BinaryStar #1 Posted December 10, 2014 Now taking orders for my homebrew Xmas cartridge at http://www.binarystarsoftware.com/ Very wobbly video (with very low sound as I accidentally covered the mic, d'oh!) of the beta version here : 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+save2600 #4 Posted December 11, 2014 Btw: do the games utilize the analog stick in analog mode? Kind of looked like it by the way I saw the stocking behave in the vid... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BinaryStar #5 Posted December 11, 2014 Yes, analogue mode only. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vectrexer #6 Posted December 11, 2014 Analog stick? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+save2600 #7 Posted December 12, 2014 Analog stick? Hey Vectrexer - with a name like that, you should know the joystick is analog! Only a few games ever took advantage of it in that mode though. Very glad to hear Kid's games do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CubeOfTheDead #8 Posted December 12, 2014 Just bought a copy, hope I qualify for one of the ornaments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vectrexer #9 Posted December 12, 2014 Hey Vectrexer - with a name like that, you should know the joystick is analog! Only a few games ever took advantage of it in that mode though. Very glad to hear Kid's games do! Yes analog. Got confused with "analogue". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CubeOfTheDead #11 Posted December 22, 2014 Hey, what's the status on this? There hasn't been an update, not that I'm being pushy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BinaryStar #13 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Hi guys. All orders have been posted out. I will still accept orders though they will not be processed until around 7th Jan as I have sold out of the initial batch. I'll make Xmas Cart available until the end of Jan for those who missed it.

Manoau2002 #16 Posted December 23, 2014 Free ROM download : http://www.binarystarsoftware.com/?p=97 Merry Xmas! I gave this a play on my vectrex. I really like kaboom style games so I really enjoyed stocking stuffer. Thanks for making this. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CubeOfTheDead #17 Posted December 25, 2014 Got my copy yesterday. Stocking filler is really fun. Save the trees is also good, but I prefer stocking filler. It would have been nice if there were more christmas tunes in it, but other than that its a great game. Well worth a purchase. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanrunomad #18 Posted December 25, 2014 This looks like fun! Nice job. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BinaryStar #19 Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys A little extra xmas present for you : you can enable the starting level select (1-16) for both games by holding button 4 while booting (hold down until the game select screen appears). Once either game is selected, use up/down on the joystick to select the word "ONLY", above "START GAME". Pressing button 4 will cycle through the start level, move down and select "START GAME" to start from the level selected. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Darrin9999 #22 Posted December 30, 2014 Received mine today! No Christmas tree! Bummed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vectrexroli #23 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Received mine today! No Christmas tree! Bummed! Only the first 10 got one, but that was also communicated on the order page. I guess it would be possible to modd the cartridge with an USB port to take the 5 Volts, but it is much easier to take a standard USB PSU anyway, the LED tree is some standard Chinese product you might find now even much cheaper.

vectrexroli #25 Posted December 30, 2014 I guess when Chris announced that cartridge with the tree people went crazy in the Vectrex community. Who knows maybe some people only kept the tree and will sell the carts on eBay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
