Summary	06458: intv, intvoice, intvecs: unable to run some uncommon and newly released games and world series major league baseball
Description	I tried to thoroughly test the Intellivision emulator in MAME and found a few problems detailed below.
Steps To Reproduce	using mame intv or intvoice: "ms. pac-man" ms.bin - hangs at title screen "donkey kong arcade" dkinty.bin - hangs at titlescreen "Vectron (1982) (Mattel),int"* - wrong title screen colour, should be black not green (game plays) "yogi's frustration.bin" - hangs before titlescreen "super nfl football.bin" - hangs before titlescreen scarfinger.bin - hangs before titlescreen "blow out.itv" - hit arrow key at ttilescreen ; unable to get to menu "AD&D Tower of Mystery.bin" - stuck at titlescreen using mame intvoice: USCF Chess (1981) (Mattel).int* - press arrow key to pass title screen; garbled graphics (okay using mame intv) using mame intvecs: World Series Major League Baseball (1983) (Mattel) [!].int* press scroll lock to enable keyboard press c at titlescreen for computer vs computer demo mode press spacebar when instructed to continue play
Additional Information	Note that "blow out" has two other games in the menu but they are not included in the rom. intellivision ms pacman at http://www.carlmuellerjr.com/search/label/Ms.%20Pac-Man%20for%20Intellivision . *Common roms found in "Mattel Intellivision (GoodINTV v2.03).rar" found at any rom site. Others in the attached zip. These roms have all been tested in jzintv emulator and work well. Intellivision bin/int/itv rom files often come with a similarly named cfg file. That cfg file contains the memory map information for the rom. Roms that use the simple Mattel memory map often don't have a cfg file. Intellivision roms that have a .rom extension have the rom and cfg data merged together.

Note that bin2rom is unable to convert "world series major league baseball". The following files work correctly in .rom format "yogi's frustration.rom", "super nfl football.rom", scarfinger.rom, and "blow out.rom", "Magic Carousel (Prototype) (1983) (Intv Corp) [!].rom" using mame intv: "ms. pac-man" ms.rom - after title and setup has garbled graphics and crashes "donkey kong arcade" dkinty.rom - plays with garbled graphics "Vectron (1982) (Mattel),rom"* - same wrong title screen colour, should be black not green (game plays) "AD&D Tower of Mystery.rom" - same wrong title screen colour, should be blue not green (game plays) using mame intvecs: "Game Factory (Prototype) (1983) (Mattel) [!].rom" game factory requires the ecs computer adapter at title screen hit any keyboard key to get menu use keyboard arrows to menu 5 and keyboard enter use game controller to play game keyboard key to return to menu -game has garbled graphics -title screens are green instead of black

No.13510 Tafoid Administrator Dec 28, 2016, 01:51	Acknowledging this for now. Note that there are a lot of those titles which are already marked "preliminary" in the Intellivision softlist (intv.xml in the HASH folder). When I can get some time to go through all mentioned, I'll verify anything that might need to be flagged or test for regressions.
