Vector mame

--- Quote from: paigeoliver on August 10, 2004, 06:45:45 pm ---The best option if you want to do vectormame is to buy a complete and working Space Duel, Black Widow, or Gravitar. The black and white monitors won't make you happy, and Star Wars and Tempest cost too much money.
Although the PROBLEM with the whole vectorMame idea is that there is no ideal set of controls.
We have.
Buttons, Asteroids, AD, Space War/s, Space Duel, Gravitar, Rip Off, Star Castle, Armor Attack, Barrier, Demon, Eliminator, Solar Quest, Space Fury, Sundance, WoTW
Dual joy 8-way. Black Widow, Starhawk, maybe others,
Analog joys (assorted types) Red Baron, Star Wars, Empire, Lunar Lander, Tailgunner 1 and 2,
Spinner - Boxing Bugs, Tempest, Cosmic Chasm, Speed Freak (sort of), Major Havok, Omega Race, Star Trek, Tac/Scan, Zektor,
Trackball - Quantum
You would pretty much have to go with a Space Duel + spinner layout, which would unfortunately keep you from playing some really great games.

This is all true. I have a Space Duel that I am going to convert. I have a Star Wars yoke.
I am going to use a swappable panel scheme similar to Doc's, only I will be swapping in whole panels. Here you can take advantage of the fact that although you need lots of controls, there are really only a few different layouts to play all of the games.
I am also going to add full vectrex emulation to it, with controllers and 3d glasses.
Yes yes, this will be sweet as hell. As soon as I get some clear funds for the ZVG.
rchadd:
how much is the ZVG is it expensive?
ChadTower:
$239, plus $15 for a premade monitor cable if you don't want to make one yourself, which I don't if I don't have to.

It plays MOST of the vector games; but uses a laser projector, and can be projected onto anything that is available (wall, building, clouds, etc...).

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.

Pity it hasn't been updated since 2002. :(
