Christmas some days early… (from a vectrex developer point of view)… “unpacking” and one of the many fantastic features! Malban PS I’m so beside myself… some info I was sure everyone in the vectrex world knows… More info on…
I stopped working on the source and I also decided there will be no new version of Vectrex Frogger. Due to several circumstances which will be explained further below, Vectrex Frogger is dead and the only version available will be…
Just a small progress report on the happenings around the new Frogger version. Nearly there! I guess I will do some small fixings, optimizations and possibly beautifying – but all in all there is a feature freeze. Following stuff changed…
Hi, I finally came around actually uploading V1.09 version of Vide. For “users” not much changed, some of the bugfixes and additions I mentioned in previous posts and there <might> be some other additions – check out the changelog: VideChangeLog.txt…

I “talked” about it for quite some time – but this week I actually did some Frogger programming. Frogger Special edition Following things are on my schedule: arcade music and sound effects smoother graphics keeping the “under 30000 cycles” barrier…
Just a small note. I added two options to Vide, T1- and Shift- delays. This is not the correct emulation of VIA I mentioned in the last post – but fiddling with the settings I was able to get…
During my last holidays (which were computer and vectrex – free) I had much spare time. As it happens when you have spare time on your hands – the thoughts wander of in different directions. Since I have been thinking…
