Well, 3 weeks of work has brought me a complete Intellivision on a chip! This is a complete Intellivision with ECS support and Intellivoice and Intellicart bankswitching support. It runs everything flawlessly now.

Intellivoice is 100% simulated now and should be as accurate as it can get. Beeee seeevunteeen baaaaaaaaaaaaahmer!

    That music player is every bit impressive as the sid music from the commodore 64! Wow! That really shows off the Intellivision's musical capabilities!

    @otakuzim Yeah I did. Took about 3 days to write and debug it. Everything is written from scratch.

    I wish you would have done the Full version of Space Patrol that uses the 3 extra ECS Audio Chanels to add percussion and the Buzz sound when you jump.

    Cool stuff, what hardware are you running this on? I just got myself a MiniMig and will be soon looking into how to load new cores onto it. Will you be releasing this ?
  • So, how about an original-cartridge-playing console based on this, now that you have experience with the NTmini? Maybe one piece of hardware with Atari VCS/2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision cartridge slots and controller ports? (Preferably with full Intellivoice+ECS support, so it would need four Intellivision controller ports, with ports 3 and 4 being right right width apart to plug in the computer keyboard or music keyboard.)

    Please release this for the NT Mini someday.
  • I know that the in-game piece from Thunder Castle is Schubert's Unfinished Symphony Mvt. 1, but what was the intro? That sounds Bach, though...

    Melody Blaster the original rock band?
