALL of these but it certainly isn't hurting me any.

 

EDIT : By the way... if you don't have one yet you should take a look at the vision-daptor. I use a Sears controller and a Flashback controller on my PC and it's great. Nothing like using an authentic controller and overlays! Just something to check out. :)
