bleeptrackOk wait, there is an active Vectrex Homebrew scene?! Why did I not know about this? Really thinking about getting one now š
Someone into that going to #why2025 by chance?

Trammell Hudson@bleeptrack I will be at WHY, but gifted my Vectrex when I left NYC. Wish I still had one for art projects as well as playing classic vector arcade games!
@th oohhhhhh š but Vectrex or not - would love to hang out together!
Dries@bleeptrack @th already regretting not being at WHY ā¦ could have brought a Vectrex along.
Should any Vectrex hacking happen in the future, Iām signing up ^_^

Arthur Elsenaar@th Perhaps mod a monochrome CRT for vector display? I have an original Atari Asteroids board I still want to fix and use.

phooky@th @bleeptrack who did that vectrex end up with?
CarstenToo bad. I based some real fun on your vector stuff! Thanks.
SuperIlu@bleeptrack there are even "new" boxed games made for it š

@dec_hl aaahhhhhh, thats so cooooool!
@bleeptrack I had to get it when I saw it on VCFe.
Tuns out: I already had the game on a homebrew cart I built some years ago from a PCB available on GitHub.
The GFX and SFX of the Vectrex are so unique and amazing. I love my consoles! I even have Vectrex sounds as ringtones on my phone š
@dec_hl have you by chance tried pitrex or something in that direction?
@bleeptrack nope, but now I want to š
I have an old laser effect module in my stash which I always wanted to hack as an output device for a vectrex emulator. But as always: so much to do, so little time...
@bleeptrack probably the only console I would buy. But prices even for defective ones are so high.
So I make my vector graphics on my oscilloscope...

Based on Trammells work.
Or with my synths. Not quite oscilloscope music tho š
@blenderbuch oi! š

I have built a scopetrex, which uses a analog scope as a display.

This project is designed by @tubetime
As I travel by Train, I do no have the space to bring it with me. Analog Scopes uses to much space.

@bleeptrack
If someone or a village can provide a dry spot and an analog scope i could it bring with me to #why2025. Also tried to build a vextreme flashcard but never got it running.

@kuchenblechmafia I'd love to see it but no need to bring it just for me ;)

James@bleeptrack There is a little bit of Vectrex in the Demoscene too š https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?platform%5B%5D=Vectrex
