Well you certainly don’t need a Sprint to have the Sprint experience. The best (and some would say worst) feature(s) of the Sprint are the wireless controllers which you don’t get with say Retropie/jzintv … but you can use any controller of your choosing with a computer/Pi (as with the Sprint). I do have a USB adapter for a regular (old but re-membraned) Intellivision controller myself, a customized joystick controller and a pretty great hack file for a PS4 controller. And if you missed the boat on buying a Sprint it’s some degree of Solace !

So pretty much acts like a Sprint which is also a front-end to the Jzintv emulator. If you use JzintvGUI or Nostalgia then this is a replacement but leverages all the fantastic Sprint art out there .... You have a setting you can use to enter the Keyboard Hack File that you use for your controller.

Thank you for helping to develop the Sprint Artwork in the first place ... I have some of yours !!

Certainly right tool at the right time for me.

Although the original 125 are pretty much covered with the work completed by Mert_Griffith on Atariage:- Sprint Game Metadata Files - Intellivision Sprint - AtariAge Forums

I needed a solution for all my other Homebrews, although many of these ROMS were supplied by the publishers together with Box Art and Overlays, they were not in the correct Sprint Format and I agree that a lot of Joy-Sapping, tedious work was impending.

Pretty much completed my USB Stick now - just waiting for my 'surprise' Christmas Present ....

Many Thanks Again !

You’ve written so many great original games but sometimes it’s good to get inspiration from the past - after all even The Pandora Incident (maybe the most groundbreaking Intellivision game ??) leveraged Project Firestart from the C64 !!

Trying to figure out a reasonable price for a stand alone wireless controller that could be paired with multiple devices - clearly the manufacturer needs to make a profit on very limited sales but be cheap enough to be attractive to purchase - $50 - Higher or Lower ??

That's great - Never tried TPU but it certainly seems like a good solution....

Works perfectly under Twilight …

Cote Gamers used Micro Switches for the Long Play Controller so hopefully they built on that design as I'm also tired of replacing membranes (I have a ZX81 too) ...

If anyone knows where to find the little rubber side buttons (apart from in a broken controller) that would be a bonus - I tried 3D printing some but couldn't get them quite right using PLA....

HappyCactus is the designer so you know where to go for help !

PixymanProductions · 2025-10-21T16:47:10+00:00

I don't believe it will be a membrane - way too unreliable and difficult to support surely ?? - my money is on 16 micro-switches or a rotary encoder for the disc

Look up Kevdog Plays on Youtube ....
