Papa Intellivision Website

Wed Feb 8, 2012 6:00 AM

I just found a website dedicated to the memory of David P. Chandler (Papa Intellivision). It has some amazing documents that I have not seen before on Intellivision III and IV. Plus history documents about Mattel considering the TI chip for the original Intellivision. There are a lot of documents there the website was designed and created by Dennis I. Smith, son-in-law of David P. Chandler.



I would like to thank Dennis and the family for putting the website up I don't know what ells to say but thank you.

Is VI/Play a backward step?

Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:42 PM

Hello from what I understand development for mameui has stoped and that it is now IV/Play. Now please don't flame me I am new to Mame but from what I can tell MameUI was better, being integrated for one. So with IV/Play you have to download a version of Mame and then add it to it separately. Also I liked the look of the menu interface being able to easily select working roms add to favourites the text was small so you could see a big list in one go. It just seems IV/Play is a backward step in terms of ease of use am I missing something.



If I remember mameui installed and created a ini file why should you have to go into a command line and create one shouldn't the install do all that automatically. Again I am not trying to complain and appreciate the effort off all those involved I am just genuinely confused and probably wrong and missing something. I did read something about decupling it from the mane core to make it easier to update, but even then shouldn't there be a version that just has it built in already that you just install.



Thanks for any info
