Good vectrex emulation - how?

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I have finally played around with my Raspberry PI Model 1 (I've had it for 3 years). One of the first things to test was RetroPie. So far it all works fine.

Now I am wondering: HOW can I get a decent vectrex emulation? I have tried the (libretto?) vectrex emulator that is included. I think this is nothing like the real thing: The graphics are blocky and not vector-like, the vector lines are very thick. Also the sound is just awful!!

Is there any way to get a decent emulation on retropie or with raspberry, or maybe with another small-board PC?
Will the emulator run any better with a raspberry Model 2 oder 3?

Thanks for any advice!

You can try the mame/mess emulator. The Windows version of mame Vectrex doesn't look that good either; it's not bad and I'm not sure how it compares to libretro-vecx in retropie.

 

I also have the ParaJVE vectrex emulator and it looks very good on my led monitor. It has this glow/persistence effect and settings to control it. ParaJVE is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I expect the Linux version is x86 only.
