vectrex MiniVex: newly produced controllers for Vectrex & Atari
classicgamesnut posted a topic in Vectrex
Hi Vectrex-ahloics...got a worn-out controller, and those little space mines are walking all over you? Here's some new alternatives to get those scores back up where they should be. The following hand controllers are compatible with Vectrex only, but the foot pedal add-on is compatible with Atari 2600 / VCS also. -MiniVex I: single analog joystick with rapid fire capability for button #4.Comes with your choice of red, black, or gray buttons. -MiniVex II: twin analog sticks, rapid fire for button #4. Can be operated on one cable as a conventional single-stick controller, or on both cables for simultaneous dual stick action games such as Robot Arena or Stramash Zone. Has a toggle switch for selecting left or right cable for button input, both for selecting the appropriate cable when only one cable is plugged in and preventing overlapping inputs when both cables are plugged in. -MiniVex III: spinner and analog joystick in one unit, rapid fire for button #4. Comes in both LH spinner and RH spinner models. These are compatible with homebrew spinner titles and original titles that have been modified for spinner use. Also functions as a conventional joystick controller. The spinner doubles as an additional fire button...just push down on it. -MiniVex IV: LH mounted spinner, rapid fire for button #4, no joystick. Comes with choice of red, black, or gray buttons. Like the MiniVex III, it's compatible with homebrew spinner games and original titles that have been modified for spinner use. The following foot pedal add-on is compatible with both Vectrex and the Atari 2600 / VCS. -MiniVex Pedal I: foot pedal interface for the Vectrex and Atari 2600. Plugs right into either console and provides a foot pedal substitute for the four Vectrex buttons, the action buttons on the Atari joystick, driving controller, and player 1 paddle, as well as all four directions on the Atari joystick. Works with factory and aftermarket controllers. Cable measures 6" between console jack and selector box, and 5' between selector box and pedal. All of these controllers, with the exception of the actual foot pedal, come in a steel case and are hand-made by me. It's a very time-consuming process, and the finished products are not and will never be cosmetically perfect, but they are TOUGH. Here's how they compare in size to the factory unit: Interested in one of these? You can contact me here, or purchase through eBay. As these are so time-consuming to make, I generally post them on eBay as soon as they're completed. Prices and shipping are the same whether purchased on eBay or through me. My eBay seller's name is: classicgamesandcarsfan. Larry / Classicgamesnut on AtariAge

The creator of the MiniVex analog controller is back with more. MiniVex I Hand Made Metal Cased Analog Vectrex Controllers coming soon to eBay. Here are some teaser images from the creator. This time the controller buttons will be in various colors including Black, Gray, and Red. Possibly some others in the future too. Keep your eyes peeled and searches saved. #MiniVex #Custom #Vectrex #Analog #Controller #ClassicGamesAndCarsFan https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?&_ssn=classicgamesandcarsfan&_nkw=MiniVex Update with description text from the listing: "Brand-new controller for the classic Vectrex system, featuring a tough steel case, analog joystick, and a rapid fire feature for button #4. Flip a switch on the back of the unit and hold down button #4 for rapid automatic fire! Use the rotary pot to adjust the firing rate to your liking. Unit is about 3/4 the size of the factory controller, see photo #5. Buttons are available in three colors as shown. NOTE: I have a very limited supply of each, so I cannot mix colors...they must be ALL red, black or gray. Plugs right into the Vectrex, no adapter needed. These units are hand-made by me, so they're not, and never will be, cosmetically perfect. Guaranteed for 30 days from the day you receive it...if it fails within that time, I will repair it at no charge. Will ship anywhere EBay's Global Shipping goes. Paypal only, and thanks for looking!"

CHIMNEY HUNT! A free vectrex game. visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/vectrex/ and find the download. Video here: https://youtu.be/JmAB6ncZ3Ss The Story: It's Christmas time but disaster! Due to price increases Santa can't afford to make enough presents! The gifts he's lost over the years whilst delivering down chimneys would be enough to cover the shortfall if only there was an economic way to collect them all. Elf boffins from the temporal engineering department to the rescue. By adapting the space folding technology that lets Santa deliver presents to 7 Billion people in one night, they've managed to space-warp every chimney on earth into one gigantic mega-chimney. You must fly down the mega-chimney and collect all the lost presents to save Christmas. Dare you enter the Mega-Chimney? Good Luck!

