I finally got around to checking out v0.3 Very nice job, I really like the customisations menu. I have found that the glow setting doesn't quite work all that well so I've had it turned off for a few games but the persistence is great, really helps add to the experience. I agree with BigGman too, the animation isn't as smooth as it was on the original version. It's nothiby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
@ Aruskano - No problem mate, I hope they're are suitable for the job. @ BigGman1 - It's good to see some extra interest in this project, as mentioned previously the only version that's been released so far is on the first page of this thread.....and Space Wars runs perfectly on it. On this version however, the game is called Star Trek but it is exactly the same. (for some reasoby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Sorry, I didn't even think to test it on my PC but yeah I just tried it and it's the same as the wii - no indicator can be seen. It doesn't really matter though, it's not like it makes the game unplayable....just a bit more tricky. lol :)by oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Sweet, I've made up some overlays for the ones I couldn't find - hopefully they'll look as good as the originals. :) The entire collection of overlays is here: That's a good idea about the roms, by doing it that way does that mean the rom and the overlay will be stored on the SD card? This could allow for editing/tweaking the png's (if needed) without them havingby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Hey that's great news, can't wait to see what you come up with. I haven't thought of any new ideas apart from the one I've already mentioned, but if I think of any you'll be the first to know about it. lol :) I'm curious to know if you've had any luck with the overlays or is that something you are still working on? Only reason I ask is because I was planby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Hey that's cool man, I can understand what it's like to be busy and as I mentioned before there is really no rush at all. You've done more than I had already expected and that rush build is quite an achievement in my opinion. I'm certainly not expecting you to devote all of your time on this. :)by oldskooler - Ideas, requests
That all sounds very promising, I look forward to seeing the results. Hopefully you can find an easy solution for the audio issues too. :) I've been using the ParaJVE emu recently on my laptop and going through various settings/features and I discovered a few visual effects that really help to achieve the look of the original vectrex. I've attached some screen shots in the differentby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Yeah, Minestorm, Solar Quest & Web Wars were easily the best games I ever played on this. With regards to the buzzing noise, it is a little difficult to explain exactly but I remember at the first screen where you see the vectrex logo and it alternates from what looks like a 'normal' font to a 'bold' font - this would cause a distinct change in the buzzing volume (slight bby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Firstly.....wow!!! Thanks for the 'rush build', I can't believe I was just playing Minestorm through my wii. You might think that the front end is a bit ugly, but for me, I certainly couldn't do any better. And even if I could, why would I? This one works. :) I never even considered how awkward/impossible Hyperchase would be until you mentioned it, that game was frustratinby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
Sounds good so far, of course it would be better to have audio as well, but anything is better than nothing. :) As for any other features/ideas...the only thing that springs to mind currently is classic controller support.....I'm sure I'll think of others in time. ;) Also, I'm not sure if you are aware but each game had its own unique transparent overlay to go over the screenby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
QuoteAruskano I apologize if I made you feel bad by using that forbbiden word (rage), oldskooler. I do not see how but just in case... I'm serious. No apology needed at all, I understood the light hearted joke of my 'alleged' rage and found it pretty funny, but anyway, back on topic..... I know the vectrex can't possibly be in high demand but I had always hoped that theby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
With this many views I would've hoped that someone knew if it was possible or not.... I'd be willing to donate to have a functional vectrex emulator, if it can be done. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it greatly.by oldskooler - Ideas, requests
I used to love the vectrex when I was younger and I'd like to know if it's possible to create/port an emulator to the wii? I'm not a coder in any way so I really have no idea but just thought I'd ask for some feedback. So is it possible, any ideas? Thanksby oldskooler - Ideas, requests
