Post by: RayB on November 08, 2005, 02:17:17 pm: Chad, how hard do you think it would be to flip the X drawing of a Vectrex monitor? I'm thinking my project should be an "enhanced" Vectrex cab, where the image is reflected (a la "Asteroids Deluxe").

Post by: ChadTower on November 08, 2005, 02:21:59 pm: Erm... best initial guess is that it would best be done in the software, since you could swap X and Y pretty well in hardware but all that would do is rotate the image.

Since your vector image is really just connected points on an XY plane, you'd have to multiply all values by -1 to produce a mirror image, or else design a small circuit to change the direction of the signal voltages (i.e. 4v X to -4v X and 5.6v Y to -5.6v Y).

I could be wrong, that's just my initial guess at it.

Post by: ChadTower on November 08, 2005, 02:23:38 pm: Oh wait... rereading, all you want to flip is X? That may be easier, but the concept is still the same.

Why would you want to reflect the image? Overlay?

Post by: ChadTower on November 08, 2005, 04:14:55 pm: I have an AD myself, so I'm familiar with the concept.

The primary issue with it would be that each Vectrex game has a unique overlay. Good idea, though, and I suggest you start a thread in another part of the forum so we can explore it further.
