Dunno where to begin on this... so cool in so many ways... and so much functionality.

Apart from anything else the patched in High Score tables with initials that save and a Jukebox with space for hundreds of tracks so you can have your own little chip tune soundtrack... so much win.

woah thanks for the heads up Chris, looking forward to checking this out

Dude, when is this being released?

 

[guddler]

Bookmarked for replies. provided the price is sane, would be nice to maybe get back onto my game development. No time at the moment though.

 

[Sinisteve]

That looks amazing! Someone take my money and get this to me

 

[cparsonsuk]

Dude, when is this being released?

He's just getting a few made to send out to developers to fully test then he'll be getting them made in bulk to sell... no indication of date or cost yet.

As a very nice bonus this also comes loaded with his amazing game Robot Arena that can be played using 2 joysticks Robotron style.

 

[guddler]

Bump - any news?

"Thomas has ordered the VecFever assembled PCBs but he is still waiting for for a company he subcontracted to laser cut a slot/hole in the cart cases (for plugging in the USB plug). Because of the long wait he did try to Dremel out the slot/holes himself but he told me this was not fun."

Not my words but that's the current status

I'm loving mine, it's just great in so many ways. Can't recommend enough when they come out.

 

[virtvic]

Tell him to send me one - I'm have no trouble getting a USB shaped slot in it.

 

[Hurray Banana]

where do we order these from chris?

Nowhere yet Eric, but as soon as they are available I'll put a link on here. Every cart will have the amazing twin stick shooter Robot Arena on it too and, I think, Head On which is an awesome conversion.

I cut holes in a cart shell for mine Vic and it looks fine but I guess you wouldn't wanna do loads and have to get it looking pro.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Cheers Chris

 

[guddler]

Can someone PM me when these can be ordered please? Vic?

I'm no longer on Facebook, don't track any of the Vectrex sites and visit here maybe once every few months. But I would like to get back into my Vectrex game dev at some point and this would be great. Frankly I don't even care if it has a case at all !!

 

[virtvic]

Sure thing, Martin - as I will be getting one, top.

Guddler on the Vectrex game dev scene once more!

Be nice to get back into it once again myself. Mac compatibility is a must. Yep, I'd like one of these too. I have a multi cart already but the serial cable development feature has never worked for Mac.

Does anyone do repro Overlays to go with Multicarts?

 

[Eddhorse]

Theres a facebook group for Vectrex that currently has a guy reproing overlays.

Will get link later

 

[joe34]

Bods another nice option is to use a single generic 'psychedelic' colour overlay for all games, that's what i do, i just leave it on all the time for everything

 

[Nes4life]

That's great! What a good idea!
