FrizzleFried:

So...has anyone here built a Vector MAME cabinet with the Zector ZVG?  If so,  can you please post your experiences with it...good...bad...ugly...

I am very much considering making one (or two...gotta have a B&W and Color one!)...



ChadTower:


I haven't built one but I have played one... it's quite good.  Does the job well.  Not inexpensive but if you want the true vectormame you have to use the ZVG.

If you haven't, take a look at that emulator that was just put forth in the software section.  I can't get it to work with my video cards but the commentary from those who did says it looks great.

Naw...if I am going to do a Vector MAME it's going to be right.  There is NOTHING that can emulate the true vector experience....well,  the true B&W vector experience....color vectors are lower resolution (at least the WG6100 is) and isn't quite as impressive as the hi-res B&W's....

But if I do it it would come down to which monitor I could obtain,  B&W or color....

Why would you need two? If you had a color vector monitor, can't it display white vectors as well as color?

shardian:

Exactly how many B&W vector games do you really want to play on a regular basis other than Asteroids and Omega Race?

Besides, alot of single gun vectors used overlays. The asteroids of a local guy I know has a green overlay. using just the green gun of a color monitor would do the same thing.
