Over 4 years ago Pix started VecAkalabeth using the Vectrex32 BASIC cart. He finished the project and VecAkalabeth can be played… although the newest version was not made public yet – since the first versions of this will be part…
1st of June – “Faulty” VIA vs “INC”
If you followed the last week of Vectorblade beta tests in the forum, you might have read about Peers “special” Vectrex. It was special in the way, that it crashed playing Vectorblade (- or more precisely during startup). We pinned…

4th of January – Spidex & optimization
I was asked for some optimization hints for a “C” project. I made a video of some of my findings. See link below. Some additional points: “dp_” only really works for VIA IO ports (and BIOS RAM locations), since these…
27th of December, First time…
