Added controls chart.
* 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. Contributions to the code are welcome!
