What does it do?
It emulates the execution of the Intellivision game console
within Jitter.
The underlying philosophy is identical to
jit.atari2600.
How was it done?
The
Bliss Intellivision emulator was heavily modified to work within the Jitter environment. In addition to the underlying emulator functionality, new features were added such as ROM and GRAM access visualization.
Any known issues?
Only one jit.intellivision instance is able to run within a given Max/MSP patch. Audio is a tricky issue (see below).
Like jit.atari2600, this external is currently prototype quality.
Is audio supported?
Audio is enabled, but due to the nature of the emulation, it only sounds good when running with extremely high sampling rates (e.g. 192 kHz).
Intellivoice support is also enabled, but
must run at 44.1 kHz. The external has two signal outputs, one for the standard audio and one for the Intellivoice. It's an either/or choice. Make your decision, set the sampling rate, and connect the appropriate signal patch cord.
What platforms are supported?
Currently, WinXP only. Until my PowerBook gets fixed, there won't be an OSX port.
If you would like to port it, let me know (masochists only).
What atrributes does it use?
This page should help.
How can I use it?
First, you need
Jitter. Second, you need to find yourself some Intellivision game and system ROMs.
(Note that I cannot provide either.)
When you've got those two, then just
download the external. (Version 0.5. Released 2/18/06)
Where's the source?
Just ask.
