Zektor ZVG on Windows machine!
« on: June 01, 2010, 11:13:32 am »
Don't know if anyone saw this posted over at KLOV, but I didn't find any posts on it when I searched over here:

http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=135842&highlight=zvg

So, the ZVG's only real weakness, i.e., that it required DOS, is apparently soon going to be a thing of the past.  No more futzing with ten PCI soundcards (and all of the settings) to find one that works in DOS, no more suffering with having to use a computer too slow to run Star Wars or ESB, and the ability to use USB for the controls.  Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to take this on, and now it's almost a reality.  Thanks, SteveJ!

Nice - hopefully they start making the cards again. This plus a true vector monitor from Ram Controls would be totally sweet!

There are no plans to produce more ZVG s as I understand it. However, if there is demand, people should let them know.

Yea... Maybe ram can take pre orders for delivery in 2084 3084!

It must be nice to be one of the maybe 12 people who got the yoke so far.   Still waiting here.

It is - however I ordered mine before you...

I would think you'll be getting yours soon - Dave brought on three people just to build the yokes and ship them out.

Incredibly frustrating to read that someone got this to work with Windows/gui Mame and now I can't buy a board! Maybe you should post a link to the files just in case the ZVG is released again? I've tried talking Ram Controls into selling these with their new vector monitors but not real optimistic...
