Well I wasn't sure if I should put this in Project Announcements, Software, or here.

I don't own a PSP (yet), but I'm a big Vectrex fan. Thanks for making this happen.

So far there doesn't seem to be much of a crossover between Vectrex fans and PSP emulator fans.

Thanks that'd be great.  I think it should be runnable on 1.5 but it's possible that you'll get an error message saying it can't find or open rom.dat.  If that's the case then I have to change the way I get the rom path.

If I had a PSP I'd be all over it too, huge Vectrex fan here.  If I ever have a PSP it won't be until they're under $100 though.

Yeah it works fine on my 1.5 no problem. I copied the folders as per the Readme and it started up no problem, straight off the memory card, even though I have had issues running other emulators on my PSP.

I thought that the fire button wasn't working for a start but you just cannot see the bullets. I don't know if you could originally. It may be beacase the resolution or something (im no expert) isn't correct in the same way that you cannot read the text easily as you stated and so they are too small to show up.

Anyway I hope this is of some help and good job so far, Im off to blast some more asteroids!  :)

Same deal here. I won't buy one until they get significantly less expensive. Once I do have one, I expect this to be one of the first things I download for it.

Hmm by that time it will be almost impossible to buy ones with 1.5-2.0 firmware.

Also I tested it and it works. Also I got the seamonkey pack and have been causing trouble at work with the sony remote. There is a wega tv in the lunchroom and have been using the psp to switch channels on the tv and swtich it off. The fools at work think I am playing a game.

By that time the unit will be end of life and there will be tools to change that.

Version 1.01 is now available as the first public release (1.0 was limited to BYOAC ;)).

The only significant changes are a big improvement in video quality (It's full of stars!) and I integrated Mine Storm into the executable where it belongs.

Doh!  I should have submitted something to them since Zeus tends to miss important info in his news posts.  Like the author of the port, and the fact that he made the broken version available.
