Vectrex ROM ripper/downloader

[Crocodilianz]

Is there a Vectrex ROM ripper/downloader? I have a Bedlam EEPROM prototype and would like to download the ROMs.

 

Thanks

The GCE binaries are can be downloaded in the web, for example here. Please note that the GCE binaries have a special licence given by Jay Smith.

 

EDIT: At first I misunderstood your post. FAIK, Mateos has such a hardware to download the code from a ROM.

It actually wouldn't be that hard to build a quick interface to dump that using an EPROM burner since the cart edge is really just mapped directly to pins on the EPROM. Even easier if you don't mind unsoldering the EPROM itself for dumping, no adapter required in that case.

 

Also that's just an EPROM, not an EEPROM. You may want to stick a piece of electrical tape over the window on that for good measure.

36 way edge connector (for the cart) and a 28 way DIP socket (to plug into EPROM programmer)

Thanks all for the info. I don't have the skills to build my own but have sent Mateos an email to see if I can buy one from him.

 

Thanks

Haven't heard anything back yet, wondering if he's still active.

 

If anyone has an MVBD available for sale (or lease - to rip this single game), please let me know.

Where are you in the world anyhow, US I presume?

Yes, I'm in the U.S. (Florida, actually).
