In terms of stability
Comparison Overview
Comparison Overview
| Environment Type | Vector / Line Stability | Setup Difficulty | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| RPiTeam Image | Good (includes standard calibrations) | Very Easy (Flash and play via BalenaEtcher) | Users who want working arcade games, menus, and sound immediately. |
| Bare-Metal (May 2025) | Excellent(Drastically reduced wobble/shaking) | Moderate (Requires manual file placement / code building) |
Thanks, do you have a link for the RpiTeam image. I went to their website and the download link just takes me to a page infested with popups that I can't seem to get through
I had the same issue. Would be grateful for a link if anyone has it available. Haven't tried my pitrex (or vecfever) for a couple of years.
Don't bother with the vecfever. Totally crap. But I'll give you £50 for it just as I'm curious 😇😁

Sorry, you could have had it for free but I just remembered I binned it as I thought it would be crap with a name like that!

You want bare metal as it has better vectors than the other piteam image

OK, thanks yeah I'll try both. I found a better download for the RpiTeam image:
3.69 GB file on MEGA
seems to be legit but I haven't tried it with an SD card yet.
Where's your bin located ?😁
Thanks, I'll give that a go. Do you need an account to download it?OK, thanks yeah I'll try both. I found a better download for the RpiTeam image:

Thanks, just spoke to James and he had one left so managed to grab that. Any recommendations for overlays?
Congrats, you got lucky! The moon one. Seems to work well with lots of games. It's a natural for YASI (Yet Another Space Invaders). A crazily good raster version of SI on the Vectrex.
Wondering if the Star wars one works with the Pitrex version. Might order that the moon one you mention and the holocube one
I haven't got the Star Wars one but can't see why it wouldn't look good on pitrex.
