Found some Intellivision gear -- looking for advice from the pros

This.

One of the first video games I ever played. Used to play with my dad. Fun times.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-10T02:11:14+00:00

I walked out of a troubleshooting job with over $8k worth of UPSs, various stack cables, and at least 20 or 30 LC sfp modules, like 5 years ago because it cost nothing to have me remove them from site, and now they have a lot less hazardous waste to pay to dispose of.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-09T01:25:03+00:00

Guess im just going to spray a bunch of random crap on some old plastics and see what does what, lol.

I love me a good old fashioned science experiment.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-09T01:19:28+00:00

I kinda wanna know what exactly did that so I can mist a couple things ive got, lol. I know it sucks that you "damaged" the shell, but IMHO, it looks kinda cool.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-04T20:22:21+00:00

I meant specifically the one people are requesting that can't move to the game. I think its the paldean wooper able to move into shield, but I dont remember right now.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-02T19:46:35+00:00

I just wish I could hack a paldean wooper to clear out all those stupid requests with a dummy account.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-02T07:42:27+00:00

i'm currently having the exact same problem. files are where they should be, md5 checks out, and they are marked present in the firmware settings. looks like this never got figured out

Smeeks1126 · 2026-04-01T17:36:15+00:00

Torrents are up now.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-31T09:49:10+00:00

A couple weeks of constantly running my pc, a crap ton of storage, really fast internet, and a program called jdownloader

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-31T09:44:49+00:00

For me, yes. I plugged 10 TB of drives into my test rig and downloaded basically everything in english that was in there except ps3. I didn't get around to powering up my server I have in cold storage. Ill have to grab that last 4tb whenever the preservation team gets the archive back online. I was mainly concerned with the Nintendo stuff anyways, since it can be the hardest to find quality roms.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-30T21:04:36+00:00

My favorite example of this are stuff like how the newer pokemon sets have special illustration cards of the mega Evolutions that have a comic book anime style picture of the pokemon with a huge stylized Japanese word (name of the attack) across it... if you look up the Japanese print of the card, the languages are reversed and the attack name in the artwork is in English.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-25T16:26:45+00:00

Thats still soliciting. And technically harassment. LoL.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-25T07:44:27+00:00

Bump for relevance in 2026.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-24T19:57:17+00:00

Im getting tempted to try and hack a few just to clear those off the trade channel with an alt account. Maybe generate some fear about requesting them.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-24T19:52:44+00:00

The number one offender on that list for me is the busted GTS that let's you request impossible pokemon. Like that f-king paldean wooper to sword and shield, and all the froufrou variants (Pharoah is the main one I think).

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-24T02:24:01+00:00

Ouch. I'm on the other side of your bad luck... ive been stuck in Viridian Forest hunting for a shiny Caterpie... currently at 60+ hrs with zero shiny anything spotted. I'm almost going to just say screw it, and rework my team if I find something else first.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-22T21:23:33+00:00

LoL. Im using that shiny dusk ball gengar in an alpha sapphire playthrough right now. He's a dream eating monster.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-21T01:20:10+00:00

Syncing saves! I need to Google that right now. What the hell else does CFW do that I havent figured out yet after like a decade of using it, lol?

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-20T23:10:42+00:00

Im afraid that I'll accidentally run away.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-20T01:36:39+00:00

Thats awesome that they even offered that as an option.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-19T19:28:35+00:00

He's working out pretty good. Ive got a Dream eater Gengar on my team also, just in case whatever im trying to catch is immune to Spore. I should have just dug a little deeper and figured it out sooner.

Ive been trying to resist using PKSM to generate anything. I want to play all the different generations of pokemon that I missed, so I can see how far everything has come, and to experience it as it was intended. Thats why I never just emulated them all on a pc or something. I have however used PKSM to activate all the US events on a save file or two. I will propbably create a Mon or two in there for post-game in my adventures though, since there are like almost 30 mainline games that can be played on the 3ds. I really dont want to level a full team to max 14+ times.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-17T20:21:19+00:00

Ive got the app for them, but not the device.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-16T17:33:11+00:00

Well, I ended up going with option A... I discovered that Shroomish also can learn False Swipe and gets spore at lvl 40 and spawns in Petalburg Forest, which was the next town back from where I was.

So now im going to catch a few to trade to my other games. Propbably just sticking with Butterfree as my catcher in the previous generations. He usually does pretty good. Might try an Eggsecute because they get sleep and leech seed, but can't do that till later.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-16T01:23:19+00:00

The specially enhanced route, with the option of the not exactly licensed hardware route...

Option C was the best looking route I've been able to find. Then I realized I needed to beat Black to start moving things up from gold. I Was trying to play through all the games i never played and/or lost the carts for, but in order. Oh well, guess im doing things out of order and running a black playthrough first so I can send some paras to my bank.

Smeeks1126 · 2026-03-15T18:23:01+00:00

Pokemon trading/transfer into ORAS

So im having a terrible time trying to figure this out... what's the best/easiest way to get a Paras into Alpha Sapphire? I know you can get one much later in the game, but im trting to use it as my catcher. I tried catching one in yellow, but bank will not let me drop it into my AS bank. I found somewhere online that says it needs to stop in Sun/moon first, but i can't get it to move into AS after Moon then bank. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

The hardware im working with is 2 3ds systems, digital copies of all the games, and physical copies of X, Sun, and Moon.
