Richard H. Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Let us know when Some time yet. Which is why I'm thinking of resurrecting the VecFlash for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vk4akp Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Oh OK. What stumbling blocks have you come up against with the SD card implementation? Also were you the original designer of the VecFlash as well? I would assume the big advantage of the newer SD card version would be you could store far more ROM images in it? .-.-.

Richard H. Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 What stumbling blocks have you come up against with the SD card implementation? None, I just like to make sure it works OK. Which means lot's of testing, tinkering and PCB revisions. And also fitting in the time between work and other projects. Also were you the original designer of the VecFlash as well? Yes. I would assume the big advantage of the newer SD card version would be you could store far more ROM images in it? A LOT more. Every game now and in the future.

PFL Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Let us know when Some time yet. Which is why I'm thinking of resurrecting the VecFlash for a while. As someone who is just now getting a real Vectrex after many years of coveting them I would love it if you resurrected the VecFlash for a time while you work on the predecessor.

Richard H. Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) As I'm Months away from finishing the new cart, the VecFlash will be back in stock in about 2 weeks from now. Thanks. Edited April 25, 2010 by Richard H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well, I'll certainly buy one in the interim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd-w Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Is that an ARM CPU in the VecFlash USB? Incidentally, I wrote the SD/FAT driver for the Harmony cart, so let me know if you would like to reuse any of the code (mostly C)? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Is that an ARM CPU in the VecFlash USB? It's a PIC. so let me know if you would like to reuse any of the code It's OK - thanks. To be honest, I need to sell some more of the USB version to fund the new cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 To be honest, I need to sell some more of the USB version to fund the new cart. You know, if you remember the history of the Osborne 2 computer, this might not be the best marketing strategy... Actually, I'm probably in, as I'd be OK with the USB version, since I already have an SK multi-cart. (Just a question of whether I can afford it now that there's a Coleco Adam SD adapter coming out... Hmm...) desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 ^ If you remember the history of the Osborne 2 computer you'll know that John Osborne much preferred the Vectrex over the Coleco Adam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard H. Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 What is the price of a VecFlash USB? $80 shipped. Will the new one be higher priced? Hopefully about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk4akp Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Why isn't someone doing something similar with an SD card adapter? Like this one - I was just looking at the specs of the Vectrex and I have some questions. Will this new SD card cart expand the 1k of memory the Vectrex has? Or is there any other way to expand the memory? More memory would allow better games to be developed. What is the weight of a Vectrex? (For shipping calculations). Our group is looking to buy a Vectrex for our displays. Either locally in Australia or from the UK. If anyone can help out please contact me. (We need a PAL 220 / 240 VAC model). Are there any plans to make more of the speech adapters for the Vectrex? Its so wonderful to see people still developing such amazing items for these wonderful old Retro machines. TNX! .-.-.
