"The RCA Studio II is a video game console made by RCA that debuted in January 1977. The graphics of Studio II games were black and white and resembled those of earlier Pong consoles and their clones. The Studio II also did not have joysticks or similar game controllers but instead used two keypads that were built into the console itself. The console was capable of making simple beep sounds with slight variations in length.

One distinct feature of the Studio II was its five built-in games. Also unique to the Studio II was its use of a switchbox that relayed both the modulated RF signal of the console's video to the television set while powering the console with DC power. This type of hookup would not be seen again (or thereafter) until the Atari 5200 used a similar video signal and power connection method.

The Studio II was not a successful product; it was already obsolete by the time it hit the market when compared to the previously released Fairchild Channel F, and had its "final nail in the coffin" when the superior (to both) Atari 2600 console was released only 10 months later. It was discontinued in 1979." (Wikipedia)

What is No-Intro?
No-Intro is a project to create complete rom collections for various systems. It aims to provide roms which are accurate to their physical counterparts. This means no dups, hacks, or bad dumps. No-Intro collection are updated often to ensure that files are as accurate as possible. If you are an emulation junkie, these collections are a must.

Goodsets are the old standard for complete rom sets. The last goodset was updated over a year ago so many of them are missing games at this point. In addition, goodsets include a lot of bad dumps which are useless to most people. No-Intro sets contain only one good rom for each region and are packaged in individual zip archives allowing them to be played directly by most emulators. No-Intro sets are starting to take over where goodsets left off for this reason.

Normally the No-Intro collections are hard to all track down and when you do find some they are often incomplete and outdated. Well no more I say! I'm going to be uploading my No-Intro collections so that they are finally more freely available.
