Contributions to the source are welcome! ### Controller overlays Mattel Intellivision games were often meant to be played with game-specific cards overlaid on the numeric keypad. These overlays convey information which can be very useful in gameplay. Images of a limited selection of Intellivision titles are available at: http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bluesky/games/instructions.shtml ### Controls * **Mini-Keypad** - Allows the user to view and select keys from a small Intellivision pad in the lower corner of the display. * **Controller Swap** - Some Intellivision games expect the left controller to be player one, others expect the right controller. This isn't a problem if you have two controllers (and don't mind juggling them) but users with only one controller or using a portable setup would be effectively locked out of some games. Controller Swap swaps the two controller interfaces so that the player does not have to physically swap controllers. | RetroPad | lr-freeintv Function | | --- | --- | | D-Pad| 8-way movement | | Left Analog Stick | 16-way disc | | B | Left Action Button | | A | Right Action Button | | Y | Top Action Button | | X | Use the Last Selected Intellivision Keypad Button.

Add custom retroarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in `/opt/retropie/configs/intellivision/retroarch.cfg` For more information on RetroArch controls see: [RetroArch Configuration](RetroArch-Configuration) ********** ## jzintv [Visit the jzintv homepage](http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/) ## BIOS jzIntv requires at least the first two Intellivision BIOS files listed below to be placed in the libretro 'system' folder: | Function | Filename* | MD5 Hash | | --- | --- | --- | | **Executive ROM** | `exec.bin` | `62e761035cb657903761800f4437b8af` | | **Graphics ROM** - 213 predefined character images and some EXEC routines; Tutorvision variant | `grom.bin` | `0cd5946c6473e42e8e4c2137785e427f`| | **Entertainment Computer System (ECS) ROM** - additional EXEC routines, the BASIC programming interpreter, and graphics of musical notes | `ECS.BIN` | `2e72a9a2b897d330a35c8b07a6146c52` | | **Intellivoice RESROM** - resident ROM containing common speech words and phrases as well as program instructions | `IVOICE.BIN` | `d5530f74681ec6e0f282dab42e6b1c5f` | | Keyboard Component EXEC ROM - BIOS for the Keyboard Component peripheral; PicSe (picture sequencer) routines for multimedia software | ? | ? | * BIOS filenames are case-sensitive ### Controls: By default, jzIntv maps the first (left) analog stick to the left controller's disc input. In addition, the first 9 buttons are mapped to the 3 action buttons as follows: 
Buttons 0, 3, 6:  Top action buttons, left controller
Buttons 1, 4, 7:  Lower left action button, left controller
Buttons 2, 5, 8:  Lower left action button, left controller
jzIntv maps the first joystick's first hat's 8 directions to the numeric keypad on the right controller, making the hat usable in games such as Night Stalker and TRON Deadly Discs. [[Source](http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/jzintv-1.0-beta3/doc/jzintv/joystick.txt)] It is possible to remap these using a keyboard hack file. Instructions on creating these can be found [HERE](Mapping-a-Controller-for-Intellivision). Keys 0, Clear and Enter on the numeric keypad are not mapped by default so a keyboard hack file would be required to this. #### Keyboard Controls ```shell Function/Special keys, all maps: F1 Quit F4 Break into debugger F5 Switch to keymap 0 (default keymap) F6 Switch to keymap 1 (left controller only for 1 player games) F7 Switch to keymap 2 (ECS keyboard keymap) F8 Shift to keymap 3 while held (command keys) F9 Toggle fullscreen/windowed F10 Toggle movie recording F11 Take screen shot F12 Reset emulator Pause Pause the emulator PgUp Increase volume PgDn Decrease volume Numeric Keypad, maps 0 and 1 1-9 Left controller 1 - 9 0 Left controller Clear .

This is likely to be the case for titles from Atarisoft, Imagic or INTV Corp. First determine which config file your rom requires from this [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar_02usomyeqdHFyaGRnNWdLN1FzWTN3ajlacXBPWFE). Next download the config file from [here](https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7_02usomyeqeWJVamRNM2FPUUk) and rename it the same as the your rom. For example, you are trying to get `atlantis.int` to work. From the spreadsheet, you see that it takes memory map #7 so download `7.cfg` and rename it `atlantis.cfg`. Place it in your roms folder and your rom should now work. Full details about using memory map config files can be found [here](http://atariage.com/forums/topic/203179-config-files-to-use-with-various-intellivision-titles/#entry2605274). ![intellivision](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/10035308/8246393/3e98c8c2-15fb-11e5-9398-3f5abd60361b.png)
