The multicart one is cool, the colored edges are a nice touch. and opt2not there's a vecmulti version you can try here: http://vide.malban.de/5th-of-january-2020-berzerk-again Some impressive flicker free programming going on there. good day. |

Some really cool vecfever porn. Thomas added an option to rotate menu text, fantastic for the horizontal coin-op game list, no more taco neck. :cheers: For those curious of what star wars looks and sounds like running on a vectrex. The static binary translations are really impressive, you'll notice the lack of x-wing and shield graphics. He includes different graphic settings that omit thing to save on the needed draw cycles. Game play and vector drawing comes direct from vecfever while receiving controls and sending sounds to vectrex. For the limited 3 channel yamaha sound chip on the vec, Thomas did a fantastic job of translating some of the sounds over, even R2 chirping towards the end as I was about to die. I wish every vectrex owner could have one of these carts. good day. |

Not that I need those, but it will be great to kill the secondary market and have some good quality repros at a fair price. Check out his store here: http://www.vectrexmulti.com/order2.html good day. --- End quote --- Wow! Thanks for this update. That's great news. I'm going to need to pick up a few so this is good timing. And yes, people are asking stupid money for original overlays so I'm excited to have some options. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for these reproductions on his site. |

So how does one get a vecfever cart? |

Hi Chopper, I am just now looking at the old post. Looks great! I am building a Vectrex controller with an analog joystick mine has 5K pots not 10K. Would you mind sharing with me how you wired the resistors? Thank you for any help!

Stumbled upon 4 yellow "mini arcade buttons", no other colors, couldn't find anymore stock, there was just 4 of these. Brain instantly went into overload and I raced over to Fry's to obtain a robotics joystick and a slanted project box. Was able to whip up this nifty little thing. The joystick is sooo nice and the buttons are pretty damn good as well. Perfect controller to have out when I have friends over, won't have to hover making sure they're not abusing my sh!t. After some trial and error I came up with the absolute perfect combo of resistors to compensate for the 5k pots in the robotics joy, an original stick has 10k. Using the test rom I was able to have the original and mine side by side and get the sweep matched up on the new one. Played 2 minutes of hyperchase, yup feels the same.... :cheers: Thing came out great. I had to go with the strain relief on the side because of the way the back of the box is molded, the bottom ridge is too tick to slot and work with the relief. And a pic for size comparison to original. After about 20 minutes of play after building it, I'm pretty impressed. Will report back after some more gaming sessions. good day. --- End quote --- |
