Alright, I've rewritten Bliss yet again in C++, and done away with C# completely (what a P.I.T.A. that was!). Deployment is a piece of cake now, since there...
Good to see Bliss back in development! Sorry that I won't be able to try it out until next week. -Joe ... From: "Kyle Davis" <kyle-davis@...> To:...

I've hammered out the last major bugs tonight in a marathon coding session and made the first Bliss release in over 3 years over at the new Bliss web site....
Anyone know where I can find an intv2pc or cgc? I've already gotten 3 requests asking about support for these devices. I've googled around and can't seem to...
I'm also interested in the intv2pc API documentation. I'm planning to add intv2pc and cgc support to Kinty. I think the Division Software website is down for...
All, There really isn't an "API" for the INTV2PC controller. It's a pretty simple device. You read it by directly fiddling the parallel port. To read both...
Cool! Thanks, Joe. What about adding intv2pc and cgc sections to the Wiki? I can try to write something. Ok, mostly copy/paste operations, I guess. :) --...
These are some really dumb questions that point to the fact that I own more hardware than I have time to play with. 1. What EMUs work with INTV2PC? 2. Is there...
... AFAIK, jzIntv and Carl's INTVPC. Not sure if other emus support it. Joe, Kyle, Arnauld? Have any of you added support yet? ... You need to run software...
No, I haven't added INTV2PC or CGC support, which is partly why I was asking where to buy an INTV2PC. I noticed Joe F. has sales on hold for the CGC. If there...
Kyle, I don't think you can buy an INTV2PC unless someone puts their's on eBay. Willy & Scott stopped making them years ago. I don't think anyone plans to...
... Not quite on the same topic, but software limitations brought it to mind... I'd love to see drivers for the CGC on Linux. I run jzintv on my Linux laptop,...
- ... I should probably work w/ Joe F to see about bringing support to Linux. It shouldn't be that hard. I think he's using a generic USB I/O chip, in which...
... The one I have had the best success using is UserPort. More info at : http://www.mattjustice.com/parport/par_nt.html Intv-Win is supposed to support the...
... Funny you say that. I actually have that exact comic on my cubicle wall at work! It's from way back in 1995. I'm one of the few guys in my department...
... I would love to fund a project that would produce original hand controllers that would work similar to the ones Intellivision Productions sells. The ...
... It will not. It can only read. ECS/piano need one of the I/O ports set to "output" so that the keyboard can be matrix-scanned. --Joe We sell Spatulas,...
... speaking of which (cgc), i finally got a chance to see one in action a few weeks ago and was quite impressed (plus had never opened an inty before and...
... No clue. That's Joe Fisher's site, though, and he's a regular participant in this list as well as the author of Nostalgia, so hopefully once he see us ...
... Anyone who does not have one has waited to long to order it. (my opinion) Products sold for the Inty are not done for profit but for love. We must give...
... As for making controller replicas, I'd imagine the mylar sheet circuit and maybe the keypad would be the toughest parts. The outer shell and even the disc...
... If we were to redesign it, it might be worthwhile to design it to be matrix-scanned, with the appropriate isolation diodes, etc. That way, you'd always...
... Copying the PCB is probably a gray area, but providing a near duplicate of the exterior of a hardware component has been tested in the courts before and...
... Interestingly, the Mattel cartridge shells have a copyright embedded in them, but I don't see one on the hand controllers. I'm personally more interested...
... I doubt that Intellivision Productions owns the copyright to the hardware. The cart shells have the copyright on it for the game and not the shell. If a...
Boy howdy, did I miss a thread this weekend ;) I was too busy breathing hardwood smoke in upstate NY :) Anyway, on to the questions. ... Not Nostalgia. I...

... What are you using to actually read the controllers? I'm guessing you must have multiple chips in this beast, since "bit bang" mode seems inadequate for...
... The FTDI chip is just a USB-Serial converter, so its output is fed into a PSoC microcontroller. The hand controller's 8 data lines are each tied to an I/O...

... Ugh. The cases were the worst part of the CGC, too. Even though we provided DETAILED instructions to our manufacturer, I still had to hand modify each...
