i noticed the format for intellivision roms is different than .rom files used with your port of mess/intellivision.
what do you need to do to convert a newer intellivision romset that is .bin, .int, .itv also .cfg files that go with some of these as well?
i had to use an older cdi of the intellivision dc emu and the roms that were in the software/intv folder.
i also found these intellivision system bioses:
intv.zip - Intellivision
intv2.zip - Intellivision II
intvecs.zip - Intellivision Entertainment Computer System
intvkbd.zip - Intellivision Keyboard Component
intvsrs.zip - Super Video Arcade
there might be a few others that i'm missing from that list. mattel aquarius?
voice talking is what i wanted but it's even hard to get that working on 2003 mess it has to load both at once then load the cart at the end

the arrow keys are right next to numpad.
you would have to do some odd maneuvering to get the dc controller d-pad next to the keyboard numpad and maybe tons of duct tape lol idk.
The Intellivision isn't like the Atari 2600, it has angular movement just like a Dreamcast game and it was a round disc for movement like a D-Pad on a Dreamcast controller. 16 directions in all, the first of it's kind.
