I've built a simple conversion kit that lets you turn arcade sticks into analogue vectrex controllers. What do you think? https://youtu.be/NAQJgIMtfjU

Vectrex Roli is now chorona virus survivalist Roli. With a vaccine in sight maybe he'll come back to us

yikes, thought the padding would do the trick but yeh, i'll chuck in some card in future. It's just a generic clutch clasp. I don't have any spares but sure you could grab one locally. Send me an email if it's a problem.

All of the first wave of orders should have arrived by now.

Well I have designs for them. Not manufactured yet but in the works. I need to sell a bunch of SZ pins to pay for 'em though

Also ... if anyone has any of these Quantum, Liberator or Crystal Castles pins, I will trade HEAVILY for them.. may even pay real money.

I'm working on a series of Vectrex collector pins. Have a test run of 100 Stramash Zone pins ready and available for sale if you fancy one. More pictures here: colector pins Hard Enamel badge with clutch grip. 30x30mm I have 90 from a test run of 100 left. If you'd like one: 8 UK Pounds with postage to the UK. 10 UK Pounds with international postage. PayPal to: clockworkrobot@gmail.com and please be sure to include your address and a note saying it's for "SZ pin". Tanks a lot.

Yes, up is down and left is right. Noted in the instruction manual.

Here's some video of the device interfacing an Atari joystick with the Vectrex. https://youtu.be/8wddVsTe-F0

Hi, I've created a little interface PCB for the vectrex. It offers an alternative to the digital joystick hack. Unlike the old hack that requires you to attach some switches to +5 and some to -5, this one uses a common ground, it makes it much simpler to wire. Iw has originally designed so i could attach an asteroids control panel to my vectrex without having to hack up the original wiring. Anyway if you're building digital joysticks for the vectrex or hooking a vectrex to an arcade cabinet, this may be of interest to you. Check it out. http://www.clockworkrobot.com/joystick-interface-board/ And if you'd like to buy one, check out the shop then drop me an email: clockworkrobot(at)gmail.com

Some video may be helpful? SZ does bank switching but only at the beginning and end of "Stramash Zone". Does "Rammy Zone" exhibit the same issues? No bank switching going on there and it's drawing a few less vectors.
