IntelliMac is a native macOS app that brings Intellivision gaming to modern Macs by embedding the jzIntv emulation core directly inside a SwiftUI interface — no external processes or subprocess overhead.
Key Features
- Embedded jzIntv core for full-speed gameplay
- Metal GPU-accelerated rendering and low-latency AVAudioEngine audio
- On-screen virtual controllers (keypad, directional disc, action buttons) for one or two players
- ROM library: scan folders, search games, save favorites; customizable per-game keypad overlays
- Keyboard, mouse, or drag-and-drop ROM loading
Requirements & tech: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later; written in Swift 5.9 with C. You supply your own Intellivision BIOS ROMs (exec.bin, grom.bin) and game ROMs. Build with git clone --recursive, then swift build && swift run IntelliMac.