Snowball in the black shell is now available to preorder. The price is £18 plus p&p (£4 UK, £9 EU, £10 Rest of World). Snowball is a simple 2 player Vs game where you and another player control an elf each in a snowball fight, first to 3 wins. Video of me playing both players on my own here: https://youtu.be/Fw4PMZScdMA This edition is not limited but I only have 50 PCBs on order for this so it would be some time to restock if they sell out. If you would just like a ROM of the game with your own personalised title page message then the price is £5; if you are buying the cart version, I will happily send you a ROM file with personalised message at no extra cost. Drop us an email on enquiries@vectorrepublic.co.uk with your address and I will send you a PayPal link for the total to your location.

I'm working on a new driving game for Vectrex. UK readers will probably spot the inspiration. Still got a bit to do to it, design the maps, add a different car, add sound and a few other bits and pieces but the core of the game is there. Take a look. https://youtu.be/McSoI8k1Yy4

Thought I'd let you all have a sneak peak of "Pollinator, 'Bee One' with Nature", my new vectrex game project. Pollinator is based on an electromechanical arcade machine we built earlier in the year, which its self was inspired by Ice Cold Beer (which its self is based on a traditional pub game). This is a very early preview of the basic game mechanic but my ambition here is to produce a fast, smooth, relatively simple game but with oodles of levels and animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_HRRfJXWpg&feature=youtu.be "Bee the Best".

Been lurking around here for a while. But now this thing interests me enough to post. Okay now this one is not mine. But I am thinking about buying it. Do any of you have one? Can it really play all of the games? Is it worth the price? The details say it's released in 2018. But reading back it look like maybe as long ago as 2015 or 2016. Anyone know the real release date? Or maybe this is a different version? This is the same cart as the one released by Thomas Sontowski, correct? Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VecFever-for-Vectrex-SUPER-RARE/113265920590? Title: VecFever for Vectrex SUPER RARE!!!!! SubTitle: PCB Comes in a blue clear plastic shell Details: Condition: Like New : Seller Notes: “ORIGINAL PCB MOUNTED IN CLEAR BLUE PLASTIC SHELL” Release Year: 2018 Platform: Vectrex Genre: Arcade Game Name: VecFever THIS AMAZING CART IS EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT FOR YOUR VECTREX SYSTEM. YOU CAN PLUG IT INTO YOUR PC VIA THE USB PORT AND LOAD ON YOUR OWN GAMES. IT KEEPS TRACK OF HIGH SCORES IN THE ORIGINAL GAMES. A GREAT PROGRAMMING TOOL WITH MANY FEATURES. BUILT IN EXCLUSIVE GAMES (2048 DELUXE, HEAD ON, RELEASE, ROBOT ARENA, ROCKS DELUXE, ROCKS 'N SAUCERS AND THE CORE) ALONG WITH MANY EXCLUSIVE DEMO PROGRAMS AND ALL THE ORIGINALS AND LOTS OF OTHER ASSORTED DEMOS. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS VECTREX COLLECTOR. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SELL THIS BUT I MUST! MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.

Hello. I'm new user here but wondered if anyone could offer some advice. I recently bought Vectrex which is generally in very good condition and works well except for some alignment issues that are more obvious on certain games. I saw some guides and have used the test cart to correct what I can. The DAC adjustment is set to 0 and I've used the 2 vector adjustment pots to make sure the Integrator offset screen looks as perfect as I can get it but things still don't seem to align quite how they should. The issues show up mainly in games with rotating objects such as the player ships in games like Ripoff. The ship seems to distort and lines cross over one another as the ship rotates. There is a link to short video below to try and show the problem - notice the wings that should be separated come together and then pull apart again as the ship rotates: https://i.imgur.com/SxMf0Dh.mp4 I can use the pots to correct for this and the ship will rotate normally but then other games and the integrator test screen show poor alignment (for example the ships in Starship are drawn with a large gap in them where the lines no longer join up). Below are photos of screens from the test cart. Do you think this problem is due to the Caps needing to be replaced or does it point to another problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I will be doing Japanese/Bandai style stickers for my existing game (Big Blue) and next game (Frontier). As the original Bandai games were numbered on the cart label 1-11 I have made my games 12 and 13. A taste of the artwork:

