It's actually pretty cool (and easy) to do. It is seriously as if the Vectrex creators were thinking two decades ahead to us BYOACErs. They even included a perfect channel in the Vectrex for the monitor cable! The full instructions for doing this are at www.zektor.com/zvg/ You do need to buy a special cable from Zonn to hook it up ($15). Took me 20 minutes from start to finish to hook it up, and it is completely reversible if you want to play with your Vectrex games again. --- Quote from: Stingray on February 02, 2006, 12:22:27 pm --- --- Quote from: shawnzilla on February 02, 2006, 12:17:33 pm --- I do already have a PII 200mhz system that I have been using as a testbed coupled with a Vectrex as a monitor. --- End quote --- Back up!

(it'd be sweet if there were a Windoze version of VectorMame, so that this would cease to be an issue for us vector freaks). --- End quote --- Amen, brother! I finally got sound (SB 4.1 PCI, I believe) but am having a hell of a time with some of my controls. Being able to use USB would be REALLY nice... Wow, good to know that I was an inspiration! But now I have your wife AND mine mad at me... :) Direct quote from wife: "That thing is nothing but a money pit." |

That ZVG.com link is in German and there are no links on the page that I could find. My friend google found the instructions for me though. http://www.zektor.com/zvg/downloads.htm Thanks for the heads-up! :) -S |

Whoops, I updated the link in my post. :) I'd love to see someone make a vector bartop out of one of these. --- Quote from: Stingray on February 02, 2006, 12:31:16 pm ---That ZVG.com link is in German and there are no links on the page that I could find.
