Download jzIntv.exe dated 7/4/2011 by clicking HERE It needs to be uncompressed and replace the current jzIntv.exe installed.


jzIntv is working but where are all the games?

The games are avaialbe on the Intellivision Lives and Rocks CDs.


I get an error saying "Can not write start.bat". How do I fix this?

I installed jzIntv but it does not play the games. What am I missing?

The main files (listed below) are also needed to play all the games. They need to reside in the directory where jzIntv is installed. These files are NOT part of the installation and can be obtained from the Intellivision Lives or Rocks CD.

* Executive ROM: Commonly named EXEC.BIN or EXEC.INT.
* Graphics ROM: Commonly named GROM.BIN or GROM.INT.

* Entertainment Computer System ROM: Commonly named ECS.BIN. Required to play ECS games.
* Intellivoice ROM: Commonly named IVOICE.BIN. Required to play Intellivoice games.

(The above files should reside in the directory where jzIntv is installed.)

* Game ROM images: These can be download from the internet or purchased from Intellivision Productions.
