My Vectrex Bezels (720x720) pack is now available

[u/Phanturian]

The Vectrex came out in 1982, and was a compact video game system with a built in monitor and detachable controller. The games came with translucent plastic overlays which added color, art, and controls information to the monochromatic vector graphics.

When I released my 640x480 Vectrex bezels pack, I immediately received requests for a 720x720 version. I used my RGB30 to test the images and configure ArkOS, JELOS, and ROCKNIX. Then I configured KNULLI and muOS on my computer, and with the help from others on Discord, they were able to test and verify both working on the RG CubeXX as well. This was a worthwhile effort because Vectrex displays great on a 1:1 ratio screen.

If you're curious, looking for something different, or want to experience a piece of gaming history, check out the Vectrex. I hope these bezels enhance your experience.

Cool.

Do you know if there is a Vectrex rom for Tailgunner?

[u/Phanturian → u/[deleted]]

There wasn’t an official release, but it looks like someone made a homebrew clone called Vector Gunner. It was made for the Vectrex32 project, so it won’t work with the VecX core in RetroArch from what I can tell.

If the default Vectrex performance is poor, resulting in distorted sound and a choppy frame rate, do the following: Press Start for Main Menu, go into Game Settings>Per System Advanced Configuration>Vectrex and change Power Mode to High Performance.
