| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − | '':Mostly copy-pasted from main website:''
| |
| − | | |
| − | FreeIntv is a libretro core Intellivision Emulator, intended for use with RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 3. The primary goal was to allow one to play [[wikipedia:Astrosmash|Astrosmash]] without needing to use a keyboard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A few unique features allow easy play on a typical SNES or PlayStation style joypad.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first is the "mini keypad" that allows you to view and press keys on a small keypad that appears in the lower-corner of the display while L or R is being held.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The "X" button is also mapped to the last selected keypad button, giving quick access. In Astrosmash, for example, you can leave "3" selected to enable instant access to hyperspace.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Finally, the select button lets you switch the left and right controllers. Some 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. Pressing select from either controller with swap the left controller for the right and vice-versa.

| − | ===Features===
| |
| − | * Virtual Keypad
| |
| − | * Full 16-way movement
| |
| − | * A Pause Button!
| |
| − | * Pre-configured .int and .bin
| |
| − | * Support for intellicart ROM images
| |
| − | * Pre-compiled for RetroPie on Raspberry Pi 3
| |
| − | * Pre-compiled for Windows 10 (x64)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==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.

| − | ===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. Instructional text files and images of a limited selection of Intellivision titles are available at: http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bluesky/games/instructions.shtml

| − | ==Issues==
| |
| − | FreeIntv does not currently support [[wikipedia:Entertainment_Computer_System|Entertainment Computer System (ECS)]] and [[wikipedia:Intellivoice|Intellivoice]] functionality.
