    Vectrex "MiniVex II" controller, with Rapid Fire, twin analog joysticks

    Brand-new, twin joystick controller for Vectrex! It's got a tough, all-metal case. Size is about 3/4 of the factory unit, see photo 4. The two joysticks are analog, like the factory controller. The left and right cables correspond to the left and right joysticks, and a toggle switch on the back selects the left or right cable for button inputs, so you can use the buttons with EITHER joystick, when only one cable is plugged in, or you can plug in both cables and use BOTH joysticks at once! (The toggle switch prevents overlapping button inputs.) Thus this controller is compatible with Robot Arena, and (hopefully) the upcoming Stramash Zone. Now, if those homebrew designers would only grace us with Crazy Vector Climber, and Vectrex Widow, and Cloak & Vector...
    The buttons on this controller are smaller and stiffer than the factory controller, but there's a remedy for that...button #4, most often used for firing, has a rapid fire feature. Just hold it down and bangbangbang! The other toggle switch on the back selects rapid or normal fire, and with the rotary pot you can adjust the firing speed to YOUR liking.
    This controller is not cosmetically perfect...I make them by hand, so they're not going to be perfect.
    Please see my other auction for a simpler, single joystick version of this controller.
    I'll guarantee this controller for 30 days from the day you receive it. If it fails within that time, I'll repair it at no charge.
    Paypal only, will ship anywhere EBay's Global Shipping goes, and THANKS FOR LOOKING!

    Great quality for both the sleeve and the cart holder insert.

     

    FYI's

     

    No notch in the paper sleeve on one side (the side opposite of the seam) to help with overlay insertion and removal.

    Paper sleeve is tighter fit than the original. But still nice to have.

     

    Cart holder insert material thickness is slightly thicker than original era holders. A plus in my book for longer term wear.

    Cart holder insert needs a side edge trim to fit perfectly. Not a biggie. But making the trim could be a challenge for some to do so in a neat and clean fashion.

     

    Still,,, a win for both to have them available.

     

    Thanks to MortoffGames for taking on these projects.

    Direct from the creator himself Mr. Sean Kelly are more Vectrex Cart shells in translucent Orange and translucent Teal.

    Vectrex Empty Cartridge Shells - LOT OF 4 - TRANSPARENT ORANGE - BRAND NEW!
    Vectrex Empty Cartridge Shells
    *** LOT OF FOUR - TRANSPARENT ORANGE ***

    This is an exact replica of the original Vectrex cartridge shell done in transparent orange. You are bidding on a LOT OF FOUR SHELLS. I do not have any auctions for individual shells presently. The cost plus the shipping plus the time it takes to package only one is really not worth the effort.

    I also have TRANSPARENT TEAL in another auction. You are welcome to mix and match colors for a total of four shells. If you need larger quantities of either of these colors, please purchase the number of lots of four that you need and I will refund the shipping difference.

    This item will be shipped via First Class Mail within a week of the auction's end. Domestic shipping is $4 for one lot plus $2 for each additional lot. International shipping will be calculated based on the destination and shipping through eBay’s shipping program.

    I don't know why Web Wars is being played. We pulled that one in one of the first tournaments because a player can play at the slowest speed possible and never be forced to progress through the game while racking up big points.

     

    Well then, similar to Armor Attack in the arcade or on the Vectrex the competition would then be to see who has the most stamina. :)

    Suggest a new Test Cartridge with a new revision number. Maybe rev. 5. Maybe some other revision or name.

    Updated to perform one or more of the following addition functions / tests:

    • Notification to connect Controller or Termination Plug on Controller Port 2 during controller analog centering check.

    • Notification to connect Controller on Controller Port 2 during button operation check.

    • Full Memory Test.

    • Method(s) to check and test bank switching operation.

    • Definition table for Checksum version information for know checksums.

    • Method to check and display Mine Storm version.

    • Method to check and display CPU installed. Just for fun.

    • CPU Stress Test.

    • RAM Stress Test.

    • Other bus connected component Stress Test.

    • Light Pen test

    • 3D Imager test

    • Audio test to specifically demonstrate the Vectrex Buzz, and lack of it.

    • VecVoice test

    • VecVox test

    • Vectrex Link Cable test(s) via Controller Port 2 (Two Vectrex required.)

    • Spinner Controller test

    • Trak-Ball Controller test

    ...other future accessory test.


    And if you're brave enough. The HCF (Halt Catch Fire) instruction. :)