Hi friends! As we all know, carts for our beloved Atari 5200 console surprisingly did not come with labels on the top, making it very frustrating to find a particular title. OK, not as bad as loose N64 carts, but still bothersome. I have been scouring the forums, have asked around, and it seems that no one has made end labels (top labels) for the 5200 and made them publicly available. Many people say to just use a Dymo label maker (and I say boo to that!) I asked a few people who have made end labels for other consoles, and no one had any interest in making labels for the 5200. I finally realized, with some encouragement from bah, to attempt to just make my own. I decided to do that and I'd like to put them out here for the community to use, if anyone so desires. My intention was to make a label for every cart that was unidentifiable in a loose collection. --- EDIT 12/22: Based on feedback and thinking about them more, I redesigned the 5200 labels to look more authentic to what Atari may have released, if they had put end labels on themselves. I scrapped the box art spine idea and made these from scratch. I think they look 1000 times better and really make the games look gorgeous. I've very happy (and somewhat surprised) with how nicely they turned out. The previous labels were grey, the same color as the box art. The grey didn't really look right as a label, nor were they really consistant with Atari's end labels before and after the 5200. These new labels use the cobalt blue of the 5200 box art with a rainbow stripe across the top. Care was taken to put trademark symbols where appropriate, in the correct places (as if Atari had made them) and that the RealSports font is correct. I hope you'll agree they look sharp. Post updated below with new pics and instructions, along with the new .pdf template. Here is a pic of the labels themselves: --- Just to be clear, I'm not selling labels. I'm simply supplying the label templates I used and info on how I made mine, in the hopes of making it easy for others. I used a site - www.onlinelabels.com - to make them, but also want to make clear that I'm not associated with them. I did have a nice transaction and recommend them; if you do want to print your own labels, my instructions will be using the templates they use. Basically, you would have to buy the label paper from them and print the .pdf below to it. What kind of paper and how much you get is all up to you. Of course, you should plan on getting extra because you will most likely have some issues with alignment. Each label is 3.125" x .5" These are the longest labels I could find that were suitable. Sadly, they look a little short and really should be 3.5" x .5" I designed these labels using box art from thecoverproject.net and my pathetic Photoshop skills. I barely know how to use PS, so these labels are nothing fancy but I think these blue ones turned out quite well. I originally made them simply white text on blue, and decided to see how it would look with the rainbow stripe across the top. I think the splash of color looks nice (but could easily make an alternate set without the rainbow stripe). The 5200 labels require Template OL1543 at onlinelabels.com: http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL1543.htm To experiment, I bought 3 different kinds of their paper for my laser printer: Standard White Matte, White Gloss Laser and Weatherproof Laser. I had best results with White Gloss Laser. The White Matte is workable and doesn't look bad, but the glossy truly looks best for these blue labels. The Weatherproof did not print correctly for me at all. When printing from my Mac -> Samsung laser printer, I used Preview with the default "US Letter" page setting, "Glossy Photo" paper type and "Best" quality. For PC users, I don't imagine it could be much different. However, I haven't tested them on a PC or an inkjet printer. The template of the label paper doesn't leave any room for "bleed" so it will need to be pretty exact. You can print a blank template from the website and use it to help align before wasting label paper. Here are some pics of my collection: Someone much more artistic/talented than myself should make replacement labels for CBS games, totally identical to the original and applied over the old sticker, upside-down, so the game name reads on the end. I'm not ever eager to deface a label, but I could make an exception for CBS carts. I recently came across an extra Blueprint who's corner was peeling, so I slowly removed the label and applied it the "correct" way, to see how it would look. Forgiving the damage the left cart's label took from being peeled off, which looks better to you? I also made a set of Vectrex labels for my loose collection. I used box art for them and they turned out pretty authentic-looking. If someone with good printing equipment can make fancier ones, please do and sell them on the forums for cost + postage! The Vectrex labels require Template OL6950 and White Gloss Laser looked best to me. http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL6950.htm I hope this helps, and if anyone tries printing/making their own, I'm interested to know your results. Cheers! 5200_blue_labels_template_OL1543.pdf vectrex_labels_template_OL6950.pdf
