  • @theawesomegamr, I think you are missing the point. Visit the August 2010 entry on my website to see the limitations I found and why I was doing this. The ulitmate goal is to build a full size arcade cabinet.

  • @RichardCyberPunk - yeap, I play on Vectrex everyday! - something to do whilst I wait for my Windows PC to boot up....

  • @paulspydar - haha - indeed what you say can be considered true. But check out my 2010 news blog on my website, and you will see that this was just an experiment. My eventual goal is to have a Vectrex using a Vector arcade monitor.

  • no, another Vectrex Nut made that- see kokosplace.50webs.com/PS2_Inte­rface/PS2_GC_Interface.htm

  • Its just a video camera pointing at a Vectrex screen. For more info head to vectrex.co.uk and see the Sunday 23rd August news entry.

  • You're always thinking up new things to do with it :)

  • Just trying to keep Vectrex alive Darryl

    :)

  • i dont like this im scared now :( lol

  • this sucks the real thing is way better plus you can put the overlays on the real thing...

  • @vectrexmad At first I was like, "What?! A vector to raster scan converter?! How??". Pointing a video camera at the screen seems to work really well. Clever!

  • Have you played your Vectrex today ? Not on a flatscreen, but of course on the real one . Hardcore to da bone. hehe. Greetins from the High Tech Team, Danish

    Dragons,etc.

  • looks great & plays well, but if your going to use a modern CRT & a PS controller ? then IMO its not really a Vectrex & you might as well just emulate it...

  • Did you create the PS2 controller mod yourself? Nice work! :)
